AI Solution

The contractor deployed an AI-powered safety software platform integrated with mobile devices, wearables, and their project management system to ensure proactive measures.

  • AI Insight: The platform flags risks daily so the field supervisor can adapt the daily safety briefing emphasizing potential safety concerns such as weather or a crowded jobsite.
  • Predictive Dashboard: AI dashboard highlights that workers have reported more fatigue over the past 5 days via the mobile check-in app. Field supervisor can coordinate breaks and rotate tasks. The solution logs the proactive change.
  • IoT + AI Alert: An AI-analyzed vibration sensor detects unusual movement in an equipment setup suspending work and initiating an inspection.
  • Computer Vision in Action: AI-integrated cameras detect workers without fall harnesses. Field supervisor receives a mobile alert and addresses in real time.
