Fogsphere is a London‑based innovator focused on transforming workplace and urban safety through advanced AI, Computer Vision, and Industrial IoT. Built on a principled “Edge‑to‑Fog‑to‑Cloud” architecture, our platform turns passive CCTV cameras and sensors into proactive hazard detectors, capable of identifying threats like missing PPE, fire, smoke, restricted access violations, and more—in real time and at scale. This helps organizations across industries—from manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, and healthcare to smart cities—reduce workplace accidents by up to 90%, ensure regulatory compliance (EHS), and gain powerful operational insights. Fogsphere’s intuitive no‑code visual workflows, hyper‑scalable Kubernetes‑based infrastructure, and commitment to ethical AI and privacy (GDPR compliance) make it a user‑friendly yet enterprise‑grade solution.
