STT GDC India — Hyperscale data center build at scale

STT GDC India is part of ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, which operates 140+ data centers across Asia and Europe. The Chennai facility is expanding into one of the largest data center sites in the country, with hundreds of workers and heavy vehicles active across the build every day.

STT GDC India is ISO 45001 certified, with safety standards expected of hyperscale capital. At this scale, safety compliance cannot be left to manual checks across every shift, every zone, every moment.

The Hidden Problem

Manual safety supervision was failing at hyperscale.

Workers entering hazardous zones without helmets or full safety gear. Heavy trucks overspeeding inside the construction boundary. No real-time visibility of total workers present on site.

Manual roll calls were inaccurate and delayed. Paper-based compliance logs left audit gaps. Supervisors couldn't be in every zone simultaneously.

At construction scale, one missed violation can become an incident. Manual supervision could not cover every shift, every zone, every moment. PPE compliance dropped between rounds. Vehicle speed enforcement ended at the gate. Headcount during drills was chaotic. The EHS team needed a system that watches everything, all the time — without supervisor fatigue.

The mandate was decisive: catch violations before they become incidents. Make compliance evidence automatic. Make hyperscale safety measurable.

TentoVision Deployment

TentoVision AI Site Safety System — three safety layers, one platform

Tentosoft deployed TentoVision AI Smart VMS at STT GDC India's Chennai data center construction site. AI cameras were integrated at zone entries, site gates, and active work areas — with no disruption to ongoing construction. Three safety layers enforced simultaneously.

AI PPE Detection for Construction Sites

AI cameras at zone entry points continuously scan every worker entering hazardous areas. The PPE detection module flags missing helmets, vests, harnesses, gloves, and other required gear instantly. Real-time PPE alerts route to safety supervisors with timestamp, zone, and screenshot — before the worker proceeds into the hazardous zone.

ANPR Overspeed Detection Inside Construction Boundary

ANPR cameras at site gates read every vehicle license plate on entry. Inside-boundary cameras enforce zone-specific speed limits across the active build. When a vehicle exceeds the limit, TentoVision generates a real-time alert linking plate number, contractor, and location. Vehicle speed enforcement no longer ends at the gate.

Live Worker Headcount System

AI cameras at zone entry and exit points continuously count workers — refreshing headcount per zone and per muster point in real time. During an emergency or fire drill, the EHS director sees instantly how many workers are on site, in which zones, and how many have reached muster points. Automated roll call. Measurable evacuation.

Centralized Safety Dashboard and Automated EHS Compliance Logs

All three modules unify into one centralized safety dashboard at the project office. The EHS head and project director see every zone, every alert, every metric on one screen. Automated EHS compliance logs capture every event with timestamps, camera evidence, and resolution status — audit-ready and insurance-grade.

How the integrated architecture works

Three AI modules — PPE Detection, ANPR + Overspeed, Live Headcount — feed a single centralized dashboard with real-time mobile alerts and automated compliance logs.

Automated

Compliance logs

PPE violations are now detected and flagged automatically — before workers enter hazardous zones. Vehicles are monitored in real time, with instant overspeed alerts at the gate and inside the boundary. Live headcount is always known across every active site zone. Audit and compliance-ready logs are generated automatically. Manual supervision gaps are eliminated. Most importantly, violations are caught before they become incidents — the core safety narrative the EHS team came in for.

Before vs After — manual to AI-powered safety surveillance

Dimension	Before — Manual Supervision	After — TentoVision AI Site Safety System
PPE Enforcement	Manual checks, violations missed between rounds	AI detects missing gear instantly, alerts before zone entry
Vehicle Speed Control	No automated monitoring inside the site	ANPR flags every overspeeding vehicle in real time
Worker Headcount	Manual roll calls, inaccurate and delayed	Live automated headcount on a single dashboard
Compliance & Audits	No automated logs, paper-based audit gaps	Every violation auto-logged, audit and insurance ready
System Type	Passive, human-dependent supervision	AI-powered, always-on safety surveillance

Why Decision Makers Trust TentoVision

Why construction and EPC leaders choose TentoVision

Recognised innovation credentials

Tentosoft is recognised by Google and the Tamil Nadu Government for innovation in AI video analytics — credentials your EHS, IT, and procurement teams can validate independently.

Chennai-based, pan-India delivery

Engineering, deployment, and support are run from Chennai with field teams that handle multi-site construction rollouts across India. Your project director talks to an Indian team in IST — not a global call centre.

Three-module AI stack deployed together

TentoVision delivers PPE Detection + ANPR Overspeed + Live Headcount as one integrated platform — not three separate tools. Proven on active large-scale construction and hyperscale data center build sites.

Audit and insurance-grade compliance

Automated compliance logs aligned with BOCW Act 1996, ISO 45001, Factories Act 1948, and DPDP Act 2023. Audit-ready evidence packs and insurance-grade documentation come standard, not as an add-on.

FAQ

Questions EHS and project leaders ask before deploying

What AI safety solution did Tentosoft deploy for STT GDC India?

Tentosoft deployed TentoVision AI Smart VMS at STT GDC India's Chennai data center construction site — an integrated five-module platform combining AI PPE Detection at zone entry points, ANPR with Overspeed Detection at site gates and inside-boundary zones, Live People Counting for real-time worker headcount, a Centralized Safety Dashboard for single-pane visibility, and Automated Compliance Logs for audit and insurance readiness. The deployment supports STT GDC India's ISO 45001 certified safety standards.

How does TentoVision detect PPE violations before workers enter hazardous zones?

AI cameras at zone entry points continuously scan workers entering hazardous areas — checking for helmets, vests, harnesses, gloves, safety glasses, and other required gear. When a violation is detected, the platform sends an instant mobile alert to the nearest safety supervisor with timestamp, zone, camera ID, and screenshot — enabling intervention before the worker proceeds into the hazardous zone.

How does TentoVision monitor overspeeding vehicles inside the construction site?

ANPR cameras at site gates capture every vehicle license plate on entry, while inside-boundary cameras track vehicle speed across designated zones. When a vehicle exceeds the zone-specific speed limit, TentoVision generates a real-time alert linking plate number, contractor, and exact location — enabling immediate enforcement. This addresses inside-boundary vehicle safety, not just gate-only checks.

How is the live worker headcount maintained in real time?

AI cameras at zone entry and exit points continuously count workers, refreshing the headcount per zone and per muster point in real time. During an emergency or fire drill, the EHS director sees instantly — within seconds — how many workers are on site, in which zones, and how many have reached muster points. Evacuation completeness becomes measurable and audit-ready.

Is this AI site safety solution available for other construction, EPC, and infrastructure projects?

Yes. TentoVision AI Smart VMS is deployed across construction sites, EPC projects, large-scale infrastructure builds, and industrial facilities across India. Tentosoft scopes each deployment based on site zones, worker and vehicle volume, hazardous-area mapping, and compliance requirements — including BOCW Act 1996, ISO 45001, Factories Act 1948, and DPDP Act 2023 alignment.

Is your construction site ready for AI-powered safety?

Are PPE violations being caught before workers enter hazardous zones — or after?
Do you have real-time speed monitoring for all vehicles inside your site — not just at the gate?
Can you access a live headcount of all workers during an emergency — or is it manual?
Do you have automated compliance logs ready for safety audits — or paper-based gaps?

Don't wait for an incident to expose your supervision gaps.
