360-Degree Monitoring for Safer Worksites: The VESS Approach

The Vehicle Proximity Edge Sensor Solution (VESS) is an advanced technology designed to enhance safety in construction and worksites. Featuring a 360-degree camera integrated with AI-powered edge computing, VESS aims to minimise accidents by monitoring hazardous zones around heavy equipment. With high accuracy and minimal false alarms, the solution gives prompt alerts and ensures workers stay safe while working in the areas with limited visibility. By processing video data locally, it avoids the need for constant server communication, offering low-latency, cost-effective performance in demanding environments. 

VESS stands out due to its real-time edge-based monitoring, providing comprehensive 360-degree visual coverage that mitigates blind spots—a common cause of construction site accidents. Unlike traditional systems, it reduces the need for extensive wiring, cutting costs. 

 

The AI technology’s accuracy helps ensure alerts are both relevant and timely. VESS automates record-keeping and capturing images of workers in danger zones, which are then uploaded to a secure cloud server. The system also sends immediate notifications to safety officers, enabling quick responses to safety incidents. 

VESS proves invaluable in worksites where heavy machinery operates, enhancing operators’ awareness of their surroundings. The system’s ability to transmit incident data to a remote backend through cellular networks ensures comprehensive overview and fast emergency responses. Its implementation enables companies to manage work hazards effectively, supporting a safer working environment.
