About Detect Technologies

Industrial Workplace Intelligence for Industries That Cannot Miss a Risk

Detect Technologies turns the cameras and sensors an industrial site already has into continuous intelligence across safety, security, operations, asset reliability and turnarounds. No hardware overhaul required.

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.

One industrial Workplace Intelligence Platform for Everything a Site Runs On

Five ways T-Pulse watches your site, running on the cameras and sensors already installed. Pick one to start, or scroll through all five below.

Safety: AI Workplace Safety Software

The core of T-Pulse. Continuous monitoring for PPE, redzone violations, fire, leaks, and permit compliance, built around your specific Life Saving Rules.

Most near-misses are found on the next walkthrough, not in the moment they happen.

Featured Applications

Safety Assistant (Life Saving Rules)

Detect's flagship HSE suite, unifying PPE, redzone, fire, leak & intrusion detection.

PPE Compliance Detection

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

Intelligent Permit to Work Software (iPTW)

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.
See How it Works
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 & 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.
See How it Works
Featured Applications

Turnaround 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.

Guided Ultrasonic Monitoring of Pipe Systems

Digitized inspection and integrity management for plant assets.

Health Assistant

Asset-health monitoring across plant rotating and static equipment.

Turnaround & Capital Projects: Shutdown Planning & 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.
See How it Works
Featured Applications

Turnaround Orchestrator for Refining

End-to-end turnaround platform covering scoping, work packages, planning, risk and execution.

Planning Agent

Autonomous turnaround planning and schedule generation.

Transport Management System

Manages and tracks plant and project logistics movements across the site.

Visual Milestone Monitoring

Tracks construction and capital-project milestones automatically from site imagery.
