Manufacturing is one of ever more important domains for applying IoT and real-time processing. Despite a big trend in optimizing production processes based on the real-time shop floor data (e.g. improving the quality control or the resource consumption), there is a huge need in making the workspaces more ergonomic, user friendly and safe. This is especially relevant for modern manufacturing facilities which are equipped with modern cameras and other personal or environmental monitoring systems. However, the task of personal monitoring in manufacturing is a rather a challenging task from the real-time processing point of view, starting from the quality of data that can be acquired from the monitoring system, till the complexity of the situations that should be considered from the safety point of view (their detection and the reaction on them).
