Overview

Industrial work remains among the most dangerous work there is. The International Labour Organization estimates that 330,000 people die in work accidents every year and 395 million sustain non-fatal injuries.
The cost is not only human. Research shows that the world's 500 largest companies lose around 1.4 trillion dollars a year to unplanned downtime, equivalent to 11 percent of their revenues. In heavy industry, an idle hour can cost 59 million dollars.
Most industrial organisations already know this. What they lack is visibility between inspections. Safety walkdowns, asset inspections and quality audits sample a site a handful of times a year, while the conditions that cause incidents appear in seconds. Meanwhile the average plant already has hundreds of cameras recording continuously, and almost none of that footage is watched until after something has gone wrong.
Detect Technologies was founded in February 2016 at the IIT Madras Research Park to close that gap, and to close it without asking a site to rebuild its infrastructure. Our platform runs on the existing CCTV, sensors and control systems, converting hardware a site has already paid for into continuous intelligence. Most deployments go live within days of cameras being connected. There is no rip and replace, no new camera estate, and no capital project to approve before the first detection.
Today Detect monitors over 340 industrial sites for Fortune 500 operators across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, backed by Prosus Ventures, Accel, Elevation Capital and Shell Ventures.
Our Mission

To turn industrial data into reliable, actionable intelligence on a secure and scalable platform, so operational decisions are made faster and made better.

Our Vision

An industrial world that runs safer, smarter and more efficiently, because AI watches what people cannot watch continuously.

Featured Applications

Safety Assistant (LSR)

Detect's flagship HSE suite, unifying PPE, redzone, fire, leak and intrusion detection on one platform.

PPE Compliance Detection

Flags missing helmets, gloves, and harnesses the moment they're missing, across plant CCTV.

iPTW: Intelligent Permit to Work Software

Vision-based permit compliance, pairing mobile streaming with live safety monitoring.

Confined Space Monitoring

Watches entry, occupancy and duration in confined spaces to enforce safe-entry protocol.

Security: AI Security Monitoring

Perimeter and access monitoring, weapons and intrusion detection, with a privacy layer built into every feed from day one.

One guard can't watch forty camera feeds at once. T-Pulse never blinks.

Featured Applications

Security Assistant

Comprehensive camera-based site security across the perimeter, with privacy built in.

Perimeter Intrusion Detection

Detects fence-line intrusions including climbing, digging and objects thrown over the perimeter.

Weapons Detection

Detects firearms and other weapons in live security feeds for rapid response.

Patrolling Assistant

Automated surveillance for long-spanning assets like pipelines and remote installations.

Operations & Quality: Production Monitoring and Visual Inspection

Turns the camera feed into a continuous quality and process audit, catching SOP deviations and congestion that a sampled walkthrough would miss.

A sampled audit catches a fraction of the shift. T-Pulse runs on all of it.

Featured Applications

Visual SOP Verification

Configurable visual checks that confirm a procedure is followed step by step on camera.

Crowd Flow Analytics

Maps anonymized movement and density across zones to reveal congestion and choke points.

Tool-Time Efficiency Analytics

Detects firearms and other weapons in live security feeds for rapid response.

Patrolling
Assistant

Automated surveillance for long-spanning assets like pipelines and remote installations.

Reliability & Maintenance: AI Asset Inspection and Equipment Monitoring

Visual and thermal inspection that catches wear, corrosion, and leaks in the gap between scheduled checks, before they become downtime.

The gap between inspections is where a work order turns into a failure.

Featured Applications

TA Orchestrator for Refining

Workflow and intelligence layer for plant maintenance management.

Automated Asset Inspection

Visual and thermal inspection of tanks, flares and pipe racks to flag issues before failure.

GUMPS

Digitized inspection and integrity management for plant assets.

Health Assistant

Asset-health monitoring across plant rotating and static equipment.

Turnaround & Capital Projects: Shutdown Planning and Execution Software

Scoping, planning, and live execution tracking for turnarounds and capital projects, so deviations surface the day they happen, not the day of the post-mortem.

One day over schedule can cost more than the entire planning budget.

Common questions

What is industrial workplace intelligence?

Industrial Workplace Intelligence is the use of AI, computer vision and industrial data to understand what is happening across physical workplaces and turn that intelligence into actionable insights.

It brings together information from existing CCTV, sensors, connected systems and other industrial data sources to give teams greater visibility into people, assets, processes and workplace conditions in real time.

Unlike traditional industrial monitoring, which often relies on manual inspections and disconnected systems, Industrial Workplace Intelligence continuously interprets what is happening across the workplace and helps teams identify risks, deviations and opportunities for improvement.

For industrial organizations, this can mean:

Safer workplaces: Continuously identify safety risks, compliance deviations and hazardous conditions.

Greater operational visibility: Understand what is happening across plants, projects, warehouses and other industrial environments.

Better asset and process performance: Identify conditions that can affect reliability, productivity and operational continuity.

Faster action: Turn complex workplace data into timely, actionable insights for the teams responsible for responding.

At Detect Technologies, Industrial Workplace Intelligence brings these capabilities together to help industrial organizations move from periodic inspection and reactive intervention to continuous visibility and proactive action.

Does Detect require new cameras or a hardware overhaul?

No. The platform runs on the IP cameras, video management system and sensors a site already owns, which is why most deployments go live within days of cameras being connected rather than after a capital project. It is available in cloud, on-premise and edge configurations, so sites that cannot send data off site can still run the full application set. Detect hardware is available where additional coverage is needed, but it is never a requirement to start.

Which industries does Detect Technologies serve?

Oil and gas, steel and metals, chemicals and petrochemical refineries, manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, construction, power and utilities and beyond. The common requirement is a physically hazardous site with capital-intensive assets, where a missed risk carries a high cost.

Where is Detect Technologies based, and does it work with global organizations?

Detect Technologies is headquartered in Chennai, India, with its North American hub in Houston, Texas. Customers include Fortune 500 industrial operators running multi-year contracts across multiple sites in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

How does Detect Technologies handle data security and compliance?

Detect Technologies is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and maintains a SOC 2 Type II attestation. The platform runs in cloud, on-premise or fully edge configurations, so sites where footage cannot leave the perimeter can run the complete application set without sending data off site. Privacy Assistant automatically blurs faces and identifiable features across every camera feed and is available on every Detect application, so monitoring can go live without becoming a workforce privacy negotiation. Access is role-based and every action is logged for audit.
