The Tool Selection Warnings feature of the Watchtower system is a critical safety tool designed to prevent accidents and errors caused by incorrect tool usage. On construction sites, where specific tasks require the use of designated tools, this feature ensures workers select the appropriate equipment, thereby minimizing risks.
The system utilizes computer vision technology to recognize and identify tools, each assigned a unique identifier in the database. Before any task begins, the system determines the required tools based on the task's complexity, material type, and safety protocols. During execution, real-time monitoring verifies tool selection. If a mismatch is detected, the system triggers a Tool Selection Warning, alerting the worker to review and correct their choice.
These warnings enforce compliance with safety standards and prevent accidents, injuries, and damage to equipment. All warning instances are logged for reporting, allowing supervisors to track tool usage compliance and address recurring issues.
The benefits are significant: accident prevention, reduced errors, assured compliance, improved operational efficiency, and a strengthened safety culture. This feature enhances workplace safety by actively guiding workers to use the correct tools, reinforcing the importance of adhering to standard procedures.
