AI-Driven Conveyor Protection & Operational Intelligence for Industry 5.0

AI-Driven Conveyor Protection & Operational Intelligence for Industry 5.0

Overview

Conveyor belts vary widely across industries—from compact, high-speed packaging conveyors to massive automobile assembly line conveyors stretching hundreds of meters. Despite their differences, all conveyors share one critical requirement: continuous monitoring and instant response to prevent injuries, blockages, and quality issues. Flagman's AI-Powered Conveyor Belt Safety System brings Industry 5.0 intelligence to this entire spectrum. Using synchronized AI cameras, the system protects operators from entrapment hazards, enhances production visibility, and automates quality control across both small conveyors and large-scale automotive assembly conveyors. Whether it's a small material transfer belt or a full vehicle chassis conveyor, Flagman ensures uninterrupted monitoring, intelligent response, and operational excellence.

The Challenge

Conveyors present unique risks due to long-distance material movement, high-speed processing, workers interacting near moving rollers, multi-shift operations, and complex layouts from small conveyors to expansive automotive lines. Key limitations include:

Key Challenges

  • Manual supervisors cannot oversee all conveyor sections
  • Entrapment can occur in milliseconds
  • Pull-cord emergency stops may be out of reach
  • Large assembly conveyors span multiple floors & zones
  • QC teams struggle to inspect every item in high-speed systems
  • Small conveyors are often ignored but pose equal risks

Flagman Solution

Flagman continuously monitors human intrusion near rollers, pinch points, transfer stations, material flow, product counting, defects, and safety zones across all conveyor types. When danger or deviation is detected, Flagman activates audio-visual alerts, sends PLC/relay signals to stop or slow the conveyor, notifies supervisors instantly, logs the event with evidence, and supports automated QC workflows. Flagman enables safer, smarter conveyor operations—no matter the scale.

Key Features

  • Human intrusion and entrapment detection near rollers and pinch points
  • Emergency stop integration with PLCs and conveyor motor controllers
  • Counting, verification, and line balancing for production tracking
  • Defect detection and quality inspection without slowing the line
  • Multi-zone, multi-line monitoring with independent logic per zone
  • Centralized dashboard with safety, QC, and performance analytics
