INDUSTRIES / CHEMICALS
Real-time visibility for chemical plant operations
Chemical plant operations run with high-risk work happening across confined spaces, hot-work zones, loading racks, vessels, and contractor-heavy turnarounds. Intenseye helps safety teams detect serious-injury risks in real time before they become incidents, stoppages, or process-safety concerns.

AI SAFETY FOR CHEMICALS
Why chemical plants are hard to keep safe.
Detect
50+ high-energy hazards, the instant they appear.
Warn & stop
A voice warning, or a machine stop in ~0.8s.
Prove
Leading indicators that show risk falling.
Confined spaces, hot work in flammable atmospheres, energy isolation during turnarounds, contractor surges, and chemical-exposure PPE - in an industry where the worst events are catastrophic.
Intenseye uses computer vision on the cameras you already run to detect the unsafe acts and conditions that cause SIFs, in real time. It complements your gas detection and PSM instrumentation - it doesn't replace them.

We act on the leading signal, the unsafe act, the moment it happens – not the lagging injury report that only counts people after they're hurt.

50+ detections, organized the way PSM and EHS teams think - from confined spaces to hot work to the loading rack. Pick a scenario to see what Intenseye watches, and why each one matters on a real floor.

THE DIFFERENTIATORMost safety AI just watches.
Most safety AI just watches.
Intenseye steps in.
A worker reaches into a running conveyor. Same hazard, same instant - but observation only logs the risk. Intervention prevents the injury.
Observe-only AIJust watches
Steps inThe moment
Reach-in at a running conveyor logged “for review.”
Reach-in detected in real time - response starts instantly.
Worker warned
No warning reaches the floor.
Sentinel Speaker calls the hazard out - the worker pulls back.
Machine response
The machine keeps running - nothing is halted.
Hard Stop halts the machine in ~0.8s - before contact.
Follow-up
The hazard stays open until someone reviews it.
A corrective action is created, owned, and tracked to done.
Outcome
Stops at a notification.
Prevents the injury.

RECOMMENDED FOR THIS ENVIRONMENT
Hardware coverage for chemical plant risk zones.
Intenseye runs on the CCTV you already own. Where a standard camera can't see - at a hot-work zone, a confined-space portal, a loading rack - purpose-built Sentinel devices fill the gap. Chemicals needs thermal coverage first, with wide-area coverage close behind. Classified or hazardous areas use appropriately rated, qualified cameras.

01The challenge
Across global sites, Henkel needed to see and act on unsafe acts in real time — and drive its potential-SIF and vehicle–pedestrian risk toward zero.
The goal
Zero
Potential-SIF & vehicle–pedestrian risk — the target Henkel set
02What Intenseye did
Intenseye went live on the cameras already on site, detecting unsafe acts and conditions in real time — a program that won the Henkel Global Supply Chain Award. At one loading dock, restricted-area entries fell from 470 to 19 alerts/camera in four months.
451 fewer alerts per camera
03The outcome
Total incident rate fell from 3.3 to zero, with 100% of potential SIF risks eliminated, 60% fewer vehicle–pedestrian interactions — and zero lost-time incidents.

REGULATORY & COMPLIANCE
Built around the standards your plant already answers to.
Intenseye's detections map to the standards that drive process-safety risk in chemicals - a real-time, leading-indicator layer that complements PSM instrumentation and gas detection, never replaces them.

FAQ
Your questions, answered.
Built for EHS and operations leaders. Still have a question?
Does it work with our plant cameras, including classified areas?
Yes - about 90% of IP cameras across 200+ brands, out of the box. In classified / hazardous (Ex) areas, Intenseye runs on appropriately rated cameras - we don't claim our hardware is Ex-rated unless verified.
How does it prevent a confined-space incident?
It detects entry to a permit space, occupancy over the limit, and attendant gaps in real time - and alerts before an unauthorized or unsafe entry becomes an incident.
Can it detect fire or overheating?
Yes - Sentinel Thermal sees heat, overheating equipment, and early-stage fire. It does not detect gas and does not replace your gas detection or process-safety instrumentation - it complements them.
Does it help during turnarounds and with contractors?
Yes - it flags entry to un-isolated equipment and contractors in restricted zones 24/7, giving stronger oversight exactly when a surge of contractors hits the highest-risk work.
Do you use facial recognition?
No. Everything is processed on-site, anonymized, with no facial recognition or biometric identification - SOC 2 Type II.
How fast do results show?
Most plants see measurable risk reduction in under six months - fewer confined-space, hot-work, and LOTO exposures, and an audit-ready leading-indicator record.
