What is Viact?
viAct's Smart Site Safety System (SSSS or 4S) is an AI-powered safety monitoring solution that reduces accidents and fatalities at critical jobsites, plants, and workplaces using AI, IoT, edge devices, and video analytics (computer vision). The system integrates with existing IP cameras and CCTV systems through an RTSP link, connecting to viAct's AI Cloud for real-time monitoring and alerts. It specially serves construction, oil & gas, smart cities, manufacturing, and mining industries with proactive digitization of safety monitoring to mitigate occupational injuries.
The platform features a centralized management platform called viHUB that integrates data from various site systems, offering mobile and desktop access with real-time alerts and device visualization. Key components include digitized permit-to-work (e-PTW/PTW) systems, site diary with digitized tracking for site plants and powered tools, hazardous areas access control with electronic lock and key systems, unsafe acts alert systems for mobile plant operations and tower crane lifting zones, PPE monitoring, confined space monitoring, danger zone access control, smart monitoring devices for workers (including smart watches), and safety training with virtual reality technology.
The system delivers measurable results with 90% reduction in workplace accidents, 95% enhanced transparency in workflow, and 90% effectiveness compared to manual surveillance. It provides real-time PPE detection, danger zone intrusion alerts, instant recognition of unsafe acts, confined space monitoring, operator fatigue and distraction tracking, and automated record keeping. The AI system continuously retrains for improved detection accuracy and supports digital twin technology for tailored training sessions reflecting unique job site risks.
This tool is designed for site managers, safety officers, project supervisors, and stakeholders who need to digitally monitor site safety performance, respond to hazards, and manage insights captured by AI cameras and IoT devices. The plug-and-play installation requires minimal to no AI expertise, making it accessible for site personnel with an intuitive interface and no significant learning curve.

Frequently asked questions about Viact
What is viAct's Smart Site Safety System (SSSS)?
The AI-powered Smart Site Safety System (4S) in Hong Kong revolutionizes construction site safety by employing advanced AI algorithms to detect and predict potential hazards in real time. Through constant monitoring of site activities, the centralized management platform (CMP) helps in swiftly identifying risks, enabling proactive interventions and fostering a culture of preventive safety measures thereby significantly reducing accidents and ensuring worker well-being.
How easy is it to install the 4S system?
The 4S construction software by viAct is extremely easy to install. viAct's scenario-based AI could be connected to existing CCTVs just with the RTSP link. It is designed in a way that anyone with minimal to no expertise in AI can install and use viAct's 4S construction system in a simple plug & play manner.
How does the digital PTW compare to traditional methods?
viAct's SSSS Construction system offers a significantly higher accuracy and reliability in providing digitalized Permit-to-Work (PTW) solutions as compared to traditional methods. By leveraging AI video analytics for real-time risk assessment and automated authorization processes, the AI powered workflow based digital PTW minimizes human error, expedites approvals, ensures compliance, and enhances overall safety protocol adherence, markedly surpassing the efficacy of manual PTW systems.
Is there a learning curve for using the platform?
The Construction Data Management Portal (CDMP) & the Centralized Management Platform (CMP) of viAct's 4S system is designed with an intuitive interface, ensuring there's no significant learning curve for site personnel. Its user-friendly dashboard offers clear, easy-to-understand visuals and functionalities, allowing seamless navigation and quick comprehension, eliminating the need for extensive training or specialized expertise.
Which industries can benefit from the 4S system?
4S construction system by viAct has adaptable AI-powered hazard detection capabilities that extends beyond construction and real-estate, benefiting industries like manufacturing, logistics, mining, and oil and gas. The smart features of viAct's SSSS Construction like the Construction Data Management Portal (CDMP), the Centralized Management Platform (CMP), Digitalized Permit-to-Work (PTW), Digital Works Supervision System (DWSS) helps in proactive risk identification and prevention mechanisms through instant reporting and record keeping despite of complex operational environments, reducing accidents and ensuring worker safety across diverse sectors.
What camera systems are compatible with viAct?
The system works with any IP camera and CCTV installed on-site. viAct's scenario-based AI connects to existing CCTVs just with the RTSP link, making it compatible with most standard surveillance camera systems already in place at jobsites.
What are the key safety features included?
The system includes 8 game-changing features: Centralized Management Platform for streamlined project handling, Digitized Permit-to-Work (PTW) for electronic document processing, Digitized Tracking System for real-time safety updates, PPE Detection powered by Computer Vision, Danger Zone Intrusion Alerts for restricted areas, Confined Space Monitoring for extreme conditions, Instant Recognition of Unsafe Acts, and Safety Training Modules in Virtual Reality for immersive learning.
How does the confined space monitoring work?
The Confined Space Monitoring System is designed for confined spaces and monitors worker locations, air quality, and potential gas hazards. Real-time alerts are sent to the centralized platform if any risks are detected. The AIoT powered portable viMOV by viAct tracks atmospheric changes, controls and monitors confined space entry access, and alerts for extreme temperatures by operating from the control room.
What happens when a safety violation is detected?
The Dangerous Situation Alert System instantaneously generates real-time alerts on detecting any safety non-compliance, unsafe act, or dangerous situation, enabling necessary preventive measures. These alerts can be customized to trigger specific responses, such as notifying safety personnel or initiating emergency protocols, thereby fostering a culture of safety awareness among workers.
Can the system be used for worker training?
Yes, captured insights recorded in the centralized management platform can be used to train workers about risky situations at jobsites associated with high-risk activities. Additionally, integrating digital twin technology enables the creation of a virtual replica of the actual jobsite, allowing for tailored training sessions that reflect the unique risks and layouts of specific environments, ensuring workers are better prepared for real-world challenges.
