HARD STOP

Stop the machine - as soon as you see the risk.

Hard Stop turns a detected hazard into an automatic machine stop. Instead of only alerting the team after a risk appears, it connects Intenseye to the controls that can stop equipment while there is still time to prevent contact.

WHY IT MATTERS

Safety that acts, not just observes.

Unlike most safety solutions, Hard Stop turns a detected hazard into an automatic machine stop to prevent an incident from happening.

01

Stops at the control layer

Configured detections can send a stop signal directly through Sentinel Control to the machine PLC.

02

Works with your controls

Integrates with modern and legacy PLC environments, without replacing the controls you already run.

03

Runs on site

Detection, decisioning, and stop signal happen at the edge, without waiting on a cloud round trip.

THE HARDEST PROBLEM WE SOLVE

When a light curtain isn't enough.

Some reach-in risks are too specific for standard guarding alone. The line still has to run, the task still has to happen, and a hand can never enter the danger point. Our engineers map the motion on site, tune Sentinel Depth to the task, and connect the stop logic to the machine controls.

HARD STOP

It knows a hand from a stick.

Our engineers build a 3D danger plane around the machine and tune it to recognize what crosses it - so the line stops for a person reaching in, not for the product moving through.

SENTINEL CONTROL

The bridge from detection to a stopped machine.

Sentinel Control is the hard-stop machine relay that connects Intenseye's AI to your industrial controls. When Prevent flags a critical event, Sentinel Control signals the machine's PLC to stop - modern or legacy, fail-safe, on-site. It's the last link between "seen" and "stopped."

1. DETECT

Prevent flags the critical event.

A hand in the danger plane, a person in a live zone - Core sees it the moment it happens.

2. DECIDE

Hub Pro validates it on-site.

Severity is scored at the edge - no cloud round-trip between the hazard and the response.

3. SIGNAL

Sentinel Control fires the stop to the machine's PLC.

The hard-stop relay connects Intenseye's AI to your industrial controls - modern or legacy PLCs, fail-safe by design.

4. STOP

The machine stops. The team is alerted.

About 0.8 seconds from detection to a stopped machine - and the event is logged for follow-up.

THE ARCHITECTURE · ON THE FLOOR

From hazard to stopped, in 0.8s.

The same loop, on a real line: Core watches the zone, Hub Pro validates on-site, Sentinel Control fires the stop to the conveyor and robot PLCs - and the line halts.

WHERE IT MATTERS

Built for reach-in machine hazards.

Wherever a hand can reach a moving part, Hard Stop adds a real-time layer that stops the machine the moment the danger plane is crossed.

ONE CONNECTED PLATFORM

Hard Stop stops it. The platform prevents the next one.

The stop is one move of the platform - every product reads from the same events, so the detection, the stop, and the corrective action all agree.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Built for EHS and operations leaders. Still have a question?
Talk to our team →

How fast does Hard Stop stop a machine?
About 0.8 seconds from detection to a stopped machine.
Does it work with our existing PLCs?
Yes - modern and legacy PLCs, through Sentinel Control. No rip-and-replace of your controls.
Does it replace our machine guarding?
No - it adds a real-time, AI-triggered layer that detects the hazard and stops the machine. It complements your required physical safeguarding, it doesn't replace it.
What machines is it for?
Machine guarding - winders, slitters, presses, robotic cells, conveyors, in-running nips.
Do you use facial recognition?
No - workers are anonymized; no facial recognition.
