Overview
Executive Summary
A precision manufacturing group faced rising insurance premiums and compliance gaps with manual safety inspections missing 8% of PPE violations. Maxwell deployed a computer vision platform with custom YOLO models, edge inference, and automated compliance reporting—achieving 99.2% detection accuracy and 75% incident reduction in 6 months.
Client Profile
Leading manufacturing organization
Precision manufacturing company extending ERP partnership to deploy AI safety monitoring on 2 high-risk production lines.
- Size
- 2 production lines · 120 workers
- Sector
- Industrial Manufacturing
Initial Situation
Where they started
Manual safety inspections missed 8% of PPE violations and hazardous conditions. Incident investigations relied on witness accounts with no visual evidence. Compliance audits required weeks of documentation compilation.
Before
- Manual safety inspection rounds
- 8% PPE violation miss rate
- Weeks to compile audit reports
- Witness-only incident evidence
After
- 24/7 AI vision monitoring
- 99.2% detection accuracy
- Automated compliance reports
- Video evidence for every alert
Strategy
Challenges & Project Goals
What blocked progress before delivery — and what leadership signed off to achieve.
Key challenges
- 8% PPE violation miss rate with manual inspection rounds
- No visual evidence for incident investigations
- Weeks of manual work compiling compliance audit documentation
