Automatic identification of missing personal protective equipment

The platform scans every frame of incoming video to detect whether workers are wearing hard hats, high-visibility vests, safety glasses, and other required gear. When a worker enters a zone without proper equipment, the system flags the event immediately rather than waiting for a supervisor to notice.

Business outcome: Drives consistent PPE compliance across all shifts and subcontractors without requiring dedicated safety personnel at every location.

Detection of unsafe actions and hazardous conditions

Beyond PPE, SmartVid.io identifies risky behaviors such as workers standing under suspended loads, improper ladder setup, blocked emergency exits, or unauthorized access to restricted zones. The system learns normal site patterns and flags deviations that could indicate developing hazards.

Business outcome: Reduces the likelihood of high-severity incidents by catching dangerous situations in real time rather than after an injury occurs.

Instant notifications when risks are detected

When the platform identifies a safety concern, it sends alerts to designated safety managers and site supervisors via mobile push, email, or within the Autodesk Construction Cloud dashboard. This enables immediate intervention — a supervisor can address a missing harness situation before the worker climbs to an unsafe height.

Business outcome: Shortens the gap between hazard occurrence and corrective action, reducing the window of exposure for workers.

Aggregated safety data across projects and timeframes

SmartVid.io compiles detection events into dashboards that show which types of violations occur most frequently, on which projects, and during which phases of construction. This data helps safety teams identify systemic issues — for example, a particular subcontractor consistently failing on fall protection — and target training or enforcement efforts accordingly.

Business outcome: Transforms safety from reactive incident tracking to data-driven risk management with measurable improvement over time.

Native connection to Autodesk Construction Cloud

Because SmartVid.io is built within the Autodesk ecosystem, safety data integrates directly with project management workflows, BIM models, and document control. Safety managers can correlate detected hazards with specific project phases, locations, or subcontractors without manual data entry or exporting reports.

Business outcome: Eliminates data silos between safety monitoring and project management, enabling a unified view of project health.

Batch analysis of site photos for compliance audits

In addition to live video, SmartVid.io can process batches of still images captured during daily site walks or inspections. This allows safety teams to audit historical compliance, generate reports for client reviews, or document safety conditions at specific project milestones without reviewing hours of footage.

Business outcome: Provides a scalable way to document safety compliance across large projects without manual photo review by safety staff.

• Purpose-built for construction safetyUnlike general video analytics tools, SmartVid.io is trained specifically on construction site scenarios, so it understands the difference between a worker taking a break and a worker in a danger zone.
• Native Autodesk ecosystem integrationFirms already using Autodesk Construction Cloud gain seamless data flow between safety monitoring and project management without third-party connectors.
• Real-time intervention capabilityThe alert system enables immediate corrective action, which is the core value proposition — catching hazards before they become incidents.
• Scalable across multiple projectsSafety managers can monitor dozens of active sites from a single dashboard, which is impractical with manual inspection approaches.

• Requires existing camera infrastructureThe platform is only as effective as the camera coverage on your jobsites — sites without adequate visual monitoring will not benefit.
• Enterprise-only pricing and accessSmaller contractors or single-project firms may find the contract-based pricing and Autodesk dependency prohibitive compared to simpler safety tools.
• False positive managementLike all computer vision systems, SmartVid.io can generate false alerts from shadows, equipment movement, or unusual site conditions that require human judgment to resolve.
• Professional RealitySmartVid.io is a monitoring and alerting tool, not an enforcement mechanism — it cannot replace the judgment and intervention of trained safety professionals on the ground.

Large commercial general contractor managing 10+ active projects

A safety director overseeing multiple high-rise or infrastructure projects can use SmartVid.io to maintain visibility into safety conditions across all sites from a single dashboard, prioritizing attention where alerts are most frequent.

Safety compliance documentation for high-liability clients

Firms working for clients with strict safety requirements (such as pharmaceutical or data center construction) can generate automated compliance reports showing that PPE and safe behaviors were maintained throughout the project lifecycle.

Subcontractor safety performance tracking

General contractors can use trend data to evaluate which subcontractors consistently maintain safe practices and which require additional training or oversight, informing future subcontractor selection decisions.

Incident investigation and root cause analysis

When incidents do occur, SmartVid.io provides recorded footage and detection logs that help safety teams reconstruct events and identify contributing factors, supporting more effective corrective action planning.
