Project Summary:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The PPE detection system is a vital component in enhancing workplace safety, particularly in the construction sector where ensuring the well-being of the workforce is critical for both employee health and production efficiency<\/font><\/strong>. In the civil engineering industry, safety is a non-negotiable constraint. Given the challenging task of individually inspecting workers in construction, our solution involves a real-time detection system to ascertain whether essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)<\/font><\/strong> is being worn. This not only streamlines safety procedures but also provides timely instructions to workers, ensuring compliance and fostering a safer and more efficient work environment.<\/p>\n\n\n

Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The challenge is to improve the accuracy of real-time entrance monitoring in construction areas, where relying solely on human observation may lead to oversight of individuals not wearing essential safety gear. This oversight can result in significant direct costs like medical bills, equipment damage, litigation, and regulatory fines, as well as indirect costs such as expenses for hiring replacement workers, missed deadlines penalties, and corrective measure implementation.<\/font><\/strong> <\/font>To address this, there is a need for a cost-effective and versatile system that can concurrently handle networking tasks while performing real-time PPE detection. The deployment of such a multifunctional device has the potential to enhance accuracy and efficiency, reducing the overall impact of safety lapses in construction environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The solution involves the implementation of a highly effective Raspberry Pi-powered reTerminal DM with a built-in camera<\/a><\/strong> at the entrance of the construction site. This setup provides an ideal solution for real-time monitoring, as it enables the system to capture and analyze individuals entering the site. To ensure the correct usage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), a civil construction guard is stationed at the entrance, leveraging the power of the YOLOv5n <\/font><\/strong>deep neural network architecture in TFLite<\/font><\/strong> version. This configuration, optimized for Raspberry Pi-powered reTerminal DM, achieves an impressive performance of 10 frames per second (FPS)<\/font><\/strong>. Furthermore, by incorporating a Coral TPU<\/font><\/strong>, the system can achieve an enhanced speed of 20 FPS<\/font><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
