Learn how Synaptiq’s dynamic machine vision solution for improving construction site productivity and safety delivered comprehensive business impact by prioritizing people and places.
Problem:
Synaptiq’s client, a large multinational construction company, wanted to improve efficiencies, reduce costs, and recognize the value of tapping into data within their organization. The client had high-resolution cameras on live construction sites that produced rich image and video data. They believed that leveraging these assets in new ways could improve cost and delivery efficiencies and feed into existing ERP systems.
How can AI in construction spark ideas for your business?
This solution can speed up or automate processes based on the awareness the machine vision provides; it can help with scheduling, finance streamlining, notification of upcoming events, and other automation, resulting in significant cost savings. Now is the time for AI in your industry.
Build your case for AISolution:
Synaptiq built a machine vision model that takes data from existing cameras (static images, time-lapse video recordings, and live video feeds) and provides automated image detections that can be used to monitor productivity and audit site safety.
Importantly, the model was built to be flexible, so that the client could select specific regions of interest in an image frame, and have the facility to add new types of objects to the model for training and detection in the future based on business needs. Our team provided documentation, training, and consulting on best practices for implementing and optimizing the model, which fed the data to a client-side dashboard. The client then used this dashboard to run reports, conduct analyses, and see patterns, so that they could make better-informed critical business decisions.
In summary, Synaptiq:
-
Built a machine vision model to monitor construction site activity remotely
-
Provided documentation, training, and consulting
-
Supplied data from our model to feed client dashboards for faster reporting and analysis
Outcome:
Our client identified many immediate applications for this AI services solution. By unlocking the image and video data pixel-by-pixel, they receive automatic alerts when a lumber shipment comes in, track who is on-site, and receive notifications if a contractor is not wearing PPE.
Detailed logs for each object are available as outputs for integration into existing back-end systems; this solution facilitates real-time monitoring and alerts related to project management, scheduling, health and safety, security, and other purposes.
400,000 US-based construction managers could improve efficiency, safety, and compliance.
