// Industry playbook / 04

Agents that watch the site, reason on risk, and act across infrastructure and cities

Turn existing cameras into safety, progress, and traffic monitors for construction sites and public assets.

Agents that move the value drivers your business runs on

From perception to action — the outcomes our agents are measured on.

Why agents, here

Vision agents deployed across industry playbook / 04 sites

Infrastructure projects and public assets generate enormous visual data and almost no structured insight. Vision agents close that gap by converting existing camera feeds into progress, safety and compliance events.

The same reasoning core that runs a factory line runs a construction site, a highway corridor or a municipal campus — tuned to each domain's vocabulary and oversight requirements.

// Key applications

What the agents actually do

Site safety & compliance

  • PPE compliance across gates, lifts and active work fronts
  • Restricted-area and working-at-height violations
  • Person-down and unsafe-behaviour detection with instant escalation

Progress & productivity

  • Activity monitoring and benchmarking by crew and zone
  • Automated object counting for deliveries and installed units
  • Idle-plant detection and equipment utilisation hours

Traffic & mobility

  • Junction and corridor flow analytics as virtual loop detectors
  • ANPR for access control, tolling and enforcement
  • Incident and stopped-vehicle detection on managed roads

Perimeter & asset protection

  • After-hours intrusion and loitering on unmanned sites
  • Material and equipment theft detection at storage laydowns
  • Fire, smoke and spill detection at critical facilities

// How the system works

From visual and passive data feeds to your system of record

  1. 01

    Deploy on existing infrastructure

    Runs against installed CCTV, ANPR and mobile cameras — edge boxes only where bandwidth or latency demands it.

  2. 02

    Zone and rule modelling

    Define hazard zones, walkways, lanes and asset boundaries once; agents apply them continuously across every feed.

  3. 03

    Human-in-the-loop oversight

    Every enforcement-grade decision carries clip evidence and an operator sign-off step, keeping outcomes auditable.

  4. 04

    Integrate with the systems of record

    Events flow into project management, EHS, ITS and asset-maintenance platforms via webhooks and APIs.

Results in the field

PPE compliance on a multi-contractor site

Challenge · Manual safety walks covered a fraction of the site and produced findings days late.

  • Continuous coverage of gates, lifts and active work fronts
  • Same-shift escalation to the responsible contractor
  • Trend reporting that shifted behaviour, not just paperwork

Corridor traffic analytics without new hardware

Challenge · A city needed junction-level flow data but had no budget for physical detectors.

  • Existing municipal cameras converted into virtual detectors
  • Queue length and turning-movement counts published continuously
  • Signal timing decisions backed by observed data
