Hard Hat Detection System
1. Background
In construction sites, mining areas, and industrial zones, safety is always the top priority. Falling objects and unsafe operations can cause serious injuries, property loss, and production interruptions. To ensure safety, workers are required to wear hard hats at all times.
However, despite regular safety training, some workers still fail to comply. Many companies still rely on manual inspections or security staff watching CCTV footage to identify violations, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Continuous monitoring is impossible for humans alone — this is where AI-powered technology becomes essential.
FuweeVision’s AI Hard Hat Detection System automatically identifies whether workers are wearing helmets through existing surveillance cameras, improving safety compliance and reducing management costs.
2. Product Overview and Workflow
FuweeVision’s AI Hard Hat Detection Algorithm uses advanced deep learning and big data technology to detect people and helmets in real time.
It achieves over 98% accuracy, supports multiple scenarios such as construction sites, factories, and industrial zones, and works without additional hardware.
The system enables real-time monitoring and local alarm functions, helping enterprises enhance safety management efficiency and reduce violation risks.
System Overview
The FuweeVision Intelligent Safety Management System is a video-based AI recognition platform that automatically detects unsafe behaviors and generates real-time alerts.
It uses existing cameras for monitoring, with flexible deployment and fast response.
Workflow
-
The front-end cameras continuously send video streams to the server.
-
The AI safety system analyzes the video stream in real time.
-
When a violation is detected (e.g., no helmet worn), the system captures images, stores evidence, and triggers alarms locally or in the control room.
3. System Architecture
The system includes:
-
Front-end IP cameras (existing CCTV or new installation)
-
AI video processing and detection module
-
Alarm output or integration with management platform
-
Optional client interface for monitoring and playback
