Monitor jobsite activity, safety, progress, and logistics with AI-driven solutions.

Site monitoring AI analyzes cameras, drones, IoT, and access/control data to track safety, progress, and logistics. Systems must be privacy-aware, bias-audited, and integrated into EHS and PM workflows.

Provide timely, trustworthy visibility into site conditions to reduce risk, delays, and costs.

Fixed/mobile cameras, drones, IoT sensors, access logs, BIM models, schedules – a comprehensive data stream.

Object/pose detection, activity recognition, progress estimation versus BIM/schedule, anomaly detection, logistics tracking.

Dashboards, alerts, heatmaps, timelines, and integrations to PM/EHS tools.

Detect unauthorized entry and time on site.

Monitor noise, dust, vibration, temperature, and humidity levels.

Provide evidence for claims and change orders.

Frequently asked questions

How can cameras, drones, and IoT devices be integrated with BIM models and schedules?

Integrating these technologies requires synchronization of data streams, secure storage protocols, robust retention and access controls, and comprehensive logging of alerts and actions.

What governance, safety, and explainability considerations are crucial for AI-driven site monitoring?

Crucially, a robust governance framework must be established, prioritizing safety protocols and ensuring the system’s outputs are understandable and transparent – essentially, Governance, Safety, and Explainability.

How should personal data (faces/PII) be handled to comply with privacy regulations?

To protect privacy, faces must be masked, consent mechanisms and signage must be implemented, and data retention periods should be strictly limited using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).

How can the AI’s findings be compared to BIM models and schedules for accurate analysis?

Establishing clear ‘evidence frames’ allows for direct comparisons between the AI’s observations and existing BIM/schedule data, facilitating informed decision-making.
