Productivity Rates at a Glance

Productivity rates are used to evaluate productivity based on the processes recorded by oculai. They automatically link recorded working times with manually maintained quantities, enabling a comparison of effort and output.

Table structure

The table shows the productivity rates per building, floor/level, or area

  • Duration and workforce (first two columns) are automatically taken from the recorded processes.

  • Once a quantity is entered, oculai automatically calculates the productivity rate (Ah/m²).

Selecting and combining rows

Multiple rows can be selected via the checkboxes on the left edge.

  • Selected rows can be combined.

  • Combined rows can be separated again.

❕When separating, detail information may be lost and cannot be recovered.

Editing a productivity rate

Via the edit icon you open the "Edit productivity rate" modal.

Type and included processes

  • The type defines the unit and calculation logic of the productivity rate (e.g. In-situ concrete walls [m²]).

  • The gray chips show which processes are included in the productivity rate (e.g. formwork, reinforcement, concreting).

Adjusted productivity rate

In the Adjusted productivity rate section, supplements can be taken into account to compensate for deviations between recorded and actual effort.

  • Peripheral hours factor (%)

    For working hours that do not count as core activities (e.g. cleaning, tidying up, relocating).

  • Workforce supplement (non-productive hours)

    For activities that cannot be recorded by camera (e.g. stripping the ceiling).

  • Static productivity rate supplement

    Flat-rate adjustment of the productivity rate independent of process logic.

Additional information about the fields can be found via the info icons directly in the system.

Saving changes

  • Apply saves the adjustments.

  • Delete removes the productivity rate completely.

Adding a productivity rate

Use the "+ Add productivity rate" button (top right) to create a new productivity rate.

The "New productivity rate" modal opens.


How to proceed:

  1. Select a type (unit and calculation logic).

  2. Optionally add values in the Adjusted productivity rate section (e.g. peripheral hours or non-productive hours).

  3. Click "Apply" to create the productivity rate.

Detail information via hover & activity log

Additional detail information is available in several columns of the table.

  • Info icon ⓘ

    Hovering over the info icon opens a tooltip with further information about the respective value.

    Depending on the column, the following may be shown:

    • the time period from which the data originates

    • the value determined by oculai

    • the resulting calculated value (e.g. workforce or productivity rate)

  • Window icon (open activity log)

    Via the window icon you open the activity log in a new tab.

    There the associated processes including video material are displayed, on the basis of which the respective value was calculated.

    A detailed explanation of the structure and use of the activity log can be found in the separate article: [INSERT LINK TO ARTICLE]

Metrics in the summary row

At the bottom of the table there is a summary row displaying key metrics for the respective column.

❕In all calculations, only completed processes are taken into account. Completed processes are highlighted in green in the table.

1. Sum (durations)

This value is the sum of all green-highlighted individual values in the respective column.

It includes exclusively completed processes and represents their total value.

2. Weighted average (workforce)

The displayed value is the weighted average of the workforce, calculated based on the duration of the individual processes. Longer processes have a greater influence on the result than shorter ones.

The calculation follows this formula:

3. Sum (quantity)

This value represents the total quantity of all completed processes (e.g. m², t, or m³).

The calculation is performed as a simple addition of the quantity values.

4. Median (productivity rate)

The median is the middle productivity rate of all completed processes.

It divides the values so that 50% are below and 50% are above, and is therefore less susceptible to outliers.

Export

Via the three-dot menu at the top right, you can export the productivity rates as an Excel file. The export is suitable e.g. for internal analyses, documentation, or sharing within the team.
