Artificial intelligence and automation technologies for better safety at work for people - TATTI

Occupational safety is an essential part of a sustainable, productive and healthy working environment. It reduces accidents, promotes workers' health and efficiency, and strengthens companies' reputation and competitiveness. Satakunta has a diverse work environment, with major players in industry, services and the health and social services sector, whose safety solutions have a direct impact on productivity and employee well-being. Artificial intelligence and automation technologies offer new opportunities for improving occupational safety. Artificial intelligence and automation technologies for better safety at work for people -project will develop solutions based on AI, robotics and automatic identification technologies to automatically monitor and control safety in different work environments. This includes monitoring the use of protective equipment and clothing, identifying dangerous work tasks and behavior, analysing the work environment’s safety threats and reducing cognitive load caused by memorizing safety procedures and standards. The aim of the project is to develop and pilot automated occupational safety solutions. These can support the reduction of workplace accidents and human errors, as well as the improvement of work safety practices. Similarly, the solutions can support business development and competitiveness of companies by promoting the commercialisation of the automated safety solutions and improving their scalability across industries, as well as by improving productivity and well-being at work. At best automatic occupational safety solutions will lead to better employer brand and increased attractiveness of jobs. The technologies developed can be used in particular in manufacturing, food industry as well as in social and health services, where the correct use of protective equipment and human behavior are critical safety factors. These sectors are also very important from a security of supply perspective. The project will analyse various working environments and identify particularly critical safety challenges in cooperation with companies and experts. This work will apply machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), robotics and sensing technologies to create safety-enhancing solutions. Prototype solutions will be developed and tested both in the laboratory and in the field in different working environments. The results of the experiments will be analysed, documented and shared with companies and other stakeholders to guarantee wide dissemination. The project will result in innovative safety solutions based on artificial intelligence and automation that will enhance the business opportunities of companies in the region and improve the safety and productivity of working environments. The project also supports national and EU-level objectives such as the smart specialisation strategy, digitalisation, security of supply and the development of safety and well-being at work. The further development of the project will enable the scaling-up of technologies to different sectors and the emergence of new business models around occupational safety solutions. RoboAI's expertise will be combined with the needs of working life and industry, creating a basis for the long-term research and development of work safety automation and AI solutions.
