AI DRIVEN AUTOMATED VIDEO MONITORING FOR CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

VisionBot is a platform that leverages the scalability and availability of cloud services to offer computer vision based solutions. Visionbot helps businesses get the most out of their visual content, thereby deriving powerful insights and driving decision making. Designed as a cloud based Software-as--Service(SaaS) model, Visionbot lets you start using the system with minimal investment. Visionbot can also be offered as an on-premise service in Hybrid/Private Cloud/Data Centre for enterprise requirements. It is an adaptive platform and learns on its own. Same time, Visionbot also expects you to provide outcomes, as in, what and how you would want Visionbot to report what it observes, depending on the use case.

AUTOMATION IN VISUAL MONITORING

There are several use cases of Visual Monitoring for the Construction sector. With its wide stretch of land and real estate variety of vehicles and equipment and large number of workers and supervisors, visual monitoring of assets and human resources helps address both occupational safety and operational efficiency.

Therefore construction sector has several use cases where Automated Visual Monitoring is a compelling need. Visionbot helps automating several functions in construction that are tedious/dangerous for humans or erroneous under human monitoring. It is also a cost efficient option where there is a need for large manpower:

  • Workplace safety and Compliance
  • Inventory Management
  • Routine and special inspections
  • Attendance and Accesscontrol

COMPLIANCE TO WEARING HELMETS AT SITES:

This is a task which is difficult to achieve through human supervision alone. VisionBot can use cameras installed at the entrance as well as several critical spots to continuously keep monitoring the labourers and report on those who are not wearing helmets.

COMPLIANCE TO WEARING SAFETY BOOTS AT SITES

Inseveral countries, it is mandatory to wear industrial grade safety boots at hazardous spots. Just like VisionBot helmets, VisionBot can monitor this also.

AUTOMATING ATTENDANCE AND ACCESS CONTROL

VisionBot can potentially be used to record attendance of employees and contract staff.

COUNTING OF MANIFESTS/MATERIAL

In a general business sense, construction work involves inventory management of a number of costly items. VisionBot can continuously watch over the storage and movement of costly items at the construction sites.

ASSISTING WITH OTHER VISUAL INSPECTIONS:

Critical moving equipment such as pumps require daily visual inspection. These are routine manual tasks with no trail or records, thereby fixing the responsibility at a later point of time is impossible whereas violations will result in huge penalties and insurance costs. These can be automated and done 24x7x365 with tracking and recording using VisionBot.

IMPLEMENTATION

VisionBot can be implemented in two ways

On Premise Edge Computing

We recommend the On Premise Data Center mode for installations that have or likely to add a large number of cameras. Cameras are easily installed either through our partners or by third party service providers. VisionBot works with most modern IP CCTV camera systems subject to adequate ambient light conditions.

VisionBot server(s) will be installed at local Data Center over a network either cabled or over wide area wifi.

Cloud based implementation

For smaller sites or temporary sites we recommend an asset light implementation of VisionBot.

In thiscase there is no need of installing servers and data centre operations. Cameras can be directly interfaced to VisionBot cloud servers through appropriate internet routers. There is no upfront investments except cameras and switches. This configuration is highlypopular and effective as it can also connect multiple sites that provides senior executive 24X7 access to field data and visuals.

VisionBot is a scalable system that can be used to analyse hundreds of camera feeds. It is cloud based thereby ensuring that Enterprise staff can access the data and information anywhere and anytime. Simultaneous monitoring of hundreds of cameras across multiple locations also provides deep insights for strategic planning, resource management and improves operation efficiency of organisations.
