Redefining Safety in Light of Human-Machine Interaction

About Mantis

Mantis was developed to eradicate unjustifiable accidents in logistics, transportation, agriculture and manufacturing and others. Leveraging Vision AI and machine learning, Mantis realtime detection of pedestrians and obstacles can be used to warn drivers, control vehicles and avoid an imminent danger of collision.

Why Mantis

Pedestrian collisions shouldn’t be accepted as inevitable because they are, in fact, both predictable and preventable. As current solutions are error-prone and inadequate with performance typically deteriorating due to various environmental scenarios and lighting conditions, Mantis was developed and successfully benchmarked against peer products in the market.

Unique Edge

Whether mounted on forklifts or mobile machineries, installed as part of factories infrastructures or deployed on train-stations platforms, Mantis works to minimize the risk for potential accidents by detecting and predicting collisions before they happen. With Mantis, there are no more false alarms, no room for errors and no more excuses for fatal accidents.

Mantis for Industrial Facilities

Powered by AI that leverages 2D and 3D data, Mantis provides two unique and distinct but complementary approaches to enhancing safety in indsurial facilities

Mantis IV : VEHICLE-BASED COLLISION AVOIDANCE

SOLUTION HILIGHTS

A unique state-of-the-art solution bundle that leverages AI deep-learning and AI-accelerated GPU for accurate detection, classification and localization of pedestrians and other objects.

Mountable on industrial machineries, it’s composed of an ICU (Industrial Computing Unit), stereovision 3D camera and an industrial monitor, all designed for harsh environments of extreme conditions.

Realtime detection and localization of pedestrians is provided through a visual display and an audio alert warning the driver of nearby workers in the dangerous zone

CHALLENGES ADDRESSED WITH MANTIS

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) STATISTICS:

  1.  Around 90 workers are killed, and around 20,000 are injured in industrial vehicles accidents each year.
  2. The average direct cost to a company is $38,000 and $150,000 in indirect costs.
  3. An OSHA fine costs up to $7,000 for “minor” infractions, up to $70K for repeat offenders.
  4. Forklifts are amongst the top 10 areas in which OSHA issues citations

Mantis IX : INFRASTRUCTURE-BASED COLLISION AVOIDANCE

SOLUTION HILIGHTS

Mantis-IX (for Infrastructure) combines collision risk analytics and prediction to ensure safety and efficiency through a proactive approach that allows for preventive, and preemptive measures to be taken in advance, minimizing thereby the risk of accidents and optimizing system performance.

By analyzing movement data, such as object velocities, trajectories, and environmental factors, collision risk can be quantified, predicted and prevented.

Furthermore, Mantis IX provides a comprehensive view of the environment and a contextualized understanding of the likelihood of potential accidents based on previous near-miss patterns and other extracted data. Moreover, with micro-locations intelligence, operators can identify blind spots scenarios previously unknown.
