RUUT VISION — computer vision for physical sites
RUUT VISION is the computer-vision layer of the RUUT system. It reads camera feeds from plants, sites and facilities to detect events such as missing PPE, fire or intrusion, and passes structured observations to RUUT BRAIN. It is designed to run on-premise.

What it does
What RUUT VISION does
Detects safety and security events
VISION is designed to recognise events such as missing personal protective equipment, fire or smoke, and intrusion into restricted zones from standard camera feeds.
Turns frames into observations
Instead of raw video, VISION emits structured observations — what, where, when, confidence — that RUUT BRAIN can reason over alongside rules and sensor data.
Keeps footage local
Inference is designed to run close to the cameras, on EDGEBOX or local hardware, so footage does not need to leave the site.
How it connects
Where it sits in the loop
VISION is part of the Perceive stage of the RUUT Agent Loop, alongside SENSE. Its observations flow into RUUT BRAIN, which decides whether they matter under your rules; any resulting action passes through FORGE before an agent such as FOREMAN carries it out.

Deployment
How it is deployed
VISION is designed to run on-premise, next to existing cameras, on RUUT EDGEBOX or comparable local compute. Zones, event types and alert rules are configured per site.
Typical uses
- PPE compliance checks in defined zones of a plant
- Early fire or smoke observations for a safety team
- Restricted-area intrusion alerts outside working hours
FAQ
Questions about RUUT VISION
Does RUUT VISION need new cameras?
RUUT VISION is designed to work with standard IP camera feeds, so many sites can start with the cameras they already have. Camera placement, resolution and lighting affect what can be detected reliably, which is why every deployment begins with a site assessment.
Does video leave our premises?
VISION is designed so inference runs on-premise, close to the cameras, and only structured observations move on to RUUT BRAIN. Whether any footage is retained, and for how long, is a configuration decision made with you for each deployment.
Can VISION act on its own?
No. VISION perceives; it does not act. Its observations go to RUUT BRAIN, and any consequential action — stopping a line, escalating an alert — is checked by FORGE and can require human approval before an agent carries it out.
