The construction industry operates in high-risk environments where worker safety is a constant challenge. Heavy machinery, unpredictable site conditions, and human errors are the reasons for the workplace accidents. Ensuring safety without compromising efficiency requires a proactive approach.

To address this, Prowesstics implemented an AI-powered vision analytics system that enables real-time monitoring and intelligent hazard detection. This innovative solution not only enhanced safety compliance but also significantly reduced workplace accidents.

Problem Statement

Construction sites are dynamic environments where the interaction between workers and heavy machinery poses constant safety risks. Traditional safety measures, such as manual supervision and static surveillance, are often reactive rather than proactive, leaving gaps in hazard detection and response. Key safety challenges include:

• Identifying workers moving near industrial vehicles in real time.
• Reducing accident risks through automated, intelligent alerts.
• Ensuring compliance with stringent workplace safety regulations.

To address these critical concerns, an innovative AI-driven approach is necessary.
