The Formwork Tracker at a Glance

The formwork tracker provides an overview of how long wall formwork has been standing unused on the construction site. oculai automatically detects the formwork in the camera image and marks it — without manual input.

❕The formwork tracker is an AI-based tool and operates with a certain degree of imprecision. Detection is not always completely accurate. The feature is intended to give you a sense of whether formwork is being used efficiently on your construction site and is not to be understood as an exact inventory system.

The formwork tracker is located in the left navigation menu under Resources > Formwork. At the top of the page, a tab is available for each available camera. Clicking on a tab displays the formwork detected by that camera.

Formwork in the camera image

Detected wall formwork is marked directly in the camera image with colored outlines and labels.

  • Green – The formwork is below the defined critical standstill.

  • Red – The formwork has exceeded the critical standstill.

Hovering over a label with the mouse displays the tracking start and the exact date of first detection. The Label toggle (bottom right of the image) can be used to show or hide all labels.


Setting the critical standstill

At the top right of the page, you can define from when a formwork is considered critical.

  1. Enter the desired number of days in the Critical standstill ≥ field.

  2. Choose whether the threshold should apply in working days or calendar days.

The color markings in the camera image and the timeline below update immediately to the new value.


The timeline

At the bottom of the page, a timeline shows the project progression from start to today. Red areas indicate periods in which formwork exceeded the critical standstill.

When the critical standstill is adjusted, the timeline updates automatically.

On the right side of the page, a table lists all detected formwork.
