Safety Intelligence for high-risk industries, built in Singapore

Founded in the last quarter of 2020 by Vishnu Saran and Anand Kumar. A team of around 40, most of them machine learning and computer vision engineers.

Why we started Invigilo

Behind almost every serious injury sits a precursor: missing edge protection, a person under a suspended load, a vehicle path crossing a walking route. The CCTV was recording, and the hazard was in frame.

The footage was reviewed only afterwards, as evidence.

Invigilo alerts the site team while the hazard is still there to fix.

The International Labour Organization estimates that nearly 3 million workers die from work-related causes every year. Most serious injury and fatality precursors are visible on camera before the incident, which is the gap Invigilo closes: from detection to intervention, while there is still time.

How the product grew

Invigilo grew site by site, in live high-risk environments, with safety teams telling us what was missing.

  1. Q4 2020

    Founded in Singapore

    Two co-founders and a first model trained on a single site camera.

  2. From 2021

    First live deployments

    SafeKey goes live on working sites, hardened against rain, glare, dust and night shifts.

  3. New ground

    Saudi Arabia

    First deployments on oil and gas and giga-project sites.

  4. Scale

    Close to 200 sites

    Across six countries, in construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, logistics and maritime.

  5. Today

    Five layers and Permit

    Detect, Understand, Respond, Insights and Predict: scene understanding, corrective actions verified on camera, risk insights, forecasts and generated briefings.

Where Invigilo runs

Close to 200 sites across six countries, in the conditions that are hardest on cameras and models: desert heat, salt air, monsoon rain and 24-hour shift work.

  1. Construction

    Tower cranes, excavations, tunnels and high-rise work.

  2. Oil and gas

    Refineries, plants and giga-project sites.

  3. Manufacturing

    Plant floors, machinery and forklift traffic.

  4. Logistics

    Warehouses, docks and vehicle and pedestrian routes.

  5. Maritime

    Shipyards, vessels and offshore work.

In the media

Coverage and recognition, on record. All news.

Three product rules we keep

Workers trust a safety system that reads conditions. These are built into the product and stay the same for every deal.

  1. Faces

    Face recognition stays off unless you switch it on

    An optional module, off by default. Safety detection reads conditions: the missing harness, the person under the load, the vehicle in the walkway.

  2. People

    Reports by area, crew and condition

    Invigilo does not rank individual workers. Faces, bodies and backgrounds can be blurred per camera.

  3. Video

    Video can stay on site

    With a site server, AI processing runs in the site office and only events leave the site. Cloud processing is used only where your policy allows it.
