ConductVision Enterprise
ConductVision outlines puddles, spilled liquid and oil on floors and yards in each camera view, and tells plant and facility teams where each spill is.

Spill & Leak Detection identifies the visual signatures of liquids spreading on surfaces, dripping from equipment, or pooling in containment areas. In a pilot, the system watches for oil on factory floors, leaks at storage tanks, seepage along pipelines and drips from machinery. Early alerts give the team time to act while a leak is still small. Models analyze liquid reflectivity, surface wetting patterns, color changes, and temporal spread dynamics to distinguish genuine spills from shadows, wet cleaning, and normal condensation.
Outcomes
A spill on a busy floor gets cleaned when someone reports it, which can be much later.
People and forklifts track liquid across the floor while it waits.
The same pump, valve or machine leaves a puddle every few days, and each cleanup goes down as a new spill.
Maintenance sees separate cleanups where there is one leaking part.
Water from roofs, doorways and wash-downs lands on walkways used by staff and visitors.
A wet patch nobody reported can cause a slip on the next shift.

Endpoints
Each endpoint is defined before the pilot starts, with what is counted, its unit and how the results are broken down.
| Endpoint | How it is counted | Unit | Broken down by |
|---|---|---|---|
| PrimaryTime to cleanup | Minutes from the first frame with a new patch of liquid to the first frame with the patch gone. | Unit:minutes (median) | By:Area, shift |
| SecondarySpill count | New patches of liquid larger than the minimum size set for each camera, counted once per patch. | Unit:spills per week | By:Area, liquid type |
| Repeat spots | Share of spills that start within a set distance of an earlier spill in the same view. | Unit:% | By:Camera, month |
| Wet-floor hours | Hours in which any puddle is visible on a walkway, summed per walkway. | Unit:hours per week | By:Walkway |
Each pilot measures ConductVision on your own footage against a sample checked by hand, before anyone relies on its numbers.

How it works
Connect
Mount cameras above storage tanks, pipe junctions, containment berms, equipment bases, and floor drains. The system supports both fixed cameras for continuous monitoring and drone-mounted cameras for pipeline surveys across large installations.
Analyze
The model compares each frame against a learned baseline of the dry scene, detecting new liquid presence by analyzing surface reflectivity changes, color shifts, and the temporal growth pattern of wet areas. False positive suppression filters normal events like rain, scheduled wash-downs, and condensation.
Act
Confirmed spill detections trigger alerts to operations teams with the camera location, spill area estimate, and a time-lapse sequence showing spread progression. All events are logged with timestamps and imagery for environmental compliance documentation.

Features
Use cases
Refineries and tank farms contain thousands of potential leak points across pipes, valves, and storage vessels. Camera-based monitoring can provide an always-on detection layer that catches small leaks before they escalate to reportable spill events.
energychemical
Machine tool coolant, hydraulic oil, and process chemicals can leak onto factory floors, creating slip hazards and contamination. Early detection enables rapid cleanup before the spill spreads or a worker is injured.
manufacturingautomotive
Pipeline operators need to detect leaks along hundreds of kilometers of infrastructure. Drone surveys with onboard cameras can identify surface evidence of underground leaks, soil staining, vegetation changes, and visible seepage, faster than periodic foot patrols.
energyutilitiesgovernment
Cooling systems in data centers carry significant water leak risk. Cameras positioned under raised floors and near CRAC units can detect the first signs of pooling water, preventing damage to critical computing infrastructure.
corporatetechnology
Chemical warehouses must monitor containment berms and secondary containment areas for accumulation. Continuous camera monitoring can verify that containment systems are functioning and detect overflow before chemicals reach storm drains.
chemicallogisticsmanufacturing
Mining operations generate tailings ponds and process water systems that must be monitored for leaks and overflows. Camera-based detection can supplement physical sensors along dam faces and discharge channels.
