VLM output
Inside a machine shop, a small flame and smoke appear at the base of a large CNC machine near a coiled hose, and the smoke plume grows and drifts across the aisle. A worker in light clothing walks down the far right aisle toward the area while the fire continues to burn at the machine base.

Customer challenges
Workers in isolated or hazardous areas can be injured or incapacitated with no one noticing, and manual observation and self-reporting delay response — while traditional smoke and heat detectors are slow in large, open, or high-ceiling spaces and can miss localized ignition, so late detection means costly damage and risk.
Customer benefits
Faster emergency response and reduced injury severity, with earlier warning of fire and smoke at the source that means less property damage and downtime — all through 24/7 wide-area coverage of blind spots using existing cameras, plus consistent, audit-ready compliance enforcement, fewer incidents, and less supervisor time on manual checks, without adding headcount.

Before & after
| Before | After — with Linker AI Nexa |
|---|---|
| Before Distress noticed only when a colleague happens to see it or on periodic patrols; response can take several minutes. | After — with Linker AI Nexa Automatic alert to the safety/control room the moment a distress gesture is detected; response begins in seconds. |
| Before Fire detected only after smoke reaches ceiling sensors or is seen by staff, allowing significant spread. | After — with Linker AI Nexa Smoke or flame flagged visually at the source within seconds, with an automatic alert and pinpointed location. |
