Most industrial facilities already have cameras. The problem isn't coverage — it's that no team can watch every feed, every hour, without missing something.
That is the gap Altave's Intelligent Asset Monitoring platform is designed to close. Instead of generating footage for review after an incident, the system turns live video into an active detection layer. Computer vision models process streams continuously, applying temporal reasoning across frame sequences to distinguish a worker crossing a restricted boundary from a flag moving in the wind. The difference matters: alert fatigue kills the value of any monitoring system. Low false-positive rates are not a feature — they are the prerequisite for the technology to be usable at all.
The platform runs on top of existing camera infrastructure, so operators don't need to replace hardware they already have. Where fixed cameras can't reach — remote areas, wide-open terrain, elevated vantage points — Altave deploys proprietary aerostats as sensor carriers. The software layer remains the same regardless of what feeds it.
Three detection categories drive the operational value. The occupational safety module flags PPE absence, Red Zone intrusion, and fatigue indicators in real time, with timestamped visual evidence logged automatically. Perimeter protection classifies targets — people, vehicles, drones — reducing false triggers from environmental movement. Environmental monitoring detects oil spill signatures on water surfaces, fire ignition points, and deforestation patterns; the detection algorithms for oil spills have been validated and approved by IBAMA, Brazil's environmental regulator.
What changes in practice is the direction of intervention. Instead of investigating what the footage shows after a leak or an injury, operations teams receive alerts before the consequence occurs. The evidence archive that gets built in the process also substantially reduces the time required for post-incident reporting and regulatory audits.
The system operates 24/7, autonomously, without requiring a dedicated operator per feed. Petrobras has qualified Altave as a vendor; the solution holds CE marking, IBAMA approval for leak detection, and recognition as a Strategic Defense Company by Brazil's Ministry of Defense.
