First Site Pilot
Use this page to understand the public buying model behind the First Site Pilot: what is included, what the customer provides, and what success should look like at final review.
The first Edgentik deployment should be a bounded, outcome-driven First Site Pilot.
The goal is not to deploy every feature. The goal is to prove that one site can move from setup to live safety operations with reviewed incidents, diagnostics and recovery, and a clear next-step decision.
What the First Site Pilot is for
The First Site Pilot should answer five practical questions:
- Can we get one site live without a fragile setup process?
- Can we define and deploy a small number of meaningful safety policies?
- Can operators review incidents from a live queue with enough context to act?
- Can the team investigate issues with enough context to act confidently?
- Can we produce final review materials that support stakeholder confidence?
Typical first scope
- 1 site
- 2 to 6 cameras
- 2 to 3 policy types
- incident queue and detail review
- diagnostics and safe recovery workflows
- final review materials
Choose the smallest useful combination. Do not try to prove everything at once.
What is included
- site setup and camera starting-point validation
- zone and policy configuration for the first workflow
- preflight and controlled go-live
- incident review workflow
- diagnostics when something behaves unexpectedly
- final review package and readiness materials
What the customer provides
- one target site
- one owner for safety or operations
- one technical point of contact
- camera access or camera feed details
- clear success criteria for the pilot
- a small number of initial rules to evaluate
Without those, pilots tend to drift.
What good looks like at final review
- one site is live
- at least one meaningful rule is running against real feeds
- incidents can be reviewed in a live queue
- rollout or device issues can be diagnosed without guesswork
- the team can generate a final review package for buyer review
That is enough to move from “it works” to “it’s operational.”
Best first use cases
- PPE compliance in defined zones
- restricted-zone intrusion
- dwell or loitering in sensitive areas
- installer/site readiness and deployment review
What not to do in the first site
- trying to cover too many policy types at once
- attempting a multi-site rollout immediately
- turning the pilot into a broad transformation project
- expanding before the first site has a clean operating loop
