CASE STUDY:
Using AI to manage project risk at scale
Newmetrix’s AI engine, Vinnie, provides dashboards that help rank projects by potential risk factors. Vinnie uses construction-specific visual AI models that have been trained to identify indicators of risk in photos, video and other project data. We complement your human-based observations with an AI perspective. Both are necessary for understanding risk and deciding where to focus your attention.
Vinnie presents report results to risk and project teams in two forms: executive dashboard and project-level reports.
“I firmly believe we can prevent incidents by looking at photos alone - if you’re seeing a high rate of Vinnie observations for PPE or other issues that is like an independent auditor reviewing your jobs. Predicting incidents is the next phase, and we’re excited about the potential there, but even today the trend data we’re getting from Vinnie is helping us figure out where we need to focus our attention."
