Construction Security Monitoring-Facade Railings
Facade Railing Safety Monitoring: AI Computer Vision & Edge AI for High-Rise Construction Site Safety
Executive Overview
Facade Railing Safety Monitoring is an enterprise computer vision and edge AI solution that turns ordinary construction-site CCTV into a continuous occupational safety monitor. Falls from height caused by missing, displaced or non-compliant perimeter railings remain a leading cause of serious workplace injuries on high-rise sites, and periodic manual walkthroughs leave blind spots exactly where railings are removed for material delivery or concreting. The software detects active building perimeter zones, verifies that temporary facade safety barriers are present and correctly installed, and triggers alerts to supervisors when a breach is detected. Built on the AI-Systems EYE Platform.
Neural & Technological Stack
Edge computer vision: on-site industrial compute nodes run optimised CNN inference (TensorRT, CUDA, Docker) on RTSP streams from fixed and PTZ cameras at up to 30 FPS, without relying on cloud bandwidth
Detection and segmentation: deep CNNs (YOLO, Mask R-CNN) identify active slab edges, guardrail presence, vertical post spacing and railing height against safety standards
Robust in hard conditions: low light, glare, dust, precipitation and complex building geometry
Active learning: site engineers annotate examples and fine-tune models for custom railing designs without coding
Alerting: visual and acoustic alarms on the supervisor's automated workstation; push notifications and incident reports by SMS, corporate messengers and email; detection and alarm dispatch in under one second
Audit trail: archive of verified incident frames instead of continuous raw footage, with cryptographic validation of images and video for compliance audits
Integration: REST API, WebSocket, RabbitMQ; site access control systems (ACS) and safety management consoles
Stack: Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, React, CentOS Linux
Target Industry Verticals
General contractors and high-rise developers, commercial, residential and industrial builders, heavy civil and infrastructure construction (highways, bridges, pipelines, utility and power lines), occupational health and safety (HSE) inspection agencies, and construction safety regulators.

Deployment & Licensing Matrix
Delivery models: SaaS (hosted management and dashboard) or On-Premises (edge compute nodes, dashboard and archive on your site infrastructure); video analysis always runs at the edge
Licence: standalone out-licensing with milestone-based payments; the same price applies to both delivery models
Requirements: existing fixed or PTZ IP cameras with RTSP; industrial edge compute node (reference specification below)
Integration: access control systems, enterprise messengers, SMS and email, REST API and WebSocket
Maturity: TRL 9 (proven in operation; successfully deployed in industry)
Price: €72,000, excluding sales tax
Annual maintenance and technical support: 15–20% of the base licence cost (model re-training on your site data, edge container updates, 24/7 level 2/3 support, periodic accuracy calibration)
