follow the guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CEG Alumnus Ragul Puhazhendi (Buzzark Simulations Founder), an
IIT-Madras incubated Start-up along with Sathyanarayanan Kamalraj

SMART (Social Distance Ensuring Mask Monitoring Pro-active Re-
visualization Technology), BUZZARK CCTV an Artificial Intelligence
system, was developed by the team of CEG Alumni which could identify
people wearing masks, distinguish between people maintain social
distancing and its violators.
Further the technology automatically detects people coming in close
contact of less than one meter distance and recognizes them.
Once the violators were identified by this technology, it would
automatically send notifications proactively and triggers alarms
at PA systems for people to be aware of the violations.
The team has already initiated talks with industries to scale
across different industrial verticals soon.
