The problem

PPE violations happen when nobody is watching.

Missing PPE near live equipment

A worker without a vest or hard hat near moving machinery is a serious incident waiting to happen.

Shift-start non-compliance

Workers entering the floor without full PPE before supervisors have completed checks.

PPE removed mid-shift

Hard hats, gloves, and goggles removed during long shifts — especially in warm or uncomfortable areas.

Contractor blind spots

Contractors and visitors entering plant areas without required PPE, unseen by permanent staff.

No audit trail

When incidents happen, there is no record of who was wearing what, and when.

Manual spot-checks fail at scale

Supervisors cannot monitor every zone simultaneously — violations go unnoticed between rounds.

What FlowLinks detects

Configured PPE requirements, monitored automatically.

Missing hard hats

Detects workers in designated hard-hat zones without head protection — alerts supervisors within seconds.

Missing safety vests

Identifies workers on the floor without high-visibility reflective vests in required areas.

Missing gloves

Flags ungloved hands in zones where glove use is mandatory for safety or quality reasons.

Missing safety footwear

Detects workers in areas requiring safety shoes or boots who are not wearing compliant footwear.

Contractor & visitor compliance

Monitors all personnel in plant areas — not just employees — ensuring visitors comply with PPE rules.

Shift & zone compliance reports

PPE compliance rate per zone, shift, and team — so managers can identify patterns and address gaps.

FlowLinks operates as a PPE detection system for manufacturing facilities — checking whether workers in configured zones are wearing required protective equipment during monitored shifts. When the system identifies a PPE violation detection event, it generates an automated alert with a timestamped clip so supervisors can investigate without reviewing hours of footage. It works with compatible existing CCTV to monitor helmets, safety vests, gloves, masks, and other configured items. For a practical look at how recurring PPE gaps can appear between manual checks, read our PPE compliance monitoring guide. PPE detection is one of several safety and operations capabilities within FlowLinks' AI video analytics for manufacturing.

How it works

Live in days, not months.

01

Connect your cameras

FlowLinks connects to existing factory CCTV — no hardware replacement or new installations required.

02

Configure PPE rules

Define which PPE is required per zone, what constitutes a violation, and who receives alerts.

03

AI monitors configured zones

The platform analyses configured camera feeds — no staff needed to watch screens.

04

Alert, clip, log

When a PPE violation is detected, supervisors receive an automated alert with a timestamped clip for review and records.
