Headquartered in Detroit, GM operates almost400 facilities on six continents around the world.Among GM’s facilities are its many factories that build andassemble cars and trucks. In order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those who work in these factories, GM provides a variety ofpersonal protective equipment (PPE) including helmets, goggles andvests.Our Automated Workplace Safety System determines if workersare missing any of their PPE by analyzing the video from camerasstationed at factory entrances. Our system uses object detectionmodels to identify the workers and their PPE as they pass by.If a worker is determined to be missing any of their PPE, a textmessage is sent to their safety manager, and a violation incident isrecorded in a database.Safety managers use our companion web app to display statisticsand graphs of the PPE violation incidents, which can be sortedby camera, time or PPE. In addition, managers use our web app toindicate shift changes, and to add and remove cameras.Our Workplace Safety System utilizes an NVIDIA Jetson to runthe object detection models. Camera configuration with NVIDIA’sJetson is written in Python. Our web app, written in HTML, CSS,PHP and JavaScript, is connected to a MYSQL database.
