AI video analytics for Odisha's steel, aluminium and power sites
Odisha's heavy-industry belt, from Jharsuguda and Angul to Rourkela, Kalinganagar and Paradip, runs large perimeters, round-the-clock shifts and thousands of contract workers. Most of these sites already have hundreds of cameras. Almost nobody is watching them live.
Neurabit VMS records every camera and analyses every stream on edge hardware inside your site, so it keeps working when the leased line drops. We are headquartered in Sambalpur, within a few hours' drive of most of the state's major industrial clusters.
Key facts
- Neurabit runs production edge video analytics at a live electrical substation operated by a power distribution utility in Odisha, detecting fire, smoke, PPE violations and restricted-zone entry on NVIDIA Jetson hardware with no cloud dependency.
- A 32-camera site produces 768 hours of footage every day, and one supervisor can meaningfully watch about 4 streams at a time.
- A 32-camera Odisha plant running PPE compliance and fire and smoke detection on subscription costs ₹51,200 per month at ₹800 per use case per camera, with the edge hardware included.
- Neurabit is headquartered in Sambalpur, Odisha, so site surveys and on-site tuning across Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Angul and Rourkela do not involve flights.
- Neurabit VMS subscription starts at ₹800 per use case per camera per month with edge hardware included. To own the hardware instead, edge devices start at roughly ₹50,000 and each handles up to 10 cameras, with each use case licensed per camera on a perpetual or annual licence, priced on request. Discount tiers are available on request.
What goes wrong on Odisha's industrial sites
Smelters, steel plants and thermal power stations share the same camera problem: long perimeters, remote gates and yards that are busy at 3am. Contractors outnumber permanent staff on many sites, which makes PPE discipline and restricted-area access the two issues that come up in almost every safety audit.
Connectivity is the second problem. Many plants sit well outside city fibre networks, and a cloud video analytics product that needs around 128 Mbps of sustained upload for 32 cameras simply stops when the link degrades. Neurabit VMS runs fully on-site, so detection, recording and local alerting continue with the WAN down.
Use cases that matter most here
- PPE compliance (helmet, vest, gloves, boots, harness) in pot lines, melt shops, coal handling and switchyards.
- Fire and smoke detection in conveyor galleries, cable trenches and coal storage, including holidays and night shifts.
- Perimeter intrusion and fence climbing along long boundaries, especially at night.
- Restricted-area entry to switchyards, control rooms, transformer bays and stores.
- Vehicle and loading movements outside approved timings at weighbridges, gates and rail sidings.
- Security guards absent from post or missing patrol rounds at remote gates.
Proven at a live Odisha substation
Our production reference is a live electrical substation operated by a power distribution utility in Odisha. We cannot name the client, but our multi-camera analytics pipeline runs on NVIDIA Jetson inside the substation, covering fire and smoke, PPE compliance and restricted-zone entry. Footage never leaves the premises.
The deployment taught us what the tuning weeks are for. Substation lighting, reflective equipment and uniform colours all produced false positives out of the box. Domain fine-tuning on the site's own footage is what brought alerts to a level operators act on, and that tuning process is built into every Neurabit VMS deployment.
Deployment and support in Odisha
We survey the site first and tell you which cameras are usable, which need re-aiming and which need replacing. Recording and alerting go live on day 3, then we spend 2 to 4 weeks tuning against real site conditions. Because our team is in Sambalpur, that tuning happens on-site rather than over a video call.
Neurabit is DPIIT-recognised and ISO 27001-certified, which helps with procurement at public sector undertakings and large private groups.
Frequently asked questions
Which Odisha industrial areas do you cover?
All of Odisha. We are based in Sambalpur, so Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Angul, Talcher, Rourkela and Kalinganagar are within a few hours by road, and Paradip and Bhubaneswar are a day trip.
Does AI CCTV work at remote plants and substations with poor internet?
Yes. Neurabit VMS runs on edge hardware at your site and needs no internet for recording, detection or local alerting. WhatsApp and email notifications queue and send once the link returns.
Can it detect PPE violations on contract workers without uniforms?
Yes, PPE detection looks for the equipment itself (helmet, vest, gloves, boots, harness), not a uniform. Contractors in street clothes are exactly the case we tune for during the first weeks on site.
How much does AI video analytics cost for a plant in Odisha?
Subscription starts at ₹800 per use case per camera per month, hardware included. At that rate, a 32-camera plant running PPE and fire and smoke detection pays ₹51,200 per month. To own the hardware instead, edge devices start at roughly ₹50,000 and each handles up to 10 cameras, with each use case licensed per camera on a perpetual or annual licence, priced on request.
