RUUT FOREMAN — the plant-safety agent
RUUT FOREMAN is a plant-safety agent built on the RUUT system. It combines VISION and SENSE observations, reasons over site safety rules with RUUT BRAIN, verifies proposed actions with FORGE, and reports violations, machine signals and safety observations at the end of each shift.

What it does
What RUUT FOREMAN does
Watches the floor
FOREMAN combines VISION observations such as missing PPE with SENSE signals such as vibration anomalies, by zone and time.
Reasons over your safety rules
RUUT BRAIN matches observations to the site's own rules, so an alert reflects your procedures rather than a generic threshold.
Reports every shift
At the end of each shift, FOREMAN compiles violations, machine signals and safety observations into one report for the people responsible.
How it connects
Where it sits in the loop
FOREMAN is the worked example of the full RUUT Agent Loop: VISION and SENSE perceive, RUUT BRAIN reasons over safety rules, FORGE verifies any action and routes approvals, and FOREMAN acts — alerting, escalating and reporting — with a trace of every step.

Deployment
How it is deployed
FOREMAN is designed to run on-premise on RUUT EDGEBOX with the site's cameras and sensors. Zones, rules, alert recipients and report formats are configured with the site's safety team.
Typical uses
- Shift-end safety reports for plant managers
- Supervisor alerts when a rule is breached in a defined zone
- Combining safety observations with machine signals in one view
FAQ
Questions about RUUT FOREMAN
What does RUUT FOREMAN report?
At the end of each shift, RUUT FOREMAN compiles one report covering safety violations observed by VISION, machine signals from SENSE and other safety observations, organised so the people responsible can review what happened and what was done about it.
Can FOREMAN stop a machine?
Any action beyond alerting is proposed by RUUT BRAIN and checked by FORGE; stopping equipment is the kind of action you would normally require a supervisor to approve. What FOREMAN may do, and with whose approval, is set with your safety team.
Does FOREMAN replace safety staff?
No. FOREMAN gives safety staff a continuous view of the floor and a clear shift report. Decisions about people and procedures stay with your team; FOREMAN surfaces what it observed and routes consequential actions for approval.
How are a site's safety rules set up in FOREMAN?
The site's rules — zones, PPE requirements, machine thresholds and which actions need approval — are written with your safety team as a FORGE industrial-safety rule pack. The rules stay readable and versioned, so every alert and every report shows which rule was matched and which version of the rules was in force at the time.
