How is AI Enhancing Industrial Safety Monitoring?
The collaboration will bring computer vision-based safety monitoring to select NOV manufacturing facilities as part of a broader digital transformation push.
Detect Technologies, SGT Global, and NOV announced on July 29, 2026, a strategic collaboration to deploy Detect's T-Pulse 360° Industrial Site Intelligence platform across select NOV manufacturing operations.
The company said that the collaboration combines Detect's industrial vision AI platform, SGT's expertise in digital transformation and enterprise integration, and NOV's global manufacturing footprint. The goal is to build a scalable framework for improving workplace safety, compliance, and operational visibility across NOV's sites, according to them.
"Safety has always been about protecting people. AI now enables us to do that with unprecedented consistency, speed, and scale," said Daniel Raj David, Founder and CEO of Detect Technologies. He described the NOV collaboration as another significant step toward making proactive, real-time safety intelligence the standard across critical industrial infrastructure.
David Reid, Chief Technology Officer at NOV, said AI becomes transformative when it moves beyond isolated applications and becomes part of the operational architecture. He said the collaboration gives NOV a scalable foundation for turning site data into actionable intelligence across its manufacturing network.
Inside T-Pulse 360°
According to the company, T-Pulse uses computer vision, machine learning, and real-time analytics to monitor site conditions continuously. The platform generates automated Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) compliance insights and supports proactive risk identification, the company said. Detect said the platform is designed to reduce operational risk exposure while improving workforce engagement and decision-making.
SGT said it will oversee deployment and integration of the platform across participating NOV facilities, including connecting AI-generated insights with the company's existing business systems and operational workflows.
Kumar Bashyam, Chief Executive Officer of SGT Global, said industrial AI delivers the greatest value when technology, operations, and people work together. He said SGT is excited to support NOV's digital transformation journey by helping operationalize AI-driven safety and compliance capabilities across its manufacturing environments.
The companies said the collaboration reflects a shared vision of using industrial AI to create safer workplaces, improve operational performance, and accelerate digital transformation across industrial environments.
