Pallet blocking emergency exit
Detect pallets and objects obstructing an escape route or emergency exit.
A blocked exit caught before you need it
The "Pallet blocking emergency exit" scenario detects a pallet or box obstructing a fire door or escape route. Clear exits are a precondition for safe evacuation, and a parked load can appear by a door unnoticed in the rush of a shift.
Automatic detection lets you restore the route at once — before the obstruction becomes a problem in an emergency — instead of finding it during an inspection or a real evacuation.
Reaction the moment it is blocked
A detection raises an alert and andon signal the instant a pallet or box appears in the watched exit area.
Configurable exit zones
You define the fire doors and escape routes that must stay clear — detection runs only where it matters.
Around-the-clock monitoring
Detection runs continuously, 24/7, with no fatigue or breaks — exit clearance is covered on every shift.
How blocked-exit detection works
Industrial cameras watch the exit area while vision servers run the SAM3 detection model with the prompt "pallet or box blocking emergency exit" 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.
Detection at the edge
The model runs locally on the vision server — low latency and no footage streamed off-site.
Andon & PLC integration
A detected event can trigger a light signal, a supervisor notification or an action on a machine controller.
No footage in the cloud
Analysis happens at the edge — only events leave the site, not the video stream.
Example use and privacy
At a warehouse fire door the camera spots a parked pallet and immediately triggers a light signal and a supervisor notification, while the event lands in the safety report.
The system recognises the "blocked exit" state by watching the area and objects, not people — it performs no biometric identification or face recognition.
No personal identification
Detection is about a state and an object, not personal data — no face recognition.
A full event trail
Every detection is logged with time and zone, ready for analysis in safety reports.
Ready for safety reports
Every detection lands in a report with time and zone — ready for safety-trend analysis and audits.

Frequently asked questions
- A pallet or box obstructing an emergency exit or escape route in the watched area. The system recognises the "blocked exit" state, not anyone's identity.
- No. Detection is about the area and objects — there is no biometric identification or face recognition.
- Yes. Detection areas are configurable, so the system watches the fire doors and escape routes you select.
- 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 the moment the exit is blocked.
- Standard industrial IP cameras watching the exit area; 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 supervisor notification.
The "Pallet blocking emergency exit" scenario detects an object obstructing an escape route. Clear emergency exits are a precondition for safe evacuation, and a parked pallet or box can appear by a door unnoticed. Automatic detection lets you restore the route quickly, before it becomes a problem in an emergency.
In the AndonCloud computer-vision pipeline, industrial cameras watch the exit area while vision servers run the SAM3 detection model with the prompt "pallet or box blocking emergency exit" at the edge. Every match becomes an event that integration gateways forward to AndonCloud and machine PLCs — as an alert, an andon signal, a dashboard entry and a line in a report.
For example, at a warehouse fire door the camera spots a parked pallet and triggers a notification for the supervisor and a line in the report. The system recognises the "blocked exit" state by watching the area and objects, not people — it performs no biometric identification or face recognition.
