Overview
SpillGuard AI watches floors continuously and detects water and oil spills, debris and fallen persons in real time. It runs on a 10 cm ceiling-mount camera or on your existing cameras, and instantly alerts staff by app, warning light or PA so hazards are cleaned up before anyone slips.
The problem
Slips, trips and falls are among the most common causes of workplace injury and public-liability claims in supermarkets, restaurants, hospitals and warehouses. Spills are often discovered only after an incident, and floor walks are infrequent and hard to prove. A person who falls in a quiet aisle or corridor can go unnoticed for minutes.
Find spills from broken bottles, freezers and produce misting before customers slip.
Monitor kitchen floors and walkways for grease and water hazards.
Detect patient falls in corridors and common areas and alert nursing staff immediately.
Spot oil leaks from forklifts and liquid spills from damaged goods.
Keep high-traffic public floors safe and log response times for compliance.
Keep timestamped records of detection, alert and clean-up for safety audits and claims defence.
SpillGuard cameras or your existing CCTV monitor floors continuously.
On-device segmentation models find spills and debris; pose models detect a person on the floor.
Detections are confirmed over several seconds to filter shadows, reflections and staff activity.
Staff receive an instant alert with a snapshot and location; optional warning lights or signage activate.
Staff mark the hazard cleared and the dashboard records response time for reporting.
In the app
The SpillGuard staff app pushes alerts with snapshots and locations; the dashboard tracks hazards, response times and hotspots across every store or site.

2027 Pilot Program
Pilot partners get early hardware, direct engineering support and preferential launch pricing. Tell us about your site and cameras.
How the pilot program worksA member of the IEMI Labs team will reply within two business days.
No. Applying is free and carries no obligation. If you want to hold a pilot slot, you can place an optional $49 deposit. It is fully refundable any time before shipment — email [email protected] or use the refund link in your confirmation email — and it is credited in full against your purchase if you go ahead.
Yes. Video is analysed on the camera or edge box and is not streamed to the cloud. Only alerts with a single snapshot are sent to staff, and snapshots can be blurred to hide faces.
Yes, if they view the floor at a reasonable angle and provide an RTSP or ONVIF stream. Where coverage is missing, add a SpillGuard dome.
Each camera learns its normal floor appearance and confirms detections over several seconds, which filters reflections, shadows and cleaning staff. Pilot sites help us tune sensitivity per zone.
Domes mount on the ceiling with a single PoE cable. Existing cameras are added in the web setup wizard. Most stores are live within a day.
Ethernet with PoE or Wi-Fi 6, plus an internet connection for app alerts. Relay outputs work locally even if the internet is down.
We are planning a 2-year limited hardware warranty covering manufacturing defects, with advance replacement for pilot and business customers. Final warranty terms will be published before shipping begins.
