Site entry
Arrange safety induction, staff records and gate passes before the installation team arrives.
Commando360 for Manufacturing
Security and safety on the factory floor
Connect PPE checks, restricted entrances, contractor visits and vehicle movements. Help supervisors review exceptions, assign action and track the response.
Forklift crossing
25+ years in physical security
Commando Security Group, our sister company, has more than 25 years of physical security experience.
Plan for your site
Safe installation
Confirm PPE, work-at-height permits and authorised power connections with the site team.
IT access
Agree device access, IP requests and discovery scans with IT. Use authorised accounts and follow site notification rules.
How does Commando360 support manufacturing operations?
Commando360 links camera alerts with workforce, access and vehicle records. Plant teams can review PPE, forklift proximity and restricted entry, then assign corrective action. Visitor passes connect approved visits with the host, work areas and entry record.
Cover the floor, entrances and loading bays
Connect each event to the supervisor or team responsible for it.
- Production floor: Check PPE, forklift approaches and machine-zone entry.
- Entrances: Verify staff and visitors, and check restricted-door access.
- Gates and loading: Check vehicles, clear routes and measure bay delays.
Check PPE at production entrances
Check visible personal protective equipment (PPE), including helmets and high-visibility clothing, at selected entrances. Supervisors review exceptions against the task requirements.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Task-specific model and a clear view of the required items.
Response owner: Shift supervisor
Measure: Confirmed PPE exceptions
Record: Checkpoint image, required PPE set, reviewer, and recorded correction.
Workflow: Observe → Check requirement → Review → Record
Detect people close to forklifts
Flag close approaches between pedestrians and forklifts. Safety staff review the clip and use confirmed near misses to improve crossings, segregation or marshal coverage.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Calibrated camera view and a suitable tracking model.
Response owner: EHS supervisor
Measure: Reviewed proximity events by crossing
Record: Vehicle and pedestrian paths, location, review outcome, and corrective action.
Workflow: Track paths → Flag proximity → Review clip → Assign action
Detect entry into machine zones
Flag people entering marked exclusion zones during operating periods. Send the event to the supervisor for action alongside the machine’s engineered safeguards.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Defined boundaries, machine-state linkage, and engineered safeguards.
Response owner: Production supervisor
Measure: Confirmed exclusion-zone entries
Record: Boundary crossing, operating context, supporting clip, and response.
Workflow: Define zone → Detect entry → Verify state → Respond
Verify staff at plant entrances
Compare arriving staff with the enrolled roster. Guards review uncertain matches and check zone permissions, with manual verification available for exceptions.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Approved enrolment, suitable image quality, and manual fallback.
Response owner: Entry security team
Measure: Unresolved identity exceptions
Record: Candidate match, verification outcome, zone permission, and entry time.
Workflow: Match roster → Review identity → Check permission → Record
Detect tailgating at restricted doors
Compare passages through tool-store and maintenance-room doors with access events. Security reviews mismatches against the clip and current permissions.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Access-control events and a suitable door view.
Response owner: Security supervisor
Measure: Confirmed entry mismatches
Record: Door event, passage count, authorisation reference, and guard review.
Workflow: Count passage → Compare access → Review → Resolve
Issue visitor passes from government ID
Verify a government-issued ID and issue a QR pass linked to the host, work areas and visiting hours. Confirm work approval before entry.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Supported ID verification, host approval, and current work-area permissions.
Response owner: Contractor host
Measure: Visits with a verified ID and approved pass
Record: ID verification status, visitor pass, host, approved work areas, and entry and exit times.
Workflow: Scan ID → Verify details → Generate QR pass → Record visit
Check vehicles at the gate
Read number plates with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and check approved and blocked vehicle lists. Gate staff confirm delivery appointments and loading bays, reviewing blocked or unmatched vehicles before entry.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Readable plates, current vehicle lists, and the relevant visit or delivery approval.
Response owner: Gate supervisor
Measure: Blocked or unmatched vehicle alerts
Record: Detected plate, list-match status, visit reference, gate decision, and entry or refusal time.
Workflow: Read plate → Check vehicle lists → Confirm approval → Record decision
Keep walkways and exits clear
Flag pallets, cartons and trolleys left in pedestrian or emergency routes. Assign clearance to the area owner and record the cleared route.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Marked keep-clear zones and agreed object dwell thresholds.
Response owner: Warehouse supervisor
Measure: Obstruction duration
Record: Obstruction image, location, assignment, and clearance confirmation.
Workflow: Detect object → Check route → Assign owner → Confirm clear
Measure vehicle waiting and loading time
Connect gate arrival, bay occupancy and departure times. Show logistics supervisors where delays occur: before the dock or during loading.
Workflow and setup
Setup: Defined gate and bay events with synchronised timestamps.
Response owner: Logistics supervisor
Measure: Gate-to-gate and bay waiting time
Record: Vehicle visit, queue interval, dock interval, and departure record.
Workflow: Record arrival → Track bay → Record departure → Review delay
From a close approach to corrective action
The safety team reviews the pedestrian and forklift paths, confirms the event and assigns changes to crossing rules or marshal coverage.

Start with three workflows
Site walkthrough
Choose the locations, check camera coverage and name the response teams.
30-day pilot
Test the agreed scope. Compare alert quality, false alerts, response times and record completeness with a baseline.
Review and extend
Review results with operations and IT. Resolve issues before extending to more zones.
From command center to field team
Supervisors
Review events and site records. Assign tasks, track progress and check the closure evidence.
Teams on site
Receive the location and instructions. Follow the checklist, capture current photos and record the action in the field app.

Before your first pilot
Can we use our existing cameras?
We assess feed access, camera position, lighting and visibility for each use case. Face and number plate recognition may need dedicated views.
Can cameras stop a machine when someone enters a danger zone?
Camera alerts support supervisor review and response. Machine interlocks, guarding and emergency stops remain essential. Any control-system link needs specialist engineering and validation.
How do we test forklift proximity alerts?
Choose a crossing, calibrate the camera view and define the movements to flag. Review alert accuracy, missed events and response times with the safety team.
What needs testing or integration?
Vehicle and door checks need current visit or access records. Analytics must be tested against your camera views, lighting and operating conditions.
What should we measure during the pilot?
Compare confirmed detections, false alerts, response times and record completeness with a baseline. Cover representative shifts and lighting, including missed or uncertain events.
Who should join the walkthrough?
Include plant, EHS, security, logistics, and maintenance teams, plus IT and privacy leads. Agree on permissions, retention, camera access, response procedures, and pilot measures.
