Embarking on a construction project brings excitement, yet the concern over safeguarding valuable materials looms large. Construction sites, vulnerable by nature, grapple with the pervasive issue of theft, with 11,504 reported burglaries on U.S. construction sites in 2021 alone.

Key Concerns: Construction sites harbor a multitude of valuable assets – from power tools to machinery, wood, and metals – all ripe for theft due to lax security measures. Common drivers behind construction theft include the ease of selling stolen materials, absence of robust asset management systems, inadequate surveillance, and disorganized inventory control.

Top 5 Causes of Construction Site Theft: 1️. Inadequate security protocols 2️. Opportunistic resale of stolen goods 3️. Lack of effective asset management systems 4️. Insufficient surveillance measures 5️. Poor inventory management practices

Preventative Measures: 1️. Secure equipment and materials: Store critical items in locked areas inaccessible to unauthorized personnel. 2️. Deploy security cameras and alarms: Deter criminal activity and furnish evidential support in theft cases. 3️. Conduct routine site inspections: Identify vulnerabilities and bolster overall site safety. 4️. Establish a comprehensive reporting system: Track missing tools and swiftly address theft incidents. 5️. Provide antitheft training for staff: Heighten awareness and foster trust within the organization.

At VisoSafe Technologies, we recognize the gravity of these security challenges. Our mission is to revolutionize the construction industry by leveraging the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computer Vision. Through cutting-edge algorithms, we analyze specific site conditions, factors, and phases.

Our flagship solution, the YOLO-v5 neural network, is a customizable AI and computer vision-based construction management system. It detects various types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) worn by workers, identifies hazardous zones, and recognizes on-site personnel using facial and object recognition technology. By proactively alerting the construction team to potential hazards, our system not only mitigates liability but also enhances efficiency and saves lives – crucial considerations in the construction realm.
