Seeing the inefficiency in current human intensive on-site supervision, we want to develop a system that can help our clients to monitor site safety more efficiently. Our solution is a computer-vision based solution for automated site condition and safety monitoring. This system can fuse with existing CCTV system on site so the cost can be minimized, and it can provide 3 major functionalities: 1) Automated site safety monitoring and analytic. 2) Integration with DWSS in safety report drafting. 3) Comprehensive site analysis with multi-cameras tracking. Owners of any construction projects, like governments and developers, will be our targeted customers.
