Powered by i3’s Compliance and Safety Management (CSM) platform, our AI monitors critical zones in real time to protect lives, ensure compliance, and streamline safety operations.
Blocked emergency exits are more than just compliance violations: they are life-threatening hazards that can trap personnel and customers during fires, critical incidents, or medical emergencies. Blocked walk-in freezer exits can trap employees in dangerous cold conditions, while obstructed emergency doors, or blocked electrical panels can turn critical moments into life-threatening situations. Yet traditional safety relies on periodic manual inspections that inevitably miss violations between checks. Beyond the safety concerns, regulatory consequences are severe: a single OSHA violation can result in fines ranging from $10,000 to $165,000 in the United States, with Canadian penalties reaching $2,000,000 for a corporation violation—devastating budgets and reputations across multiple locations.
i3Ai obstruction detection is an Ai-powered safety and compliance monitoring platform that analyzes emergency exits, walk-in freezer doors, and electrical panels across all locations 24/7—sending customizable alerts to designated roles (management, supervisors, etc.) when obstructions are detected so you can protect lives and prevent violations before tragedy strikes or regulators arrive.
Periodic inspections leave dangerous gaps in compliance. i3Ai obstruction detection ensures intelligent monitoring and immediate alerts to maintain a safe, obstruction-free environment.
Using your existing camera infrastructure, i3Ai captures footage from designated emergency exits, walk-in freezer doors, fire extinguisher locations, and electrical panels across all locations. These images can be analyzed using your on-prem Ai-enabled system or automatically uploaded to the i3Ai Cloud Data Center where our advanced Ai algorithm monitors your facility for safety violations: detecting obstructions, blocked pathways, or improperly stored materials that could trap personnel during emergencies or violate OSHA regulations.
Ai-powered analysis identifies when emergency exits are blocked by merchandise, pallets, equipment, or other obstructions that prevent safe egress during fires, medical emergencies, or active threats. The system can be used to monitor walk-in freezer exits for blockages that could trap employees in life-threatening cold exposure, and electrical panels for code violations like blocked access or improper storage within required clearance zones—catching life safety issues that periodic inspections might miss.
The moment a blocked exit, obstructed freezer door, or electrical panel violation is detected, i3Ai can send out an immediate app push notification, SMS or an email to the designated safety managers with photographic evidence showing the detected hazard. Managers can instantly review the life-threatening issue, dispatch urgent corrective action, and verify safety restoration—preventing potential tragedies without physically visiting the location.
Every monitored frame is timestamped and stored, creating complete audit trails that document your proactive safety and compliance efforts. When regulators conduct inspections or when investigating incidents, you have definitive proof of uninterrupted monitoring and rapid issue resolution—demonstrating due diligence that protects lives while mitigating penalties or preventing violations from escalating into citations.
