Phase 01
Pre-Construction Intelligence

Plan with data.
Not assumptions.

Most road construction issues are baked in early: missed obstructions, outdated BOQ surveys, or missing baseline docs.

Our pre-construction module fixes this before work begins. AI field surveys deliver ±5cm accurate width profiles, map chainage-level obstructions, and create an audit-ready baseline that feeds straight into your PMIS.

Road width profiling — AI-measured, ±5cm precision across entire route
Obstruction detection — poles, trees, encroachments mapped at chainage level
KML output — directly compatible with OMMAS and NRIDA reporting systems
Baseline documentation — geo-tagged, timestamped, court-admissible

PMIS — the operating backbone
of every road package.

PMIS · Project Setup
Centralised Project Creation
Define scope, timelines, and budgets centrally. Assign accountability via role-based access, keeping all drawings and approvals linked to the chainage and BOQ line.
BOQ · Cost Control
BOQ Creation & Real-Time Tracking
Import BOQ items from Excel/ERP. Line items link directly to field work; as sensors verify a compaction pass, the BOQ item auto-updates. Variances are flagged instantly.
Milestones · Schedule
Milestone Tracking & Delay Alerts
Set deadlines for every package. Dashboards track physical and financial progress, while automated escalations alert your team the moment data diverges from the plan.
Asset Allocation · Fleet
Equipment Allocation & Health Scoring
Allocate machinery based on demand and shift schedules. IoT health scoring tracks equipment condition to flag breakdowns early, improving asset lifecycles by up to 25%.
BOQ Templates · Standardisation

Construction Monitoring & AI Supervision

Every layer verified
before the next one begins.

Quality is decided in the 30 minutes after a layer is laid. Miss that window, and defects are sealed in.

Cognecto combines IoT and vision AI to verify machinery, count compaction passes, confirm sequences, and spot spread anomalies in real time. On Package 6152, this slashed rework by 40% with same-day fixes.

Roller pass counting — GPS-verified per chainage, every lane, every layer
FDR/WBM sequence verification — compaction, spreading, rolling all confirmed
Cement spread uniformity — deviation flagged before roller arrives
Progress against BOQ — layer-by-layer completion linked to billing triggers

Compaction · All lanes
Roller Pass Verification per Chainage
Every roller pass is counted per chainage, lane, and layer against the BOQ schedule. Real-time flags catch under/over-rolling, yielding a geo-tagged pass map that withstands audit.
Spread · Quality
Cement Spread Uniformity Detection
Photon identifies spread thickness anomalies and coverage gaps as the cement spreader moves. Deviations are geo-tagged before the roller arrives, ensuring undisputed records.
Progress · BOQ
Visual Progress Recording vs BOQ
AI confirms what was built, when, and by whom. Layer completion is logged against BOQ items to flag incomplete work. This completely replaces manual inspection reports for NHAI/PMGSY audits.
Fleet · Machinery
Machinery Compliance & Fleet Tracking
Real-time GPS tracks every roller and tipper. Boson verifies correct deployment per BOQ, tracks idle time, and alerts on non-compliance before shift reports are filed.
Safety · HSE
On-Site Safety & PPE Monitoring
Photon monitors PPE (hardhats, vests, boots) and enforces no-go perimeters. Every safety event is timestamped as an immutable record, replacing paper-based rounds.
Alerts · Cortex
Real-Time Deviation Alerts
Geo-fenced alerts fire if equipment deviates or a quality threshold is breached. Alerts reach supervisors and Ministry dashboards instantly, keeping correction windows open.

The road is built.
The intelligence stays active.

Handover is just the beginning of the maintenance story. Without continuous monitoring, you only find out a road failed after it happens.

Our post-construction layer shifts from QC to asset health. The same cameras now scan for cracks, potholes, and rutting—classifying severity and feeding a prioritized maintenance queue, giving PMGSY a true maintenance baseline.

