Perceive · Reason · Decide · Act
From perception to action — the outcomes our agents are measured on.
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| PPE Compliance Monitoring | PPE Compliance Rate | Detect missing hard hats, hi-vis, harnesses, gloves and footwear at gates and active work areas in real time. |
| Fall & Edge Protection | Fall Incident Rate | Flag work at height without harness anchorage, missing edge protection and unguarded floor openings. |
| Exclusion & Lift Zones | Near-Miss Rate | Enforce exclusion zones under crane lifts, around excavators and near live plant with instant escalation. |
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| Work-in-Place Tracking | Schedule Variance | Compare observed installed work against programme to surface slippage weeks before it shows in reports. |
| Equipment Utilisation | Plant Idle Time | Measure active versus idle time for cranes, excavators and hoists to right-size plant on site. |
| Labour Presence | Crew Deployment Accuracy | Anonymous headcount by zone and trade to reconcile planned versus actual manning. |
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| As-Built Verification | Rework Rate | Visual checks on rebar, formwork and services before pour or closure, with timestamped evidence. |
| Method Statement Adherence | Permit Compliance Rate | Confirm permit-to-work conditions — barricades, spotters, fire watch — are actually in place before work starts. |
| Function | KPI | AI enhancement |
|---|---|---|
| After-Hours Intrusion | Security Incidents | Perimeter and compound intrusion detection outside working hours with verified alerts and clip evidence. |
| Material & Plant Theft | Material Loss Value | Detect unauthorised removal of materials, tools and fuel from laydown areas and compounds. |
| Gate & Delivery Tracking | Delivery Turnaround Time | ANPR at site gates with automatic logging of deliveries, dwell time and vehicle movements. |
Construction sites change every single day. Crews rotate, subcontractors come and go, and the layout that was safe on Monday is a hazard by Thursday. Supervisors cannot be on every level at once.
Vision agents run on the cameras already installed on gates, towers and floors — enforcing safety rules, measuring real progress against programme, and holding an auditable record of what happened on site and when.
// Key applications
// How the system works
Tower, gate, hoist and temporary cameras are onboarded over RTSP or ONVIF — no new hardware programme.
Zones, exclusion areas and work fronts are re-drawn as the build progresses, so rules follow the actual layout.
Safety officers and site engineers receive verified alerts with clip evidence on WhatsApp, Teams or SMS in seconds.
Events, headcount and progress observations sync into the daily report, HSE register and project system of record.

// Case snapshots
Challenge · Compliance was checked on walk-arounds, so unsafe work at height was usually found after the fact.
Challenge · Material and fuel losses from the laydown yard were only discovered at the next shift start.

Use cameras to catch defects, enforce PPE, and keep production lines moving with fewer manual inspections.
Track every item from dock to truck with cameras and RFID. Stop misloads, cut dwell time, and prove chain of custody.
Use existing cameras to monitor shelves, queues, and store traffic. Reduce stockouts, wait times, and shrink.
Turn existing cameras into safety, progress, and traffic monitors for construction sites and public assets.
Watch pit, plant, and haul roads to enforce safety, estimate stockpile volumes, and detect process faults.
We'll map your KPIs to the agents that move them, then run a pilot on the cameras you already have.
