Safety isn't just a priority—it's a commitment. Dow, a beacon of innovation, stands resolute in its quest for zero safety-related incidents. With a steadfast focus on technology and innovation, Dow's Digital Operations Center pioneered a groundbreaking solution to propel safety to new heights.
The challenge was clear: How could Dow detect possible containment leaks in its production environment, enabling swift response and averting potential hazards? The answer lay in the synergy of two transformative technologies—Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT)—powered by Microsoft Azure.
Azure became Dow's canvas for innovation. The Digital Operations Center crafted an AI and IoT solution that harnessed the capabilities of Azure Video Analyzer, Azure DevOps, and machine learning. The result? A low-latency, flexible, and scalable solution that could detect possible leaks with remarkable accuracy.
Imagine a scenario where AI watches over the production environment, analyzing live video streams with precision. At the hint of a possible leak, alerts are triggered, enabling immediate operator intervention. This dynamic duo of AI and IoT creates a safety net that not only prevents incidents but also instills a sense of security among the workforce.
Dow's innovation didn't stop at containment leak detection. The solution's adaptability allowed for expansion into other computer vision scenarios. Imagine AI detecting if employees are wearing proper personal protective equipment (PPE) or enhancing security monitoring in industrial settings. The possibilities are vast, and the commitment to safety remains unwavering.
