In busy industrial environments, every second matters. Equipment moves fast, decisions need to be made quickly, and operators are constantly balancing productivity with safety. At Speedshield Technologies, our goal has always been to give organisations better awareness, better control, and better intelligence across their fleets and worksites. Two of our most powerful technologies play a major role in achieving this: AiVA and OptiX.
Individually, they are impressive. Together, they create an intelligent ecosystem that helps businesses reduce risk, improve operator awareness, and turn real-time onsite activity into meaningful insight. Understanding how OptiX and AiVA work together not only highlights the strengths of each platform, but also demonstrates how integrated technology can fundamentally change the way you manage safety and performance.
AiVA – Real-Time Pedestrian Detection and On-Vehicle Intelligence
AiVA is designed for one core purpose — preventing incidents before they happen.
Using advanced AI-powered vision technology, AiVA continuously monitors the working environment around industrial vehicles. When a pedestrian enters a defined risk zone, AiVA identifies the person in real time and immediately alerts the operator. This improves awareness in situations where visibility is limited, distractions are present, or the environment is simply too dynamic for human reaction alone to be enough.
AiVA isn’t just about alarms, though... it’s about context, behaviour, and smarter safety decisions. It captures what happened, when it happened, and why it matters. That information becomes incredibly powerful once it connects with OptiX.
OptiX – Turning Data into Clear, Actionable Insight
OptiX is the intelligence layer that sits above your equipment, systems and sites. It transforms raw telematics and system data into clear dashboards, meaningful analytics and site-wide visibility.
Where AiVA works at the vehicle level, OptiX operates at the operational level.
It helps you see trends, understand incident risk, investigate events, and benchmark performance across sites, fleets, operators, and timeframes. Instead of relying on assumptions or isolated observations, OptiX gives you clear evidence so you can make confident, data-led decisions.
Where the True Power Lies: AiVA + OptiX Working as One
The real value comes from how OptiX and AiVA work together.
AiVA is constantly capturing real-time safety events — pedestrian detections, near misses, risk zone breaches and more. Rather than that information living solely on the vehicle, it streams into OptiX, where it’s aggregated, analysed and placed into meaningful context. What does that actually enable?
A Clear View of Pedestrian and Vehicle Interaction
Every relevant AiVA detection becomes a data point in OptiX. Patterns start to emerge:
- Which areas of the site see the most interactions?
- Which shifts experience the highest risk?
- Are certain operators consistently working in higher-risk environments?
- Do particular tasks or processes lead to repeated close calls?
This level of visibility helps organisations identify vulnerabilities that simply can’t be seen in day-to-day operations.
Faster, Smarter Incident Investigation
When something does happen — or nearly happens — OptiX gives safety teams immediate access to:
- Recorded event data
- Associated vehicle information
- Timing, frequency and event history
- Supporting contextual telemetry data
Instead of piecing together fragmented information, teams can quickly understand what occurred, why it occurred, and how to prevent it happening again.
From Reactive Response to Proactive Prevention
Most businesses don’t struggle with collecting data — they struggle with making it useful. AiVA collects the right kind of safety intelligence, and OptiX helps translate it into proactive strategy. This combination supports:
- More effective training
- Smarter traffic management design
- Evidence-based safety investment
- Measurable improvement programs
Organisations shift from “responding to incidents” to preventing them with confidence.
Supporting Stronger Safety Cultures
Another key benefit of how OptiX and AiVA work together is the impact on culture. Operators feel supported with better onboard awareness. Managers gain clarity rather than speculation. Leadership teams are equipped with real numbers — not guesswork — when making safety decisions. Over time, that leads to stronger accountability, improved engagement, and safer working environments.
Designed to Work Seamlessly in Real-World Environments
It’s no secret that industrial environments are tough, demanding and constantly changing. AiVA and OptiX have been engineered to handle those realities — not theoretical best-case scenarios. They integrate into existing fleets, support complex multi-site operations, and are built to evolve alongside new technology and safety expectations. Whether you’re operating a large enterprise fleet or managing a fast-paced industrial site, the combination of AiVA and OptiX gives you a powerful, future-focused platform for safety intelligence.
Partnering with businesses who take safety seriously
Speedshield Technologies has always been driven by a simple goal – help people return home safely while enabling organisations to operate smarter and more efficiently. Understanding how OptiX and AiVA work together is a key step in seeing what’s truly possible when advanced AI vision technology and powerful industrial analytics sit side by side.
