Environment
What does the heavy industry & fabrication environment cover?
Typical settings: Metal fabrication, woodworking, glass manufacturing, concrete plant, welding workshop. Each recording shows the worker's hands, tools and the objects they handle from their own point of view, in the layouts and with the equipment used in Western manufacturing & workshops work.
The environment sits in the Manufacturing & Workshops sector of the commercial catalog. A spec can take the listed tasks as-is, narrow them, or add tasks the list does not name.
Tasks
Which heavy industry & fabrication tasks can be captured?
Every task in the catalog for this environment, with its skill level and current status.
| Task | What is recorded | Skill | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concrete work | Mix, pour, screed and finish concrete into forms using shovels, floats and trowels. | Hard | Available on request |
| Glass manufacturing | Handle molten or sheet glass, cut, form and finish pieces with tongs, cutters and grinders. | Hard | Available on request |
| Metal fabrication | Cut, bend, drill and weld metal parts into assemblies using shop machinery. | Hard | Available on request |
| Operating Heavy Machinery Controls | Operate levers and control panels of presses, cranes or machinery from the operator station. | Hard | Available on request |
| Welding | Set up the welder, tack and run beads along metal joints and clean the welds. | Hard | Available on request |
Capture setup
How is heavy industry & fabrication work captured?
| Setup | How it works | Tasks |
|---|---|---|
| Phone (head-mounted) / multiview rig | A head-mounted phone records the first-person view of real work on site; a multiview rig adds synchronized third-person angles when the spec asks for them. | 5 |
On the rig tier, every stream is aligned to a shared clock and checked at the sync gate before an hour is billed. See capture for the hardware.
Status
What does each status mean?
| Status | Meaning | Tasks here |

Western markets
Which Western markets are recruited for heavy industry & fabrication capture?
Contributors are recruited to spec in Western program markets, so the footage reflects how this work is done in North American and European businesses. Country pages list the legal basis and status for each market.
Delivery
How is the data delivered?
Footage is delivered in RLDS, LeRobot, WebDataset, HDF5, zarr and Rerun .rrd, mapped to the canonical episode schema, under a buyer-owned commercial licence. See delivery formats, sample data outputs and how to scope a custom collection.
FAQ
Heavy Industry & Fabrication egocentric data, answered.
- What heavy industry & fabrication tasks can Firsthand capture?
- 5 listed tasks, including concrete work, glass manufacturing, metal fabrication, operating heavy machinery controls. Tasks outside the list can be added to a spec.
- What does "Western" mean for this environment?
- The settings, equipment, packaging and signage found in North American and European heavy industry & fabrication work, recruited in program markets such as United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany.
- How fast can collection start?
- A median of 48 hours from signed spec to first validated batch where coverage is deep. Tasks marked available on request are recruited first, and the timeline is quoted against the spec before capture begins.
- Is the footage consented and anonymized?
- Yes. Releases are collected before capture, and faces, licence plates and screens are detected and blurred, with a human review step, before footage is delivered.
- Who owns the data?
- Delivery is under a buyer-owned commercial licence. Pricing is quoted per engagement and billed per validated hour, meaning footage that passed sync and QA against your spec.