Defect classification — cracks, potholes, rutting, edge ravelling by severity
Edge line continuity analysis — 9.23 km of Package 6152 at 98.4% coverage

Defects · Classification
AI Defect Detection & Severity Rating
Automated severity classification (major, moderate, minor) of cracks, potholes, and edge failures. Defect data feeds the Cortex maintenance queue before repair costs skyrocket.
Width · Marking
Width Verification & Edge Line Analysis
Final carriageway widths are compared to specs with exact chainage mapping. Edge line continuity is fully analyzed, flagging missing sections before final handover.
Condition · Maintenance
Road Condition Index & Maintenance Priority
Chainage condition scores aggregate into a live Road Condition Index. Program managers instantly see which segments need urgent intervention, optimizing maintenance budgets.

Why Cognecto

Four reasons highway programmes
choose Cognecto over the rest.

Not generic construction software. Not a dashboarding tool. Intelligence built specifically on how Indian and international highway programmes are planned, built, and maintained.

01 / End-to-End Coverage

The only platform covering all three phases.

Pre-construction baseline survey, construction monitoring with real-time BOQ linkage, and post-construction defect assessment — in one platform, one data model, one audit trail. Most tools do one of these. Cognecto does all three, and the data from each phase feeds the next.

02 / PMGSY & NRIDA Native

Built for Indian road programmes, not adapted for them.

OMMAS-compatible KML outputs, PMGSY construction method templates (GSB, WBM, BC, CC), NRIDA audit format reports — these are not integrations built after the fact. They are native to the platform because Cognecto was built on India's largest rural road programme from the start.

03 / Physics AI + Vision AI

IoT and Vision working from the same data model.

Boson's GPS and sensor data verifies compaction passes and equipment compliance. Photon's vision intelligence confirms layer quality, spread uniformity, and progress. Both feed the same BOQ line item, the same knowledge graph, the same audit trail. No data silos. One verified record.

04 / Court-Admissible Evidence

Not reports. Proof.

"Cognecto has set a benchmark for evidence-based quality monitoring in road construction." — Shri Akhand Pratap Singh, IAS, CEO UPRRDA. Every observation geo-tagged, timestamped, and cryptographically signed. The complete chain of evidence from field measurement to BOQ clearance — retrievable for any audit, arbitration, or Ministry review.

Does Cognecto integrate with OMMAS and NRIDA reporting systems?+
Yes. All outputs — width profiles, KML maps, chainage reports, defect summaries, and BOQ verification records — are formatted for OMMAS upload and NRIDA Ministry of Rural Development reporting standards. The platform is Make in India certified and fully compliant with government data security protocols. Field data flows from engineer to Ministry without manual compilation or reformatting.
How does compaction pass verification work across multiple lanes?+
Boson GPS devices on the roller track position and movement in real time. The physics AI layer counts each pass per chainage segment, per lane — left, centre, and right carriageway — and validates the sequence and count against the compaction schedule in the BOQ. Under-rolling and over-rolling are flagged immediately. The output is a geo-tagged pass map that replaces manual tally sheets and is stored as an immutable audit record.
Can the platform handle multiple packages across different states simultaneously?+
Yes. Cognecto is built for multi-site, multi-state deployment. Each package is configured as a separate workgroup within the platform — its own BOQ, milestone schedule, device assignments, and access permissions. Programme directors see the full portfolio. PIU supervisors see their packages. SRRDA officials see their state. All from one Cortex instance, with no data mixing across workgroups.
What cameras and GPS devices does Cognecto work with?+
Boson connects to 20+ OEM telematics manufacturers — TATA Advance, 808GPS, Mahindra, Fleetedge, and custom TCP/MQTT devices — without hardware replacement. Photon integrates with existing IP cameras via RTSP, RTMP, and ONVIF protocols (Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, and generic IP cameras). If equipment is already on site, Cognecto connects to it. Typical activation: 7 days from agreement to live monitoring.
How is post-construction defect data used in maintenance planning?+
Every defect detected post-construction — crack, pothole, rutting, or edge ravelling — is classified by severity, geo-tagged to chainage, and stored in the Cortex knowledge graph as a structured maintenance record. The co-pilot aggregates these into a Road Condition Index by segment and surfaces a prioritised maintenance queue. Programme managers see which chainage segments require urgent intervention and which are within acceptable parameters — before a reactive repair becomes an emergency one.
Active in 7 days. No hardware purchase.
