How does the ghosting actually work?

Ghosting applies a real-time anonymization layer—blurring or masking operators in video feeds while preserving their movements, posture, and PPE for analysis.

Can people be re-identified?

No. Ghosting removes facial and biometric features. Operators cannot be re-identified from the footage.

Is this just facial blurring?

It goes beyond simple blurring. Ghosting can apply full-body silhouettes or masks to remove all identity markers, not just the face.

Does this meet our internal HR policy?

Yes. Ghosting was designed in close alignment with common HR, legal, and union requirements for video privacy. We'll help you review it with your team.

Is it GDPR or PIPEDA compliant?

Yes. Ghosting supports privacy-by-design principles and aligns with GDPR, PIPEDA, and other major data protection regulations.

Where is the footage stored?

Footage is stored on secure, access-controlled servers or integrated into your existing on-premise/cloud setup. No raw identity data is stored if Ghosting is applied.

Can this be implemented in a unionized environment?

Yes. Ghosting was built to support rollouts in heavily regulated and unionized workplaces by eliminating the need to capture personal identity.

Privacy Concerns
Block Progress

Video analytics promise a safer, more efficient factory floor - but in many environments, they raise serious concerns:

Concerns

Will our people be recorded?

Is this surveillance?

Are we compliant with GDPR or internal privacy policies?

Discomfort

“69% of UK employees say they are deeply uncomfortable with video surveillance at work, and only 14% consider it acceptable”

Computer Weekly, 2023

Hesitation

Employee pushback

Compliance rejection

Legal and reputational risks

Privacy shouldn’t be the cost of progress.

AI Video Insights Without Compromising Trust

We’ll take a short clip from your existing security cameras and show you what’s really happening on your factory floor through the lens of AI. Here’s exactly what you’ll receive

Build a Culture of Trust

Create operational visibility without making employees feel watched

Protect Employee Privacy

Fully anonymized feeds ensure individual identities are never tracked or stored

Comply With HR and Legal Policies

Built to meet internal workplace safety and data protection requirements

What Makes Our Ghosting Technology Unique

More than anonymization. Designed for operational visibility without capturing identity.

Step 1

Detect people without storing identity

Pacefactory detects human presence and movement across critical areas of the facility without recording facial features or personal identifiers

Step 2

Automatically anonymize individuals in real time

As soon as a person is detected, the system applies anonymization algorithms instantly replacing identifiable features with abstract representations.

Step 3

Maintain motion, activity, and behavioral detail for accurate analysis

Despite anonymization, the system retains body movement, task patterns, safety compliance behaviors, and workstation interactions. This ensures detailed operational insights without compromising privacy.

Operator Privacy Without Sacrificing Insights.

AI doesn’t need to know who you are. Just what’s happening.

What Ghosting Hides

All masked in real time. Nothing stored. Nothing exposed.

Faces and facial features

Skin tone and identifying traits

Biometric data

Gender cues or personal appearance

Any visual information that ties to an individual
