Deploying an AI-Based Monitoring System in Construction
V G • Nov 06,2024
Summary:
The partnership with the technology company enabled the construction company to leverage AI technology for a safer, more efficient, and compliant work environment.
Client:
A leading construction company
Problem Statement:
The construction industry is notorious for its complex and dynamic environments, where safety incidents, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory compliance issues often lead to project delays, increased costs, and workforce injuries. Despite traditional measures, the company experienced frequent safety incidents, mainly due to non-compliance with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) regulations.
Company wanted to enhance on-site safety through the implementation of an AI-driven safety protocol monitoring system.
Results:
- Increased PPE compliance by over 50%.
- Significant reduction in safety incidents.
- Enabled targeted safety campaigns.
- Increased worker awareness.
AI Solution Overview:
The construction company collaborated with Play Tech Group to integrate an AI-driven monitoring system tailored for the construction environment. The solution combined real-time video analytics, predictive modeling, and advanced data analytics. Key components included:
- Real-Time Video Surveillance: AI-powered cameras monitored activities across construction sites, automatically identifying hazards like unsafe worker behavior, lack of protective gear, and machinery malfunctions.
- Predictive Analytics: The AI system analyzed data from past incidents and project timelines to predict potential bottlenecks, delays, or safety risks, allowing for proactive mitigation.
- Automated Compliance Reporting: The system automated compliance reporting, making it easier to track and meet regulatory requirements while reducing the administrative burden on site managers.
In the process of implementation, Play Tech Group conducted a thorough assessment of the company’s needs, challenges, and operational setup, customizing the AI system accordingly.
The system was deployed on a single large-scale site to test its effectiveness and gather feedback.
Staff, including site managers and workers, were trained on system usage and how to respond to AI-generated alerts.
