Challenge:

The client, a major offshore marine operator, faced significant challenges in maintaining high safety standards due to the limitations of traditional manual Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) practices. These conventional systems often fell short in providing real-time responses to safety violations and emergencies, creating a gap in effective monitoring and oversight. Operating in high-risk environments, the client required a technological solution that could offer real-time, proactive safety monitoring and intervention. This solution needed to ensure compliance with safety standards, improve response times to emergencies, and ultimately safeguard both lives and assets on marine vessels.

Solution:

Radiant Digital developed and deployed an AI-powered system designed to monitor and enforce HSE compliance in real time. The solution utilizes advanced technologies to identify and mitigate non-compliance and potential risks on marine vessels, enhancing overall safety and operational efficiency.

Technologies Used:

  1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML):o Computer Vision: Monitors safety gear compliance and detects emergencies in real-time.

    o YOLO & SSD: Real-time object detection for PPE usage and personnel tracking.

  2. Video Analytics:o Processes live video feeds to identify HSE violations and generate safety insights.
  3. Edge Computing:o Provides low-latency data processing for immediate HSE interventions.
  4. Cloud Computing:o Scales AI model training and data processing for continuous improvement.
  5. High-Definition (HD) Cameras & Video Management Systems (VMS):o Captures and manages high-quality video for comprehensive HSE monitoring.

Outcomes:

1. Enhanced Safety: The implementation of AI systems has significantly improved safety measures, enabling prompt responses to emergencies such as man overboard incidents or chemical spills, thereby saving lives.

2. Improved Oversight: By automating HSE oversight, the AI systems allow supervisors to concentrate on critical tasks, while routine monitoring is efficiently managed by the technology.

3. Data-Driven Insights: The AI systems automatically generate HSE analytics, leading to improved safety practices and a reduction in human error.

4. Operational Efficiency: The automation of time-consuming oversight tasks reduces stress on the workforce, allowing them to focus more on critical operations, thereby increasing overall efficiency.

Conclusion:

By integrating AI into offshore marine operations, Radiant Digital has significantly enhanced safety and compliance, reduced operational risks, and fostered a culture of proactive safety management. This AI-driven approach not only improves real-time monitoring and response but also provides valuable data insights to continuously refine safety practices.
