Each site ran its own CCTV with no shared standard, so head office could not compare safety performance between sites.
Eight metro construction sites unified under one safety dashboard
A metro contractor rolled out 260 cameras on XCORE-32 appliances, combining PPE detection, danger-zone alarms and face-based labour attendance.
Project snapshot
The essentials at a glance.
| Industry | Construction |
| Scale | 8 sites · 260 cameras · 1 central dashboard |
| Hardware | XCORE-32, XCORE-16, XCAN VMS / Cloud |
| Key algorithms | Safety Helmet Detection, Safety Harness Detection, Restricted Zone Intrusion, Face Recognition |
The challenge
What the site was dealing with before deployment.
Labour attendance for dozens of subcontractors was recorded on paper, which made payroll disputes common.
What we deployed
The configuration and how it was rolled out.
- A standard channel template was defined once and replicated across all eight sites on XCORE-32 appliances.
- Helmet, vest and harness detection applied at gates and at height-work areas; danger zones drawn around crane and excavation areas.
- Face recognition at every site gate tied each worker to a subcontractor for automatic attendance.
- All sites report into a single XCAN VMS deployment managed from head office.
Results
Measured outcomes after go-live.
- PPE compliance improved 31% within two months of go-live.
- Attendance disputes dropped sharply after face-based records replaced paper sheets.
- Head office can now rank sites on the same safety metrics for the first time.

PPE and zone protection across a 45-camera auto-parts plant
A tier-1 automotive supplier deployed XCORE-16 boxes to enforce helmet and vest rules and keep workers out of robot cells, replacing manual patrols.
34 unmanned substations protected without adding guards
Intrusion, fire-smoke and loitering detection on XCORE-16 appliances turned remote substations into monitored, self-reporting sites.
A 12-kitchen central kitchen chain stops hygiene breaches at source
Uniform, mask, glove and pest detection runs on XCORE-8 boxes in every kitchen, pushing violations to the quality team and to public screens.
