About Shan Foods

Shan Foods, a trusted name in the culinary industry, is renowned for its commitment to quality and safety in its products and operations. As a leader in delivering authentic flavors to millions of households worldwide, the company prioritizes maintaining the highest safety standards across its manufacturing facilities. One critical area of focus was ensuring that emergency exits remained accessible at all times. Blocked emergency exits posed a significant risk to employee safety, compliance with regulations, and the overall efficiency of the factory’s operations.

To address these challenges, Shan Foods collaborated with The Disrupt Labs to implement an innovative AI-powered Emergency Exit Monitoring System. This system was designed to detect real-time blockages, send instant alerts to supervisors, and provide actionable data to improve safety processes. The collaboration not only enhanced workplace safety but also helped Shan Foods strengthen its commitment to creating a secure environment for its workforce.

The Challenge

Emergency exit accessibility is crucial in any manufacturing facility, especially in a fast-paced environment like

01.

Blocked Emergency Exit

  • High-paced operations often resulted in emergency exits being obstructed by equipment, storage items, or misplaced materials, creating serious safety hazards.

02.

Inefficient Manual Checks

Traditional manual monitoring methods were time-consuming and unreliable, leading to delays in identifying and clearing blockages.

03.

Increased Evacuation Risks

  • Blocked exits are a significant challenge during emergencies, potentially delaying evacuations and putting employee safety at risk.

Real-Time Monitoring

AI models integrated with CCTV cameras were used to continuously track emergency exits for obstructions caused by equipment, boxes, or unauthorized personnel. When an object was detected, the area it occupied was calculated by the system. If the object covered more than 30% of the pathway, a timer was triggered to monitor how long the obstruction remained. This process ensured that blockages were identified and monitored for timely resolution, enhancing overall safety and compliance.

Housekeeping compliance

Automated Alerts

Real-time notifications were sent to supervisors via email whenever blockages were detected. These alerts included the exact location and severity of the blockage to enable immediate action.
