Missing safety glasses
Detect operators without safety glasses during welding, grinding and similar work.
The system detects when safety glasses are not being worn during work
The "No Safety Glasses" scenario detects an operator using a tool without safety glasses, for example, while welding or grinding. Fly-off particles, sparks, and dust pose a direct threat to the eyes, which is why eye protection is mandatory for many tasks.
The system detects a violation the moment the operator begins working with a tool without safety glasses, allowing for an immediate response rather than waiting until after the incident to analyze the footage.
Reaction at the moment it happens
The system triggers an alert and an Andon signal the moment an operator begins working with a given tool without safety glasses.
Tied to tool work
This scenario applies to operators performing welding, grinding, and similar tasks—that is, situations where there is a real risk to the eyes.
Around-the-clock monitoring
Detection operates continuously, 24 hours a day, regardless of shifts, so monitoring does not depend on the presence of a specific supervisor at any given time.
How missing-safety-glasses detection works
Industrial cameras monitor the workstation, and the video server identifies an operator working with a tool without safety goggles using the SAM3 detection model, which operates locally without the need to connect to external servers. Each detected violation is routed through integration gateways to AndonCloud and to the machines’ PLCs.
This event triggers an alert, an Andon signal, a dashboard entry, and a record in the report. The recordings are not sent to the cloud, so the analysis does not place a burden on the plant’s network or IT infrastructure.
Detection at the edge
The model runs on a video server located on-site. This allows the system to respond immediately, without any delays caused by transmitting recordings off-site.
Andon & PLC integration
Upon detecting a violation, the system can activate a light signal, send a notification to the foreman, or trigger a specific action on the machine's controller, such as stopping the machine.
No footage in the cloud
Only information about the incident is released to the public; camera footage is never released. The video data never leaves the facility.
Example use and privacy
At the grinding station, a camera detects an operator not wearing safety glasses. The system immediately sends a warning and a notification to supervision, and the incident itself is recorded in the health and safety report.
The system recognizes when an operator is working without safety glasses, not the operator’s identity. There is no facial recognition or biometric identification involved, as this is not necessary to detect the violation.
No personal identification
The system responds to objects and situations, not to personal data. The camera does not recognize faces and does not link an incident to a specific employee.
Recurrence as a Warning Sign
If violations occur regularly at a given workstation, this may indicate that the safety glasses are uncomfortable, that they are not readily available at that location, or that procedures are not reviewed frequently enough—rather than simply a one-time oversight on the part of the operator.
Health and Safety Training Materials
Recording the time and location allows you to refer to a specific incident when discussing health and safety procedures, rather than basing the discussion on the participants’ general impressions or memories.

Frequently asked questions
- An operator using a tool without safety glasses, for example while welding or grinding. The system recognises the "no glasses" state, not the person's identity.
No. Detection pertains to the status and the object. We do not perform biometric identification or facial recognition.
Where eye protection is required, such as during welding, grinding, and similar tasks in which sparks, spatter, and dust pose a risk to eyesight.
- The event triggers an alert, an andon signal, a dashboard entry and a report line; it can also trigger an action on a machine controller.
Yes. The model runs locally on a video server located on-site, so the system responds immediately upon detecting a breach.
- Standard industrial IP cameras watching the workstation; the image is analysed locally by the vision server.
No. Image analysis takes place locally, on the facility’s video server. Only information about a detected breach is sent externally; never the camera image or video stream.
Yes. Integration gateways link events to AndonCloud and PLC controllers — for example a light signal or a notification.

For example, at a grinding station, a camera detects an operator without safety glasses and sends a warning and a notification to supervision. The system recognizes the situation in which the operator is working without safety glasses, not the person’s identity. There is no facial recognition or biometric identification involved, as this is not necessary to detect the violation.
