Missing protective gloves
Detect operators working without protective gloves at the production line.
The system detects when protective gloves are not being worn during work
The “No Protective Gloves” scenario detects an operator working without gloves on the production line. Hand protection is essential when handling sharp edges, hot components, and chemicals, and working without gloves is a common cause of cuts and burns.
The system detects a violation the moment the operator’s unprotected hands appear in the monitored area, 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 without gloves enters the monitored area.
Positions selected by the user
You specify the workstations where gloves are required, and the detection system works only in those specific locations, not throughout the entire hall.
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-gloves detection works
Industrial cameras watch the workstation while vision servers run the SAM3 detection model with the prompt "worker hands without protective gloves" at the edge. Every match becomes an event that integration gateways forward to AndonCloud and machine PLCs.
The event turns into an alert, an andon signal, a dashboard entry and a line in a report — with no footage sent to the cloud and no strain on your infrastructure.
A reaction that depends on the specific position
The system can trigger different actions depending on the risk associated with a given workstation—for example, just a light signal for less critical tasks, or, in addition, a machine shutdown where contact without gloves could result in serious injury.
The notification is sent to the person on duty
Alerts and incident reports are sent to the foreman or the person supervising the specific workstation, rather than just to the general dashboard, which reduces the time between detection and response on the shop floor.
Data processed locally
All image analysis takes place on the facility’s video server. Only information about a detected breach is transmitted externally; the camera feed is never sent outside.
Example use and privacy
At the mounting bracket, the camera detects the operator’s bare hands. The system immediately sends a warning to the workstation and a notification to the foreman, and the incident itself is recorded in the health and safety report.
The system recognizes when the operator’s hands are bare, not the person’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.
Detection of the state, not the type of threat
The system detects whether the operator's hands are protected, but it does not assess whether specific gloves are appropriate for the hazards at a given workstation, such as cuts, high temperatures, or contact with chemicals
Data to Support Risk Assessment at the Workstation
Recording the time and location of violations helps assess where the risk of hand injuries is greatest. Repeated violations may indicate that the available gloves are uncomfortable for the task at hand, prompting the operator to work without them.

Frequently asked questions
- An operator working without protective gloves at the production line. The system recognises the "no gloves" state, not the person's identity.
- No. Detection is about a state and an object — there is no biometric identification or face recognition.
- Yes. Detection areas are configurable, so the system reacts only where hand protection is mandatory.
- 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 at the edge on the vision server, so the reaction happens as the event occurs.
- Standard industrial IP cameras watching the workstation; the image is analysed locally by the vision server.
- No. Analysis happens at the edge — only events leave the site, not the video stream.
- Yes. Integration gateways link events to AndonCloud and PLC controllers — for example a light signal or a notification.
The “No Protective Gloves” scenario detects an operator without gloves on the production line. Hand protection is essential when handling sharp edges, hot components, and chemicals, and working without gloves is a common cause of cuts and burns. The system detects a violation the moment the operator’s hands appear unprotected, allowing for an immediate response rather than waiting until after the incident to analyze the footage.
Industrial cameras monitor the workstation, and the video server recognizes the hands of an operator working without protective gloves based on 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 in the form of an alert, an Andon signal, a dashboard entry, and a report entry.
For example, at an assembly station, the camera detects the operator’s bare hands and sends a warning at the workstation and a notification to the foreman. The system recognizes the situation where the operator’s hands are bare, not the person’s identity. There is no facial recognition or biometric identification here, as it is not necessary to detect the violation.
