Frequently Asked Questions

What PPE can Vision AI detect in cement plants?

OxMaint's Vision AI detects a comprehensive range of protective equipment including hard hats, safety glasses, goggles, respirators, hi-vis vests, gloves, safety boots, ear protection, and heat-resistant gear. The system can monitor multiple workers simultaneously across different zones, each with customized PPE requirements based on specific hazards.

Does the system work with existing CCTV cameras?

Yes. OxMaint integrates with your existing IP camera infrastructure, including VMS and NVR setups. Our team handles the integration process—you simply provide RTSP streams from your cameras. No expensive hardware upgrades or major process changes required.

How does the system handle dusty cement plant conditions?

Our AI models are specifically trained for harsh industrial environments including heavy dust, varying lighting conditions, and extreme temperatures common in cement operations. The deep learning algorithms continuously adapt to maintain 95%+ detection accuracy even in challenging visual conditions.

Can we set different PPE rules for different zones?

Absolutely. OxMaint allows full customization of PPE detection rules by zone. You can require respirators in silica-heavy areas, heat-resistant gear near kilns, hi-vis vests in vehicle zones, and hearing protection near crushers—all monitored simultaneously with zone-specific alerts and reporting.
