# RoboK — Full Reference

> RoboK is a University of Cambridge AI spinout (founded 2017) that transforms existing CCTV cameras into workplace safety monitoring systems using computer vision. Its platform, SiteLens®, automatically detects hazards, monitors PPE compliance, identifies near misses, and generates safety KPI reports for industrial sites — with no new hardware required.

## What RoboK Does

RoboK helps health and safety managers at ports, logistics hubs, manufacturing plants, and industrial sites move from reactive incident reporting to proactive safety monitoring. Its AI analyses existing CCTV footage 24/7 to detect unsafe behaviours, track leading safety indicators, and generate compliance reports automatically. RoboK turns cameras a site already owns into a source of structured safety and operations data.

## Product: SiteLens®

SiteLens® is an AI-powered workplace safety monitoring platform that connects to existing CCTV infrastructure and analyses video feeds in real time using computer vision.

Capabilities:
- Automated hazard detection and near miss identification
- PPE compliance monitoring (hard hats, hi-vis, safety footwear)
- Pedestrian and vehicle interaction alerts
- Exclusion zone breach detection
- Operational anomaly detection
- Safety KPI dashboards and trend reporting
- Leading safety indicators (predictive), not just lagging incident data
- Works with existing CCTV cameras — no new hardware needed
- UK-based data processing, fully GDPR compliant

How it works:
1. Review Safety Data — Supervisors review AI-generated safety reports with hazard counts, risk breakdowns, and trend analysis.
2. Brief Your Team — Data-driven insights inform targeted safety briefings.
3. Safe Operations — Continuous monitoring and improvement using leading indicators.

Reporting: Track daily hazard counts, risk breakdowns by category, trend analysis over time, and compare safety performance across sites.

## Key Outcomes

- 90% reduction in safety hazards observed across customers after deploying SiteLens® on-site
- 24/7 always-on monitoring — continuous coverage across every shift, with no gaps or blind spots
- 100% visibility across sites — structured safety data from every camera and zone already captured
- Zero reliance on self-reporting — every incident captured automatically
- Live in 1–2 weeks from first conversation to deployment

## The Shift: Reactive vs. Proactive

Traditional, manual approach:
- Incidents surface only after someone reports them
- Near misses go unrecorded and unlearned
- Hours of footage reviewed by hand, if at all
- No hard data to prove what's working

With SiteLens® (automatic):
- Every hazard detected and logged 24/7
- Near misses captured as leading indicators
- AI reviews every camera, every minute
- KPI dashboards prove policy effectiveness

## Deployment

RoboK offers a white-glove service. Most organisations already have cameras on-site, and SiteLens® plugs into them. If a site has no cameras, RoboK installs and configures the full setup. Either way, the journey from first conversation to live safety insights typically takes 1–2 weeks:
1. Site Assessment — engineers assess the facility and recommend optimal camera placement.
2. Install & Configure — hardware setup, network configuration, and platform integration, with zero disruption to operations.
3. Go Live — staff training and live safety insights.
