RIVERSIDE, MO – February 18, 2026 – Velociti, a trusted technology consultant and deployment partner, today announced a strategic partnership with Safety Shield Global, a pioneer in AI-powered industrial safety solutions.

The collaboration, which will bring next-generation safety technology to worksites across the infrastructure, energy, construction, and industrial sectors, is aimed at drastically reducing the number of workforce injuries where moving machinery is involved.

Safety Shield’s award-winning technology uses advanced Human Form Recognition AI to act as a third eye for machine operators. The system identifies people in proximity to equipment and provides real-time audible and visual alerts, with a proven ability to reduce at-risk behaviours by 88%.

The real-time incursion data and video recordings are instantly available in the Safety Shield portal, providing valuable insights into behavioural patterns or potential problem areas.

Delivering crucial information directly to those in charge on the ground, the S.T.R.E.A.M app, which has been developed as an extension to the incident data-recording portal, also ensures that supervisors and line managers are instantly supplied and updated with the incursion data they need to have at-risk conversations, ensure safety protocols are not just adhered to but also updated and constantly reviewed.

Recognised with a King’s Award for Innovation in 2024, Safety Shield’s state-of-the-art detection system has a 99.6% accuracy rating and only 0.05% false detections, offering a reliable way to protect personnel in high-risk environments.
