InHand Networks Introduces Edge-Based, On-Site AI Decision-Making for Safety Management at Large Construction Sites

While video surveillance is now standard on many major construction sites, improved visibility alone does not guarantee better prevention. The challenge is often response latency: manual review, confirmation, and escalation can take time. Cloud-only video analytics can also be constrained by job-site realities such as uneven connectivity, variable bandwidth, and changing camera coverage.

InHand's approach is designed to bring the decision loop closer to where hazards occur by processing video streams on site. By running AI analysis locally, the system is intended to support near real-time detection of common safety risks - such as PPE compliance issues, restricted-zone intrusion, and smoke/fire indicators - and to trigger event-based actions, including notifications through management dashboards or mobile workflows. Relevant event evidence can be retained for post-incident review, safety training, and reporting.

Why edge-based, on-site decision-making matters

• Faster response: reduces delays between detection and intervention

• More resilient operations: keeps safety detection running even when connectivity fluctuates

• Lower bandwidth dependency: avoids continuously uploading every camera stream

• Flexible deployment: supports coverage expansion as projects and zones change over time
