Workstation monitoring system

Do you want to know how long work at a workstation actually takes and how many operators are working there at any given time?
Our workstation monitoring system with an industrial camera analyzes employee presence in real time, counts people in the work area, and provides data on actual staffing levels—without identifying specific individuals.
This solution increases production efficiency, supports team management, and allows you to respond quickly to irregularities.

How does the workstation monitoring system work?

A CCTV camera records when operators arrive at and leave their workstations. The system automatically determines the start and end times of work, creating a complete record of activity.
Thanks to the silhouette or head recognition function, the system shows how many operators are actually at the workstation — e.g., one, two, or three people.

Elimination of accidental passages

The ROI (Region of Interest) allows you to distinguish between people who are actually working and those who are just passing by the workstation. This ensures that the data is reliable and free from interference.

Staffing analysis and automatic alerts

The system compares the planned staffing with the actual status, e.g., an average of 3 people logged in, 2 actually present.
Discrepancies between the plan and reality help to detect organizational errors, delays, or staff availability issues.
If the number of people at a workstation falls below a certain value for a longer period of time, the system can automatically send a notification to the manager or production director.

Work and planning optimization

Attendance data shows whether the actual number of operators meets the needs of the workstation. The system helps in rational staffing planning and resource utilization.
The constant presence of a full staff may indicate excessive workload for employees. Analyses help to balance the work of teams and prevent errors.

Improvement of work organization and material flow

Analysis of the time spent at the workstation reveals that operators often leave to fetch materials or tools – this is a signal to improve work organization and shorten travel routes around the hall. This improves internal logistics, reduces time losses, and increases the fluidity of production processes.

Data security and GDPR compliance

The system does not identify individuals—it only counts their presence. It does not record faces, biometric features, or any sensitive data.
This solution is fully GDPR-compliant and works similarly to traditional industrial monitoring, but provides significantly more analytical data.

Benefits for the production plant

✅ Increased production efficiency
✅ Reduction of downtime and staff shortages
✅ Optimization of planning and staffing
✅ Automatic notifications of anomalies
✅ Secure and GDPR-compliant data processing

Summary

The workstation monitoring system is a modern tool that allows you to accurately measure the actual working time and attendance of operators, while ensuring full protection of personal data.

Key benefits:

- Optimized work efficiency – the system provides reliable data that helps you plan resources, avoid downtime, and increase production efficiency.
- Automatic alerts and staffing analysis – the solution immediately detects irregularities and informs managers about them, supporting quick response and continuity of production processes.
