Nokia Visual Position and Object Detection
Nokia Visual Position and Object Detection enables industries with real-time, tagless tracking and positioning.
Fixed camera-based tracking for a high-level view of your industrial site
Every industry can benefit from tracking and positioning solutions. It’s crucial to understand how workers navigate a campus, how automated machines execute tasks and which paths they follow, how the ecosystem operates, how hazards and emergencies can be avoided, or in case of such an event, how to react and locate those in need rapidly.
Nokia Visual Position and Object Detection provides industries with a tracking and positioning solution that is tag-less and that can leverage existing camera systems. It can be trained to detect anything on site without being intrusive.
- Tagless tracking of people and objects
- Can track anything it is trained to
- Provides low latency capabilities used with MX Grid
- Works with existing camera systems, connected to MX Grid
- Flexible system that can be combined with other positioning apps
How will Nokia Visual Position and Object Detection benefit your business?
Improved visibility of industrial site activities
Understanding the movements of machines and people can provide greater awareness around operational processes, potential bottlenecks and issues.
High asset availability and utilization
Tracking an item’s location can cut the time spent searching for it and improve asset utilization.
Increased worker safety
By identifying the locations of vehicles and workers potential collisions can be avoided. In an emergency, automated alerts ensure quick response so people and assets can be reached more rapidly.
How does Nokia Visual Position and Object Detection work?
Visual Position and Object Detection relies on the hyperconnected micro edge MX Grid, which hosts the latency-sensitive and compute-intense applications. Video feeds are pre-processed, and only relevant data is shared with the app running on Nokia MX Industrial Edge to update the real time environment model.

Worker Safety Solution
Worker safety is one of the main drivers of digitalization and workplace automation, but as this adds complexity, increases maintenance tasks and requires manual effort the penetration is slow. Worker safety applications heavily rely on the information where and when workers and machines are. Tracking and positioning solutions offer a foundation for worker safety applications. While most tracking and positioning technologies rely on tracking units and trackers, meaning planning, deployment and maintenance costs and effort is continuous.
It should come as no surprise we have built our worker safety solution on video-based tracking. A tracking and positioning solution that does not require tags and can leverage existing camera systems. It can detect anything on site that it’s trained without being intrusive.
Our worker safety solution combines the object and worker positioning information provided by VPOD, applies the specified rules to identify designated situations and take the necessary action.

We can identify dangerous situations, by detecting machine proximity to unaware workers. The network of cameras detects if a transport machine, forklift is dangerously close to workers, who are unaware. As a result, wall mounted lights and loudspeakers can indicate to workers of the approaching danger or send a message using their handheld devices. Alarms can also be raised to the plant manager in the control room for further action.
Geofenced zones can be dynamically created and adjusted. By temporarily restricting workers from entering an area, because of ongoing activities, or high speed traffic, or completely sealing off areas where machines operate we can reduce the risk of accidents. Increasing the awareness and safety of employees, by alerting them of potential dangers.
In case someone enters these areas, an alert can be raised to the workers and plant manager to take necessary action to avoid any serious incident that may result in injury or asset damage.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) non-compliance is one of the main causes of severe injuries. Utilizing our camera-based solution, PPE compliance can be tracked, controlled, and potential injuries originating from not wearing the right gear can be avoided.
There are instances when injuries simply cannot be prevented. In these cases, a quick response can have a significant impact on the outcome. By detecting fallen workers, we can identify and pinpoint the location of employees in need, thus alerting plant management where and when they need to provide aid and assistance. By simply eliminating time spent on detecting and finding an injured person, the severity of the incident can be massively reduced.
