The Reality Gap: The Login Fallacy
In manufacturing and R&D, a valid login can open CAD files, formulas, and machine controls. The Login Fallacy assumes that once a user authenticates, only the right eyes see the data.
That is rarely true on shop floors, shared terminals, or in contractor-heavy environments.
Why SpiAlert Changes the Equation
- •Visual rights management: Only authorized engineers can view sensitive designs in real time.
- •No behavioral analytics: Presence is verified directly, not inferred.
- •Instant obfuscation: Screens blur when an unauthorized person enters view.
- •Works in dark sites: Continuous verification runs locally, even without cloud access.
- •Audit-ready logs: Presence events add clarity to IP investigations.
Where SpiAlert Helps
These are the manufacturing assets where visual exposure creates the biggest operational and IP risk.
OT/ICS Control Stations
- •Verifies the operator at HMI and SCADA consoles in real time.
- •Blurs instantly on walk-away or unauthorized presence.
- •Presence logs support safety and compliance reviews.
CAD & Design Workstations
- •Confirms a cleared engineer before designs are visible.
- •Obfuscates screens if a second face appears.
- •Reduces visual exposure of IP during quick walk-bys.
Shop-Floor Shared Kiosks
- •Touchless switching without shared passwords.
- •Locks screens the moment an operator steps away.
- •Prevents junior operators from viewing restricted controls.
Supplier & ODM Access
- •Verifies partner identity during design reviews and file access.
- •Blocks extra viewers in shared vendor spaces.
- •Proof-of-presence logs support IP investigations.
Remote & Traveling Engineers
- •Keeps CAD sessions visible only to verified users in home offices, plants, and client sites.
- •Blurs screens in public or shared environments.
- •On-device verification works without constant connectivity.
ERP/MES Internal Ops
- •Keeps planning, inventory, and execution screens private.
- •Obfuscates on look-away to prevent shoulder surfing.
- •Logs presence during sensitive approvals.
Forensic Integrity
Presence logs connect IP access to verified engineers and blocked intrusions.
Active Prevention Beats Remediation
Visual exposure is reduced in real time, helping protect trade secrets.
Data Sovereignty by Design
Verification stays on-device. No IP, biometrics, video, or PII are collected or stored.
