About
Versatile is an advanced construction technology solution that combines a multi-sensor hardware device with an AI-driven software platform to provide total visibility into jobsite performance. The hardware component is a certified, under-the-hook lifting accessory that attaches to any static or mobile crane. Once installed, it captures data passively during regular operations, tracking every pick, sequence, and delay without requiring site crews to change their established workflows or manually input data. The system interprets the physical movements of the crane to generate objective insights that help management understand exactly how the project is progressing relative to the schedule. The system functions by gathering data through its multi-sensor array and transmitting it via an independent cellular connection to the Versatile Control Center. Unlike standard crane cameras, this device interprets site activity beyond simple visuals, measuring crane utilization and identifying bottlenecks in real-time. Each morning, project teams receive digestible daily digest reports that highlight progress and pinpoint areas for improvement, such as reducing peaks and valleys in crane usage or tightening sequences to avoid overtime. Because it does not rely on jobsite Wi-Fi, the system is reliable in various environments and starts delivering data almost immediately after hook-up. This platform is specifically designed for construction project managers, superintendents, and steel erectors who need objective data to stay aligned with general contractors and solve field problems quickly. It serves various project types, including cast-in-place, precast, steel structures, and mass timber. The solution is also highly valuable for safety and risk managers, as it provides unprecedented data on near misses and operational patterns that can be used to prevent future incidents. By creating a single source of truth for productivity, the platform allows stakeholders to move from making guesses based on anecdotal phone calls to making decisions based on hard data. What sets Versatile apart is its non-intrusive implementation and focus on actionable interpretation. The device is a load-bearing assembly developed in partnership with The Crosby Group, ensuring it meets strict safety and rigging standards. Because it uses its own cellular connection and requires only periodic battery changes, it bypasses the need for IT department involvement. This creates a plug-and-play experience where data-driven decision-making becomes a natural byproduct of standard crane operations rather than an administrative burden on the field crew.

FAQs
How does Versatile differ from a standard crane camera?
Versatile uses a multi-sensor device to capture data beyond just visuals, providing interpretation and actionable insights. This allows teams to make production improvements rather than just viewing a raw video feed.
Does the installation require changes to the crane operator's workflow?
No, the device is an under-the-hook lifting accessory that captures data passively without altering standard operations. Aside from occasional battery changes, there is nothing extra for the crew to do.
What is the typical lead time for getting the system on-site?
A minimum of 2-3 weeks lead time is required from contract signing to go-live. The company recommends engaging early to secure a deployment date during high-demand periods.
What types of construction projects can benefit from this technology?
It is valuable for any project where cranes are pivotal, including cast-in-place, precast, steel structure, and mass timber builds. It has also been used successfully in non-construction environments.
Does the system require a local IT setup or Wi-Fi connection?
No, the device connects via its own cellular network and does not require jobsite Wi-Fi or IT department assistance. It is shipped ready to go and starts delivering data immediately.
