The Problem

The Safety Blind Spot

Despite a strong safety commitment, ABF subsidiaries like AB Agri & ABF Sugar faced a critical blind spot: manual reporting wasn't catching leading indicators. Without 24/7 monitoring, unsafe behaviors like vehicle-pedestrian crossovers went unnoticed until it was too late. Relying on reactive data meant safety teams were always looking backward, making it impossible to prevent accidents before they happened.

The Solution

Moving from Reactive to Proactive

Subsidiaries like AB Agri & ABF Sugar partnered with Protex AI to transform existing CCTV into an intelligent, always-on safety tool. By shifting focus from tracking accidents to identifying unsafe behaviors in real-time, they empowered teams to intervene before incidents occurred. This partnership shifted them from a "Reactive" culture to an "Interdependent" one.
