Artificial Intelligence for Workplace Safety

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SERVES WORKPLACE SAFETY.

ICOY® represents a set of innovative systems designed to save human lives and reduce the risks of workplace accidents through state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence for workplace safety developed by the Itway Group. It utilizes an object detection algorithm capable of recognizing individuals through a single convolutional neural network. ICOY AI™ is continuously improving as it employs Deep Learning for analysis, automatically defining features used to classify image content and engage in self-learning. This approach allows for ongoing enhancement of the research with an increasing number of analyzed images and is not affected by object movement. Digital and Artificial Intelligence are strong allies in workplace safety, preventing accidents, and safeguarding human well-being.

Technical Features of ICOY solutions

ICOY® is the result of Itway’s research in data science and artificial intelligence. The systems are entirely MADE in Italy, are patented and certified and are able to recognise if people are in a danger area. The intelligent agents are constantly being improved thanks to ICOY AI ™, which self-learns and minimises false alarms.

An Effective Response Thanks to Technological Advancements.

The Itway ICOY® R&D team had to identify and overcome the limitations of commonly used technologies in workplace safety for detecting the presence of individuals in a danger zone:

It can be applied in industrial environments with high metal presence (iron and its derivatives), where Radio Frequency (RF) motion detection is not feasible.

It can be applied in workspaces with heat sources (ovens, steam, compressors, heat sinks, etc.) where basic infrared or Bluetooth motion detection systems cannot be used.

It complies with privacy regulations, as it detects the presence of individuals without needing tags.

Applicability in environments where regular image analysis through cameras, if used, generates numerous false alarms.

The system activates upon detecting a person within the danger zone and deactivates after 0.5 seconds when no person is detected in the danger zone. Cameras capture 30 frames per second, and the system analyzes each frame in search of people and other moving objects, considering their speed, within the danger zone dynamically.

ICOY solutions identify individuals and prevent unnecessary alarms.

The strength of ICOY® solutions lies in the continuous learning and flexibility of ICOY AI™. Today, ICOY AI™ can recognize even a small portion of the body to identify it as a human being. ICOY AI™ focuses solely on human beings and ensures their safety. It selectively detects to protect the human, recognizing a foot or an arm, to save the individual in its entirety.

A technological challenge conquered at the heart of the analysis unit.

GPUs (instead of CPUs) now provide the processing speed required for these real-time solutions. Around this GPU, an industrial computer (analysis unit) has been built to host the ICOY AI™ software. We have chosen the technological and market leader, NVIDIA.

Quick customization and implementation. Each customer gets their solution.

ICOY® systems are available in flexible configurations and can be customized to meet the specific implementation requirements of the client company using the latest deep learning and situational awareness technologies.

Intelligent distribution and versatility. Every application is a success.

Reliability, performance, and scalability apply to the client company's fleet of machinery/vehicles and gantry cranes for various intelligent security implementations. The Itway ICOY® R&D team can modularly integrate the ICOY® system composed of analysis units, cameras, and displays. The solution is not predefined or rigid but adapts to the client company's needs.

It is a security support system.

ICOY® solutions do not interact in any way with the operational functions of the vehicle or with the safety devices already present on the vehicle. They do not fall under the obligations of the Machinery Directive and do not interfere with CE marking.

Testimonials

“This project addresses a highly important issue, namely workplace safety, which doesn't improve solely through stricter laws but rather through solutions like the one developed by Itway. The ICOY MOVER solution enhances a context with significant and positive implications for the entire Italian manufacturing sector, and it does so by leveraging Artificial Intelligence, one of the most advanced yet contentious technological domains today, effectively and for socially critical purposes. Moreover, unlike many Italian companies, it involves the development of a patented solution (ICOY), thereby contributing to the growth of the Italian technological landscape. It serves as a perfect example of how innovation can be pursued with the aim of enhancing and advancing the world we live in.”.
Francesco Sacco
Professor and member of the Quality Jury of the Italian Project Awards, G11 Media Editorial Group
“ICOY MOVER® was also developed in response to a specific request from the Marcegaglia Group. It serves the immediate purpose of alerting operators who work at the Port of Ravenna on equipment such as forklifts, bulldozers, excavators, and overhead cranes to the presence of individuals in a predefined danger zone. This innovative solution required over 3 years of research and testing, surpassing the inherent limitations of technologies used to date, such as motion detection, Infrared, Bluetooth, or Radio Frequency-based applications and systems. It has been patented by Itway (Patent No. 102020000016051). These systems further the goals of the Itway Group: a presence in the market for Cyber Safety solutions and the enhancement of working conditions in Italy by reducing accident risks and saving lives”.
GiOVANNI Andrea Farina
President and CEO of Itway Group
“The Itway Group was awarded a total of 2 prizes at the 2022 Italian Project Awards. The winning projects underwent evaluation in two key phases: an initial assessment by the editorial teams of ChannelCity and ImpresaCity, followed by a second evaluation in which the Quality Jury, composed of academics, market analysts, and corporate innovation manager profiles, participated. Itway S.p.A. clinched victory in two out of the four categories with the most innovative project and the best project for businesses. These wins are attributed to the new ICOY® (I Care Of You) solution, an innovative system designed to save human lives and reduce workplace accident risks through cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence”.
