Progress AI enhancing construction site management through drone data.
DroneDeploy has introduced Progress AI, an innovative tool that automates construction progress tracking using data from drones and 360-degree cameras. This new technology enhances jobsite visibility, reduces reliance on manual updates, and significantly lowers costs. With features like a natural-language interface and impressive accuracy, Progress AI allows teams to monitor construction status in real-time, making it easier to manage projects ranging from hospitals to solar farms. Currently in early access, it will be widely available in October as an add-on for existing DroneDeploy customers.
DroneDeploy has unveiled Progress AI, a cutting-edge artificial intelligence tool that promises to transform the way construction progress is tracked. This innovative solution uses data from drones and 360-degree cameras to automate the progress tracking process, ultimately reducing the time and effort required for manual updates.
The traditional methods of tracking construction progress often involve tedious manual notes, hand-marked drawings, and infrequent site photos. These methods can lead to missed critical issues and slow decision-making. With Progress AI, teams can expect to receive fast and reliable progress reports at a significantly lower cost than conventional tools, effectively streamlining the entire process.
This tool offers real-time visibility into job site conditions via visual intelligence, enabling project stakeholders such as superintendents to get a complete view of progress across all floors and trades in a matter of minutes. By harnessing the power of AI, the platform turns complex data into actionable insights that facilitate informed decision-making.
Progress AI employs advanced vision-language models trained on billions of square feet of real-world data. Users can easily upload images captured from drones or 360-degree cameras, and in mere minutes, the AI comprehensively identifies what has been constructed, including details on location and trades involved in the work.
The tool guarantees an impressive 95% accuracy in its progress reports, making it a reliable resource for construction teams. One of the defining features of Progress AI is its natural-language interface, which allows team members to ask questions verbally or via text, thereby receiving instant updates on specific progress-related inquiries.
The advantages of utilizing Progress AI are numerous:
Progress AI is versatile, suitable for various project sizes and types, including hospitals and solar farms. Its effectiveness contributes to easier progress tracking and management, ultimately enhancing overall project efficiency.
Preliminary users, including construction groups like Wharton-Smith, have reported substantial benefits from implementing Progress AI. The tool has proven instrumental in resolving issues and improving coordination among trades. Users have likened its capabilities to having an extra superintendent on-site, capable of capturing, analyzing, and ensuring that no detail goes unnoticed.
Specific instances have been highlighted where Progress AI improved operational efficiency by identifying installation problems early, thus avoiding potential rework that could delay project timelines. This proactive approach significantly enhances the management capabilities on construction sites.
Currently, Progress AI is available in early access and is set to be widely launched in October. It will function as an add-on for existing DroneDeploy Aerial and Ground customers.
