Background and Objectives of the Field Test Safie Inc., the market leader in cloud recording services, collaborated with Shimizu Corporation, WebI, and KOLC to conduct a field test starting in December 2025 at the 'Tsurugamine Station Continuous Grade Separation Construction Project Section 1' in Yokohama. To address industry-wide issues such as excessive workloads for site supervisors and the inefficiency of manual photo logging and report generation, the four companies built an 'AI Construction Management System' using video data and AI.

System Mechanism and Key Features In this system, AI analyzes real-time video captured by the wearable cloud camera 'Safie Pocket2 Plus' installed at the site. Specifically, the system automatically measures the time and labor required for four key steps in pile-driving and related work: 'setup/machine prep,' 'drilling,' 'H-beam installation,' and 'mortar injection.' This data is structured and visualized on a browser-based dashboard. If there is a discrepancy between the plan and actual progress, the system automatically suggests optimal revisions to the construction schedule and material procurement requirements.

Advanced System Integration A major feature of this system is the high level of integration between platforms. The performance data obtained is synchronized via API with the BIM/CIM cloud 'KOLC+' for 4D simulation and the project management software 'Koutei's Orario.' As a result, when delays or changes occur, the system can perform one-stop execution of automatic schedule adjustments and material ordering timing updates, eliminating the need for manual, reactive updates in each system. This field test represents a significant step in establishing a prototype for an 'autonomous construction site' that utilizes real-time video and AI analysis.
