SiteSense Agent: The AI Brain of Your Construction Site

SiteSense Agent - Real-time Material Optimization System

What is SiteSense Agent?

SiteSense Agent is an AI-powered edge computing system that acts as the intelligent brain of your construction site. Deployed as a ruggedized edge node on cranes or poles, it continuously monitors site conditions, predicts material needs, and optimizes logistics in real-time.

Think of it as having a superintelligent site superintendent that never sleeps, sees everything, and makes data-driven decisions faster than humans can—reducing waste, preventing costly mistakes, and optimizing every delivery.

How SiteSense Agent Works

👁️

Computer Vision Monitoring

4K cameras with AI vision continuously scan the site, detecting rebar installation progress, formwork readiness, and concrete pouring status. The system calculates exact material volumes needed in real-time.

🌡️

IoT Sensor Integration

Wireless concrete sensors embedded in formwork transmit real-time temperature and curing data. The Agent knows exactly when previous pours are ready for the next cycle, preventing premature pours.

🌦️

Weather Intelligence

Hyper-local weather data integration prevents costly mistakes. If rain probability exceeds 60% in the next 4 hours, the Agent automatically recommends rescheduling pours, saving wasted material and truck trips.

🚚

Predictive Logistics

AI analyzes crew efficiency rates, current progress, and remaining volume to predict exact delivery windows. The system coordinates with supplier dispatch systems to ensure trucks arrive precisely when needed—no earlier, no later.

Real-World Example: Preventing Waste Before It Happens

07:00 AM - Site Scan

SiteSense Agent scans Zone A and detects rebar installation is 80% complete—not ready for pouring yet.

07:05 AM - Weather Check

Agent checks forecast: Heavy rain expected at 14:00. Risk assessment begins.

07:10 AM - AI Prediction

Analysis: Crew pace indicates readiness at 13:30. Rain starts at 14:00. Window too tight—high washout risk.

07:11 AM - Automatic Intervention

Alert sent to superintendent. Concrete truck scheduled for 13:00 automatically placed on hold. Result: Zero waste, zero rejected material.
