Cameras that observe like humans.

What we see.

An industrial mixer, mid-operation. The operator is approaching; the guarding barrier is open. The final 18 minutes of the shift.

Something is off here.

A classic CV system says "person detected, machine detected" and stops. Primarch reads it as a machine-guarding violation — because it evaluates the open barrier, the approaching operator, and the still-energized machine together.

  > Scene: Operator approaching industrial mixer. Guard is open, mixer energized.> Detection: Machine guarding violation · T-18m to shift-end> Root cause: Evening shift exit without re-engaging guards> Action: Shift-close checklist + interlock system

Why it repeats.

We have observed this same pattern 8 times over the last 14 days — all on Line B, all on the evening shift, all within the last 20 minutes of shift-close. This is not inattention. It is a process gap.

What to do.

Primarch doesn't just flag the violation — it proposes a solution: a shift-close checklist and a machine interlock system. After two iterations Line B's violation rate dropped to zero.

One cashier, one item.

Register 3, busy Friday evening. Customer in line, cashier scanning and bagging items. A normal flow on the surface.

There's no scan.

A classic CV system says 'cashier detected, item detected' and stops. Primarch reads it as a no-scan pattern — because it evaluates the item being brought to the scanner without a beep, the familiar customer, and the same cashier repeating it together.

  > Scene: Cashier brings item near the scanner but bags it without scanning> Detection: No-scan pattern · Store #47 Register 3 · 23 events / 30 days> Root cause: Same cashier, peak hours, recurring. POS cross-check confirmed> Action: POS-camera integration + shift rotation

Not an event — a pattern.

We have observed this same pattern 23 times over the last 30 days — all at Store #47 Register 3, all during peak hours, all involving specific repeat customers. POS cross-check correlation: ~85%.

Evidence before accusation.

Primarch doesn't just flag a no-scan — it proposes two actions: POS-camera integration (for evidence) and shift rotation (to redirect the risk). No false accusations; real losses prevented.
