Description
This programme of work, initially focussed on tool theft but expanding to include knife detection, has two components that are operationally distinct but technically inseparable. The first is a time-limited pilot to develop and test AI-enabled approaches to tool theft, with a formal go/no-go decision at or before month twelve on whether the approach is sufficiently accurate, cost-effective, and scalable to justify a production procurement. The second is the technical infrastructure required to conduct that pilot within the College's security, governance, and data residency requirements.
