Sino-German Smart Construction Site Project in Huangdao, Qingdao

Background

The Qingdao Huangdao Sino-German Smart Construction Site Project is a pioneering initiative designed to enhance construction safety management and operational efficiency through integrated artificial intelligence technologies. Faced with common industry challenges such as fire hazards, compliance issues, and inefficient manual supervision, the project team adopted an AI Algorithm Box to achieve a new level of intelligent site management.


Project Objectives

The core objectives of this project include:

Fire & Smoke Detection

Rapid and accurate identification of potential fire risks on site.

Helmet Detection

Ensuring that all personnel comply with mandatory helmet requirements.

Reflective Vest Detection

Monitoring whether workers are equipped with approved reflective safety vests.

Face Recognition

Managing site access control and attendance through smart identity verification.


Technical Implementation

Fire & Smoke Detection

The AI Algorithm Box analyzes live video feeds from surveillance cameras to detect fire or smoke in real time, enabling early warning and swift response to potential hazards.

Helmet Detection

Using advanced image recognition, the system automatically checks if workers are wearing safety helmets, reducing risk and increasing compliance.

Reflective Vest Detection

Through intelligent video analysis, the system confirms that all personnel on site are wearing reflective vests, significantly improving visibility and nighttime safety.

Face Recognition

Integrated face recognition technology manages entry/exit permissions and attendance, streamlining workforce supervision and improving personnel management.


Implementation Steps

1. Technology Deployment

High-definition cameras were installed in critical areas across the site and connected to the AI Algorithm Box.

2. System Integration

AI modules were seamlessly integrated with the existing safety and administrative systems to enable centralized monitoring, data sharing, and rapid incident response.

3. Continuous Optimization

Algorithms and system configurations were continuously adjusted based on onsite performance to enhance detection accuracy and operational efficiency.


Expected Outcomes

  • Significantly enhanced safety management, enabling proactive identification and mitigation of safety risks.

  • Improved operational efficiency by reducing manual oversight and minimizing human error.

  • Optimized workforce management through intelligent access control and automated attendance tracking.


Conclusion

By implementing the AI Algorithm Box, the Qingdao Huangdao Sino-German Smart Construction Site Project has set a new benchmark for intelligent construction management. This successful deployment demonstrates how AI-driven safety solutions can transform traditional construction sites into smarter, safer, and more efficient working environments.
