Vivotek and dechant mark a milestone in safety at construction sites

By combining cutting-edge cameras, the AI analysis of Vivotek and the mobile flexibility, dechant has overcome safety challenges on its works, guaranteeing the protection of projects and assets.

Vivotek has partnered with dechant (civil and structural engineering), a family construction company with more than 140 years of experience in the sector. Recognized for its expertise in exposed concrete construction, has contributed to landmark projects such as the German Bundestag and the Galileo control center.

With the aim of improving safety on construction sites, dechant turned to Vivotek to obtain a comprehensive security solution, facilitated by its subsidiary Compu-House.

The construction sector is often vulnerable to theft and vandalism, which results in financial losses and project delays. dechant se enfrentó a desafíos similares en sus obras, donde las grandes superficies y los materiales valiosos planteaban importantes riesgos de seguridad. Monitorear zonas tan extensas y responder a incidentes en tiempo real planteaba desafíos logísticos, especialmente de noche o en ubicaciones remotas.

Para abordar estos desafíos, Vivotek desarrolló una solución de seguridad basada en IA integrada con la torre de seguridad SEC-Watch de dechant, un sistema móvil diseñado específicamente para la seguridad en obras de construcción.

Al combinar la tecnología de Vivotek con la flexibilidad de la torre SEC-Watch, dechant pudo abordar eficazmente sus necesidades de seguridad específicas, estableciendo un nuevo estándar en la protección de obras de construcción.

La solución backend proporcionada por artec AG, socio de Vivotek, garantiza una integración perfecta y una gestión centralizada de las transmisiones de vídeo y los datos analíticos.

Con la nueva infraestructura se ha mejorado la seguridad, ya que la monitorización en tiempo real y el análisis impulsado por IA disuaden el robo y el vandalismo; se ha conseguido una mayor eficiencia de costos, con una reducción de pérdidas financieras por robo y minimización de demoras en el proyecto; y flexibilidad, ya que las torres de video móviles se pueden reubicar a medida que evolucionan las necesidades del proyecto. Y, besides, se dispone de una mayor fiabilidad, dado que se garantiza un funcionamiento ininterrumpido en todas las condiciones climáticas.

Vivotek's innovative security solution, integrated with Dechant's SEC-Watch tower, has marked a milestone in construction site security. By combining cutting-edge cameras, AI analytics, and mobile flexibility, Dechant has overcome construction site security challenges, ensuring the protection of projects and assets.

“Equipping construction sites with cutting-edge technology is not just about security; it's about enabling progress and ensuring the safety of those building our future”, says Johann Steuer, founder of Compu-House.
