A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all at Evercam!
December 20, 2019
In an industry steeped in tradition, the construction sector upholds time-honoured methods. As the digital age advances, technological innovations are starting to overcome these traditional norms. Among these innovations, Artificial Intelligence (AI), stands out, enhancing operational efficiencies, accuracy, and safety in construction.
The adoption of AI in construction isn’t merely a trendy nod to modernization but a requisite to remain competitive and meet the escalating demands for efficiency and precision. Reality Capture Technology, powered by AI, emerges as a key component in this modernization effort, creating a channel between the physical and digital worlds of construction projects. Reality Capture uses AI to turn real-world data into useful digital insights, giving construction teams better visibility than ever before.
AI’s relentless advancement challenges the status quo, accelerating new possibilities. The construction industry benefits immensely from this rapid technological evolution. Integrating AI-powered Reality Capture with existing methodologies promises a long-term partnership, reshaping construction management and enabling augmented visibility and informed decision-making.
At Evercam, the power of Reality Capture comes to life, providing a detailed look at construction sites and making project management more analytical, opening up opportunities that weren’t considered before. By adding AI to Reality Capture, Evercam significantly improves how we see and understand construction sites, going beyond just being a tool, and showing a new, forward-thinking way to change how construction management is done. The AI-driven analysis from Evercam gives a complete view of the construction site, providing important insights that help in making quick data-driven decisions, allocating resources, and reducing risks.
Evercam’s AI reality capture and project management integrated tools can be used to analyse data from a construction site to identify any issues that may be slowing down the work. For example, if a crucial piece of machinery is malfunctioning thereby reducing downtime and affecting the critical path of the project, the live view is used to identify the issue and resolve it faster.
Disputes often arise in construction over work quality or timelines. For instance, if there’s a disagreement about the quality of work done on a particular day, Evercam’s video recording feature can provide clear footage of the work done, helping to resolve the dispute quickly and fairly.
Evercam’s Live View allows project managers to monitor the site in real time from anywhere. For example, a manager could be in a meeting off-site but still be able to check on the progress of work on-site, ensuring that work is going as planned and safety protocols are being followed.
Creating a solid record of project progress is crucial for accountability and communication. With Evercam’s High-Resolution Recording, for instance, any stakeholder can review the work done on any given day, which is helpful for both internal reviews and communicating with clients. Evercam’s Time-lapse and Edit Tool can help create visual progress reports. For example, creating a time-lapse video of a building being constructed over several months can provide a clear and engaging overview of how work is progressing.
Evercam edit toolEvercam’s features like Zoom and BIM Integration allow a more detailed analysis of the ongoing work. For example, comparing the real-time images of construction progress with the original Building Information Modeling (BIM) plans to ensure that the work aligns with the design.
The development of AI in the construction industry is a critical turning point that is challenging the traditional methods that have long dominated the sector. As demonstrated by Evercam, AI-powered Reality Capture Technology is no longer an abstract concept, but a real-world asset that is driving real-time operational efficiencies on construction sites.
The seamless integration of the physical and digital worlds through this technology is part of a larger narrative of modernization that goes beyond mere competitive advantage and becomes a necessity for navigating the complexities of today’s construction projects. Integrating digital prowess with time-honored construction practices promises safer, more efficient, and insightful operations.
