CAPO provides a sensor-equipped smart lighting and documentation platform that digitizes construction sites, enabling real-time monitoring and automated progress tracking without on-site presence. The system uses PoE+ powered lights with sensor pucks to capture acoustic, motion, climate, and visual data, while 4K cameras and Lidar enable autonomous BIM comparisons with ±5 mm accuracy. Construction managers save up to 119 working days per year through automated documentation and remote access.

Problem
Construction site monitoring and documentation typically require frequent on-site visits, manual photo documentation, and time-consuming data collection from multiple sources. This fragmented approach leads to high administrative overhead, delayed progress tracking, and limited transparency for stakeholders who need real-time project status.
Solution
CAPO provides a comprehensive building intelligence platform that transforms construction site lighting infrastructure into a sensor backbone for automated monitoring and documentation. The system uses PoE+ powered smart lights equipped with sensor pucks that capture light, acoustic, motion, and climate data, while 4K cameras, microphones, and Lidar pucks autonomously scan the site to document construction progress. All data is transmitted to a central cloud platform where it is compared against BIM models for automated target/actual analysis, generating revision-proof reports and photo-annotated evidence. The platform offers 24/7 remote access from any location, with an open REST-API for seamless integration with common construction management software like MS Project, Asta Powerproject, and Primavera P6.
Target Audience
Primary customers are project developers, project controllers, and construction site managers who need automated documentation, real-time progress tracking, and integrated security for their building projects.
