RoboK SiteLens Features: What It Detects and What You Get

What does RoboK SiteLens detect?

People and vehicles

• People close to moving vehicles, including forklift and pedestrian near misses
• People in vehicle routes and outside marked walkways
• Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-plant near misses

Zones and rules

• Entries to restricted or exclusion zones that you define, such as under a crane, a lashing area or a loading bay edge
• Unsafe driving
• Vehicles over a set speed limit in an area

People at risk

• PPE: high-visibility clothing, and hard hats, gloves or harnesses where the site sets them up
• People working at height, for example on trailers and loads

Each detection is set up per camera and per zone, for the rules your site actually has. A camera can watch for several of these at once.

What do you get for each event?

• The time, the zone and the clip. Every event is timestamped and categorised, with the footage that shows what happened. A record, rather than someone's memory of it.
• A risk level. Each event is labelled high, medium or low, so the team can review the serious ones first.
• A timeline to look back on. Find what happened at a given place and time when you are investigating, or when someone raises a concern.
• Review in bulk. Go through a shift's events quickly and keep the ones that matter.

What reporting is there?

• Hotspots by zone and time of day. See which crossings, docks and zones need attention, and when: the hour, the shift, the day.

• Events by type. How often each kind of event happens, and whether it is rising or falling.

• Before and after. Watch the same area after a new control goes in, such as a barrier, a crossing or a new route, and see whether behaviour changed.

• Material for briefings. Real clips from your own site for toolbox talks and shift briefings, and summaries for management review.

• Regular reports by email to the people who need them.

What cameras does it need?

Usually your existing CCTV. RoboK SiteLens runs on the cameras a site already has, where their position and image quality are good enough. We assess each camera first and tell you which ones can be relied on. Where a zone has no usable camera, we can supply one.

How does it start?

Most sites start with Safety Mapping, a free two-week trial on one camera over the area you worry about most. The camera can be ours, on its own 4G with no access to your network, or one of yours once access is agreed (we check the camera's view first, and if it doesn't show the area clearly, we start on ours). After two weeks you get a written report and a review call, and decide whether to continue.

On a site's own cameras, RoboK SiteLens typically takes one to two weeks from camera access to the first events, including assessment, configuration and training.

How is data handled?

• Processed and stored in the UK.
• Footage kept for 30 days as standard, and clips flagged as hazards for the length of your subscription. Both can be changed in your contract.
• Faces blurred on request. Areas you don't need to monitor can be masked, set up per site.
• Access limited to named user accounts.
• RoboK is Cyber Essentials certified. Data-handling documents and a DPA are available on request.

What it does not do

Being clear about this saves everyone time.

• It does not warn drivers in the cab. RoboK SiteLens records events for the team to review and act on. It is not an in-cab proximity alarm.
• It is not for monitoring individual performance. Events are about zones, controls and what happens on site, not about scoring people.
• It only sees what the cameras see. Areas with no camera coverage, poor light or a blocked view need other checks, and we say so when we assess the cameras.

Common questions

What is RoboK SiteLens? Workplace safety monitoring software. It connects to the CCTV a site already has and uses computer vision to record near misses, people in vehicle routes, restricted-zone entries, PPE, people working at height, and vehicles over a set speed limit, and reports them by zone and time of day.

Does RoboK SiteLens need new cameras? Usually not. It runs on existing CCTV where camera position and image quality are good enough, and we assess each camera first. Where a zone has no usable camera, we can supply one.

Can RoboK SiteLens detect forklift and pedestrian near misses? Yes. It records people close to moving vehicles, including forklifts, with the time, the zone and the clip. Over weeks, that shows where and when near misses happen, including the ones nobody reported.

Does RoboK SiteLens alert the driver? No. It records events for the safety or operations team to review and act on. It is not an in-cab proximity warning system.

Where is RoboK SiteLens data stored? In the UK. Footage is kept for 30 days as standard and hazard clips for the length of the subscription. Faces can be blurred on request and access is limited to named user accounts.

How do we try RoboK SiteLens? Through Safety Mapping: a free two-week trial on one camera over your highest-risk area, with a written report and a review call at the end.
