Food-safety inspections happened monthly, but violations happened daily and nobody was watching between visits.
A 12-kitchen central kitchen chain stops hygiene breaches at source
Uniform, mask, glove and pest detection runs on XCORE-8 boxes in every kitchen, pushing violations to the quality team and to public screens.
Project snapshot
The essentials at a glance.
| Industry | Food Safety |
| Scale | 12 kitchens · 1 quality dashboard · public displays |
| Hardware | XCORE-8 |
| Key algorithms | Chef Uniform & Bare-Hand, Mask Detection, Glove & Hairnet Detection, Pest / Rat Detection |
The challenge
What the site was dealing with before deployment.
The chain had no consistent way to compare kitchen discipline across locations.
What we deployed
The configuration and how it was rolled out.
- Uniform, hat, mask, glove and bare-hand detection enabled on cooking-line channels in all 12 kitchens.
- Pest and floor-spill detection added in storage and prep areas.
- Short automated audio reminders play in the kitchen the moment a violation is detected.
- Live feeds displayed in the dining halls, and a consolidated hygiene score published to the quality team weekly.
Results
Measured outcomes after go-live.
- Hygiene findings at inspection fell 64% over two quarters.
- Kitchen managers coach from daily summaries rather than waiting for a monthly report.
- The public displays became a visible selling point for the brand.

PPE and zone protection across a 45-camera auto-parts plant
A tier-1 automotive supplier deployed XCORE-16 boxes to enforce helmet and vest rules and keep workers out of robot cells, replacing manual patrols.
Eight metro construction sites unified under one safety dashboard
A metro contractor rolled out 260 cameras on XCORE-32 appliances, combining PPE detection, danger-zone alarms and face-based labour attendance.
34 unmanned substations protected without adding guards
Intrusion, fire-smoke and loitering detection on XCORE-16 appliances turned remote substations into monitored, self-reporting sites.
