With the immense promise of AI, the technology is gaining adoption across several industries. The use-case for ensuring industrial safety is also a great candidate for AI based solutions. AI models can be trained to optimize operations as well as to detect potential incidents or threats arising from poor conditions or equipment degradation. With AI, enterprises can not only respond to events in real-time but also prevent them from happening in the first place. For example, AI algorithms, when implemented in the mining industry, can monitor ambient conditions (hazardous gases, proximity to hazmat, health of equipment) and proactively detect the chances of hazards and take preventive action.
