Transparency of Deliveries and Storage on Construction Sites: Smart Logistics Automated with Visual Evidence

Type Open Call No.Funds granted
Twin AEOC 3€100,000

Challenge

The proposed project addresses the problem of limited visibility and control over material delivery and storage on construction sites. Some of the specific issues include:

  • Disinformation due to human errors during delivery control at the entry gate.
  • Lack of visibility where materials were unloaded.
  • Overloaded storage yards due to uncontrolled overstock.

All these factors prevent effective management of site logistics, contributing to construction waste accumulation, additional costs and downtime.

Solutions provided

ProperGate and Evercam aim to develop a demonstrator prototype of a two-way integration between their proprietary systems, supporting users from the construction industry (logistics personnel, planners & schedulers, site management) in monitoring material deliveries and managing storage on construction sites. The proposed solution will enhance ProperGate smart logistics plans & delivery records with Evercam visual evidence. The developed workflows will automate the repeatable operations on the construction site, decreasing the dependence on personnel on site.

Consortium strength

Evercam brings to this project a construction camera system overlooking the entire site and extracting relevant details. The system provides construction teams with verification tools based on images and videos, improving their visibility of the site. Evercam’s strong development team leverages competencies in Machine Learning, Computer Vision and UX.

ProperGate has vast experience in developing configurable solutions for processing and exchanging data related to deliveries and materials on the construction site. This partner’s hands-on experience with project stakeholders and suppliers will be invaluable for the project to be fully aligned with the industry needs. ProperGate has experienced team of developers, that will be working on two-way system integrations building structural alignments between the two complementary products.

Business development

There is a strong potential to impact the construction industry with productivity advantages as this market urgently needs to improve efficiency to stay competitive and sustainable. The proposed solution fits well with Evercam and ProperGate portfolios, as it enhances the usefulness of their respective systems. By harnessing the potential of currently available and breakthrough technologies, project partners will bring much-needed analytics and automation to the current delivery & logistics workflows, improving transparency and efficiency on site. In this way, we will make up for some of the productivity gap that the industry suffers from today.

Companies involved

Evercam increases construction productivity by improving project visibility and team communications. To do this, we build tools that capture the big picture, surface the relevant details and encourage collaboration. For this purpose, Evercam offers fixed-position camera solutions with a unique focus on construction. Our cloud-based dashboards are rich in visibility tools, including innovative analytics based on computer vision and deep learning. We have a strong position in the UK and Irish markets and are scaling internationally.
