What TDI Built for Ha-Meem
TDI modernized security infrastructure at Ha-Meem Group’s C-TPAT and Packing Area by layering AI intelligence onto the existing surveillance network. The system identifies authorized staff through facial recognition, flags unauthorized entrants in real time, and detects critical safety hazards like smoke and fire. It replaces paper registers and memory based checks with a centralized, compliance ready digital platform connected to local alarms and WhatsApp alerts for instant response.
Challenges & What TDI Built
Manual Access Checks
Security teams were relying on visual memory, photo displays, and paper registers.
High Daily Movement
Two sensitive zones saw heavy traffic that required faster verification and auditability.
AI Safety Layer
TDI added facial recognition, intrusion detection, hazard alerts, and digital reports.
The Challenges
Guards manually matched faces against photo displays and paper registers
160 to 170 people moved through two zones daily, overwhelming a 22 person security team
No uniform policy made visual department categorization unreliable
No automation existed for unauthorized access, tailgating, loitering, or hazard detection
No structured audit trail left the facility dependent on constant human vigilance
What TDI Built
AI facial recognition cross referenced against an authorized personnel database
Real time intrusion detection for unauthorized entry, tailgating, and loitering
Integrated smoke and fire hazard monitoring inside live camera feeds
Instant WhatsApp Business API alerts with snapshot, classification, and timestamp
Automated CSV and SQL audit reports for compliance and administrative review
Business Impact
Seconds not hours
Security breaches are flagged in real time instead of being discovered retrospectively
15-20 FPS per stream
High throughput processing enables fluid tracking across high traffic corridors
Compliance ready
Tamper resistant digital audit trails are generated for buyer inspections and internal review
Scalable foundation
Architecture is prepared to expand across the full 1,300 camera network in later phases
Core Technologies
Team Involvement
Development Phases
Planning & Infrastructure
Finalized software architecture, AI pipeline, and team structure. Established remote IP access to the factory NVR after data collection hurdles, then locked the project scope to facial recognition after pivoting away from floor compliance.
Proof of Concept
Demonstrated a working PoC tracking selected individuals, which led the client to approve full scale personnel coverage for the protected zones.
Hardware Setup & Data Ingestion
Installed and calibrated dedicated cameras at the Packing Area entrance with NVR firmware updates. Captured the first facial dataset of 69 authorized personnel for real world model training.
Scaling & Cloud Deployment
Scaled the AI model with newly acquired datasets, migrated from local edge processing toward a cloud based architecture, completed A and B Unit coverage, and shifted the deliverable toward an interactive monitoring dashboard based on client feedback.
Core Features
Automated Access Control
Replaces manual security checks with database linked facial recognition that identifies authorized and unauthorized personnel instantly.
Real Time Intrusion Detection
Continuously monitors restricted zones to flag unauthorized entrants, tailgaters, and loiterers as they happen.
Integrated Hazard Monitoring
Analyzes live video feeds for early smoke and fire signatures embedded directly within the surveillance pipeline.
Instant Response Linkage
Connects AI detections to local physical alarms and WhatsApp Business API alerts with snapshot and classification tags.
Automated Digital Audit Trails
Generates compliant CSV and SQL reports of entry and hazard events for administrative and buyer review.
Future Prospects
Backend expansion to manage the full 1,300 camera network with concurrent RTSP stream processing
Phased rollout replacing paper based and memory reliant security protocols across the facility
Advanced threat analytics including crowd density mapping, anomalous behavior detection, and perimeter breach alerts
Integration with HR and payroll systems for shift based access control tied to employee work schedules
Unified security operations dashboard connecting all zones, floors, and buildings into a single intelligent monitoring platform
