Manufacturing AI Solutions

Your plant already has cameras on every bay. NGSPURS turns that footage into a continuous read on safety, process compliance and unplanned downtime — so the first person to know about a problem is the supervisor on the floor, not the auditor next month.

  • Works with existing CCTV
  • Edge or on-prem
  • Sub-second alerts
  • Shift-wise audit trail

The problem

What your current process cannot see

Cameras are everywhere. Attention is not. Every hour nobody is watching is an hour your risk goes unrecorded.

An audit is a snapshot, not a signal

A safety walk covers a fraction of the floor for a fraction of the shift. Everything that happens in between is invisible to the record.

0%of shift hours go unobserved

Compliance decays after the walk-through

Helmets come off, guards get bypassed and shortcuts return once the clipboard leaves the bay. The behaviour you measured is not the behaviour you have.

0 in 5violations occur off-audit

Downtime is explained only after it is paid for

By the time a stoppage is traced to a cause, the shift is over, the line has moved on and the evidence is gone.

0 hrsaverage lag to root cause

Near-misses never reach the report

Nobody files paperwork for the forklift that stopped in time. So the pattern that predicts the real injury never appears in your data.

0xnear-misses per logged incident

Let the cameras watch what people cannot.

Try a different approach

Same cameras. Different outcome.

The infrastructure does not change. What changes is whether anything is watching it, and whether what it sees reaches the person who can act.

Without NGSPURSManufacturing
  • One supervisor watching a wall of six or more screens
  • PPE compliance sampled on a paper checklist
  • Stoppage root cause reconstructed days later
  • Near-misses depend on someone choosing to report them
  • Safety numbers live in a spreadsheet nobody trusts
With NGSPURSManufacturing
  • Every camera watched continuously, every shift
  • PPE and zone compliance scored automatically per bay
  • Stoppage flagged with the clip attached, same shift
  • Near-misses captured whether or not anyone files them
  • One dashboard across every line and every plant
What it detects

Built for manufacturing conditions

Detection models tuned for a plant floor — bright light, dust, motion and partial occlusion — not a lab.

PPE and helmet compliance

Helmet, vest, glove, goggle and mask checks scored per person, per zone, with the clip attached to every exception.

Machine guard and restricted zones

Virtual boundaries around presses, robot cells and guarded openings. Entry during a live cycle raises an alert and can trigger a stop.

Forklift and pedestrian conflict

Track vehicle and foot traffic through shared aisles and flag the crossings that keep repeating at the same junction.

Line stoppage and idle time

Detect when a station goes quiet, how long for and what preceded it — so downtime arrives with its own context.

Fire, smoke and spark detection

Early warning on flame, smoke and abnormal heat signatures in welding, painting and storage areas.

Housekeeping and spill detection

Blocked walkways, obstructed exits, fallen stock and floor spills flagged before they become the incident report.

How it works

Detect. Understand. Act.

An alert on its own is noise. The value is in what happens between the event and the fix — and that is the part most systems leave to you.

01 Detect

A helmet comes off in the press shop

14:06, Bay 4. An operator lifts his helmet to wipe his face and keeps it off for three minutes while the press is live. The event is logged the moment it happens, with the clip, the zone and the shift attached. Nobody had to be standing there.

02 Understand

It is the eleventh time this month, all after 14:00

The events cluster in the same bay in the same two hours of the afternoon shift, on the two hottest days of the week. That is not a discipline problem. It is a ventilation problem wearing a discipline costume.

03 Act

Two controls, live before the next shift

A spot cooler in Bay 4 and a rotation change for the 14:00 window, both drafted from the pattern and assigned to the shift lead. The compliance curve is back above target inside a week, and the plant has the evidence to prove it.

Who it's for

One deployment, three different jobs

The same data, presented for the decision each role actually has to make. Nobody should have to read a safety dashboard to find a maintenance answer.

Plant heads

Downtime and safety on one screen

  • Line-wise uptime with the stoppage clip attached
  • Cross-plant comparison on the same metrics
  • Board-ready monthly pack generated automatically
  • Escalation only when a threshold is actually breached

EHS and safety leads

Evidence instead of anecdote

  • Every violation carries video, zone and timestamp
  • Near-miss capture without a reporting form
  • Repeat-offender zones ranked by frequency
  • Toolbox-talk content driven by last week's data

Maintenance and process

The context behind the stoppage

  • Idle-time heatmap by station and shift
  • Guard-bypass and abnormal-cycle flags
  • Work orders raised straight from an event
  • Asset history that includes what the camera saw
Ask the team

The questions we actually get asked

What manufacturing teams want to know before they commit to a pilot.

No. NGSPURS runs on top of the IP and CCTV infrastructure you already have, through your existing VMS or NVR. We only recommend new hardware where a bay has no coverage at all, or where a specific model needs a viewing angle you do not currently have.

Together, let’s shape

The future of operational AI
