SAIFI makes your environment responsive.

SAIFI is an advanced, vision-based detection system that monitors defined risk zones in real time and automatically controls access, warnings and barriers based on live site conditions. Powered by intelligent AI technology and delivered by WSS, SAIFI adds a responsive control layer to your existing safety infrastructure — without replacing what already works.

Forklift & Pedestrian Interaction

PPE Entry Compliance

Why Traditional Safety Controls Still Leave Gaps

Barriers, line marking and signage remain essential. However, they do not respond to changing conditions in real time.

Risk develops dynamically — and static controls rely on awareness and behaviour alone to manage it.

A forklift enters a blind corner

No barrier or line marking can respond to what is approaching from the other side. The risk exists in the moment — not in the layout.

A pedestrian steps into a traffic lane

Signage was visible. Markings were in place. The decision happened in a moment of inattention that no static control could prevent.

PPE compliance drops during shift change

High-volume entry points are difficult to monitor consistently. Standards that hold under supervision can slip when attention is divided.

A restricted zone is breached

Access controls define boundaries. They do not detect movement once those boundaries are crossed or monitor what happens inside.

SAIFI strengthens these controls by observing activity, identifying defined risk conditions and triggering predefined responses automatically.

It enhances physical safety systems — it does not replace them.

The Technology

A Trainable Detection Platform — Configured Around Your Risk

SAIFI is not a fixed-function camera system. It is a configurable vision-based detection platform that can be trained to recognise objects, behaviours or environmental conditions specific to your site.

Detection logic is defined during system design and refined over time. As your site evolves, the system evolves with it.

This may include:

  • Pedestrian presence in vehicle zones

    Continuous monitoring of shared-use areas where pedestrian and vehicle paths intersect.

  • Vehicle movement patterns

    Detection of forklift approach, speed and direction within defined risk zones.

  • PPE compliance

    Real-time verification of required personal protective equipment at controlled entry points.

  • Restricted access breaches

    Immediate detection of unauthorised personnel or vehicle entry into controlled areas.

  • Equipment obstruction

    Identification of materials or machinery blocking traffic lanes, fire exits or emergency access routes.

  • Defined exclusion zone penetration

    Instant response when any boundary is crossed in zones that must remain clear at all times.

Example Application 01

Controlled Forklift & Pedestrian Interaction

In shared-use zones, segregation often relies on signage and awareness. With SAIFI installed, the zone is continuously monitored and separation is dynamically enforced — reducing reliance on reaction time alone.

🚜
Step 01

Forklift Approaches

The system detects vehicle movement and immediately scans the defined zone for pedestrian presence.

Monitoring Active
🚶
Step 02

Pedestrian Detected

Forklift access remains locked. Visual warnings activate. The vehicle waits until the zone is clear.

Access Locked
Step 03

Zone Clears

Pedestrian gates secure. Forklift access unlocks. Vehicle entry is permitted safely.

Access Permitted

If Both Enter Simultaneously

Audible alarms activate · High-visibility warnings trigger · Notifications issued · Interaction logged for review
Example Application 02

PPE Compliance at Controlled Entry Points

Maintaining consistent PPE compliance can be challenging in high-volume environments. With SAIFI deployed at entry zones, the process is immediate, consistent and impartial.

🚶
Step 01

Individual Approaches

Individual is scanned as they approach. Required PPE is verified in real time before access is granted.

Scanning Active
Step 02A

Compliant

Gate unlocks. Entry is seamless. No supervisor intervention required.

Entry Permitted
Step 02B

PPE Missing

Projected warning appears in front of the individual. Gate remains locked. Visual alert activates.

Entry Denied
Important Context

Designed to Support Behaviour — Not Replace It

SAIFI is not a substitute for safe systems of work.

It is deployed where core controls are already in place, behavioural expectations are clear, and leadership supports proactive risk management.

  • Core controls are already in place
  • Behavioural expectations are clear
  • Leadership supports proactive risk management

The system reinforces discipline.

It does not remove responsibility.

Deployment Strategy

Phased Deployment — Start With One Defined Risk Area

SAIFI is often introduced in a single high-risk location, such as:

  • A blind crossing
  • A loading bay intersection
  • A controlled access point

Once proven, the system can expand into additional zones. This phased approach:

  • Reduces capital risk
  • Demonstrates measurable value
  • Builds internal confidence
  • Supports structured budget planning
08

Integrated With Your Existing Safety Infrastructure

SAIFI delivers maximum value when integrated into wider safety systems. WSS ensures it operates alongside:

  • Barrier protection systems
  • Forklift–pedestrian segregation
  • Projected safety signage
  • Access control infrastructure
  • Site-wide safety management systems
It becomes the intelligent control layer that connects physical and visual safety measures into a coordinated response framework.
09

Supported Like Critical Equipment — Not Left as Software

Industrial environments operate at pace. If safety systems are down, they must be addressed promptly. WSS provides:

  • Structured commissioning
  • Defined ownership
  • Clear support pathways
  • Ongoing optimisation
  • Integration with operational stakeholders
This is operational infrastructure — not a standalone technology install.
