DEVB TC(W) No. 1/2026
SmartEye compatible LiDAR, the capture the Co-supervision Platform reads
SmartEye, the Co-supervision Platform under DEVB TC(W) No. 1/2026, reads 4D LiDAR as colourised, georeferenced point clouds over time, plus data from cameras and sensors (Annex A, paragraphs 2 and 3). DEVB developed SmartEye in-house. Kodifly supplies the site capture, hardware, software and services it uses, with ScanStation K4DL-1000 and fixed-route drone LiDAR.
What "SmartEye compatible" should mean
SmartEye is DEVB's own system. The circular says DEVB developed it in-house to establish the Co-supervision Platform (CSP), using 4D LiDAR, 5G fusion bonding, Generative AI and a Large Language Model (paragraph 6 and Annex A, paragraph 1). The platform is not a product anyone else sells.
What a contract buys is the site side, the LiDAR, cameras, sensors, edge processing and connectivity that produce the data, and the people who install and keep it running. Paragraph 14 says the hardware and software for the CSP, including supply, installation and acceptance testing, are procured in the works contract against DEVB's sample specifications.
So "SmartEye compatible" is best read as capture that delivers what the platform reads, in the form Annex A describes. DEVB explains the flow in plain terms. The site is scanned by 4D LiDAR, the data becomes a coloured spatial dataset, the point cloud, and after edge processing and 5G transmission the site is rendered in 3D on an AI-driven dashboard.
The capture data the platform needs
Drawn from TC(W) No. 1/2026 and its Annex A. Use it to check a capture proposal.
4D LiDAR, Annex A paragraph 2(i)
- Point clouds over time, the Video of Point Cloud, from fixed-point or fixed-route capture.
- Dimensional and positioning information at a reasonable level of accuracy for common site usage.
- Coverage planned to minimise blind spots and give continuous spatial data.
Edge processing, Annex A paragraph 2(ii)
- Point cloud size optimised before transmission.
- Colour added to the point cloud.
- Georeferencing added, so scans from different locations line up.
- Zero-lux vision for round-the-clock monitoring.
Transmission, Annex A paragraph 2(iii)
- An uplink from every capture point that carries point cloud data continuously. DEVB's 5G fusion bonding combines bandwidth from multiple mobile operators to raise uplink bandwidth up to about three times.
Other devices, Annex A paragraph 3
- AI cameras and body-worn cameras.
- IoT sensors for temperature, humidity, vibration and other environmental parameters.
- Works-specific devices, such as thermal sensors, fibre optic sensors and handheld laser scanners.
Data flow and links, Annex A paragraph 4 and paragraph 8
- Data synchronised automatically across devices and servers, so contractor, site supervisory staff and employer share the same site records.
- Data connection with the DWSS Smart Construction Management hub through an API or other means.

Why the capture matters more than the dashboard
The dashboard functions in Annex A, paragraph 5, measure what the capture gives them. Dimension and volume measurement needs dimensionally sound, georeferenced points. The reinforcement bar fixing check needs a line of sight to the bars before concrete is placed. The MiC and tower crane checks need a continuous record of the lifting zone. Poor placement or a gap in the time series shows up as a function that cannot be used.
Kodifly plans the capture from the functions in your scope. Fixed units go where the same area must be watched continuously. Drone routes cover what the fixed units miss. Every scan carries its date and position, so the record stays consistent from the first pour to handover.
SmartEye capture questions
Who owns SmartEye?
DEVB developed SmartEye in-house to establish the Co-supervision Platform (TC(W) No. 1/2026, paragraph 6 and Annex A, paragraph 1). Kodifly supplies the site capture, hardware, software and services that the platform uses on a contract.
What format of point cloud does SmartEye need?
Annex A, paragraph 2(ii), says edge computing optimises point cloud size and adds colour and georeferencing. The platform therefore works with colourised, georeferenced point clouds captured over time. ScanStation K4DL-1000 outputs real-time colourised point clouds with centimetre-level georeferencing.
Does the CSP need LiDAR from a specific capture approach?
No. The Video of Point Cloud can be produced fixed-point, with LiDAR on poles, tower cranes or non-movable objects, or fixed-route, with small unmanned aircraft or robots (Annex A, paragraph 2(i)). Kodifly supplies both.
Which cameras and sensors can the platform read?
Annex A, paragraph 3, lists AI cameras, body-worn cameras, IoT sensors for temperature, humidity and vibration, and works-specific devices such as thermal sensors, fibre optic sensors and handheld laser scanners. The examples are not exhaustive, and the CSP may be fine-tuned to capture data from other sensing devices.
How is the capture hardware procured?
Paragraph 14 says project offices include the requirements for procuring the hardware and software in the works contract, based on the selected scope and DEVB's sample specifications covering supply, installation and acceptance testing.
What does DEVB say happens to the scan data?
DEVB describes SmartEye scanning a site by 4D LiDAR, converting the data into a coloured spatial dataset, and, through edge processing and 5G transmission, rendering the site in 3D on an AI-driven dashboard. Data should also connect to the DWSS Smart Construction Management hub (Annex A, paragraph 4).
