Staqu Technologies Partners with Haldia Petrochemicals Limited to Pioneer AI-Driven Drone Surveillance for Industrial Safety
· First-of-its-kind integration of AI-powered drone surveillance and real-time video analytics in a petrochemicals industrial setup
· Enables real-time fire hazard detection, PPE compliance monitoring, and instant safety alerts for rapid on-ground response.
Staqu Technologies, a leading AI-driven video analytics company, has partnered with Haldia Petrochemicals Limited (HPL), one of India’s premier petrochemical companies, to pioneer the use of AI-powered drone surveillance in industrial safety. The collaboration brings cutting-edge innovation to the vanguard of workplace security by enabling real-time monitoring of fire hazards and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) compliance across dynamic, high-risk industrial environments.
Focused on safety, HPL has consistently invested in state-of-the-art infrastructure and safety protocols, including fire detection systems, gas leak sensors, and rigorous PPE policies. With dedicated emergency response teams and continuous safety drills, HPL has created a culture where safety is integral to it’s operations. The new partnership with Staqu is a strategic move to augment these existing frameworks with the latest in artificial intelligence and automation, making safety systems not just reactive but predictively responsive.
By integrating Staqu’s proprietary AI platform, Jarvis, into drone-mounted surveillance systems, HPL will now be able to detect anomalies, potential fire hazards, and PPE violations in real time, across vast and complex industrial zones. This marks a shift from manual monitoring to intelligent, automated, and scalable safety enforcement.
Speaking about the partnership, Atul Rai, Co-Founder & CEO, Staqu Technologies, said:
"At Staqu, our mission is to harness the power of artificial intelligence to create safer, smarter, and more efficient environments across industries. Industrial safety is a critical concern, and traditional surveillance methods often fall short in addressing dynamic risks in real time. By integrating AI-powered video analytics with drone surveillance, we are not just enhancing monitoring capabilities but also redefining how industries approach safety. This technology enables proactive threat detection, minimizes human exposure to hazardous conditions, and ensures stringent compliance with safety protocols. Our partnership with Haldia Petrochemicals Limited is a step towards a future where intelligent automation safeguards lives and strengthens industrial resilience."
Echoing this sentiment, Sumit Duttagupta, CIO, Sr. Vice President and Head- Information System, Haldia Petrochemicals Limited, said, “Ensuring workplace safety is a top priority for us, and this collaboration with Staqu’s Jarvis marks a significant step in enhancing our safety & security infrastructure. AI-driven drone surveillance will allow us to detect and respond to potential risks in real time, reiterating our commitment to operational excellence and worker safety.”
As industries embrace intelligent technologies to strengthen their safety architecture, the Staqu-HPL partnership stands as a milestone in the evolution of industrial surveillance. It exemplifies how AI and automation can drive not just compliance, but a proactive culture of safety and risk prevention.
