Smart Construction Site and Safety Monitoring

Using location-based metrics measurement for dynamic worksite environments

Large construction projects face challenges like managing workforce safety, ensuring compliance, and monitoring environmental conditions in real time. Our Smart Construction Site & Safety Monitoring Solution solves these issues by providing automated, real-time insights into worker locations, safety hazards, and environmental factors, reducing accidents and optimizing operational efficiency.

Network of Tokens and Anchors

The wireless IoT monitoring system comprises a network of Tokens and Anchors that transmit data to any computer network or cloud platform. 

• Tokens periodically broadcast their latest data (time, location, movement)
• Anchors count tokens in zones and monitor local environmental conditions

RFID and IoT sensors track workers and monitor environmental factors like air quality, temperature, and noise levels. These sensors are strategically placed across the worksite to ensure comprehensive coverage, making it easier to detect issues before they become critical.

Connectivity and communication

Our solution leverages a robust communication framework using wireless networks such as LoRaWAN or 4G/5G to transmit real-time data from sensors to the central platform. This ensures reliable and uninterrupted monitoring, even in remote or large-scale construction environments. The solution also allows for seamless integration with existing project management tools and systems.

The solution uses Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology, operating within the 3.1−10.6 GHz frequency range, offering low transmission power (<1 mW) and a range of 10 to 200 meters (32.8−656.2 feet) depending on the application. UWB provides high localization accuracy, ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 meters (0.33−1.64 feet), and is highly resistant to interference, ensuring no disruptions from WLAN or ISM channels. This makes it a reliable choice for real-time worker tracking and safety monitoring on large, dynamic worksites.

Reliable connectivity through the use of advanced communication protocols like LoRaWAN and 4G/5G, ensuring consistent data transmission even in large or remote worksites. The connectivity guarantees seamless real-time monitoring, enabling swift response to safety or environmental concerns without interruption.

Visualization

The dashboard is a powerful, data-driven platform designed to visualize and interpret real-time data collected:

• Real-time data visualization: Visualization: display of real-time data from the Tokens, including worker locations, environmental conditions, and safety alerts. Managers can see live maps of worker distribution, hazardous zones, and environmental factors like temperature or air quality.
• Customizable views: the dashboard offers customizable views tailored to specific project needs. For example, construction managers could focus on high-risk areas or set filters to monitor specific groups of workers, ensuring safety compliance and optimizing productivity.
• Historical data and reporting: the dashboard includes tools for analyzing historical data, allowing managers to review trends over time, identify areas for improvement, and generate automated reports for compliance purposes. This can help with optimizing future projects and preventing recurring issues.
• Alerts and notifications: through APIs and triggers, the dashboard enables automatic notifications and alerts if safety thresholds are breached, or if environmental conditions exceed acceptable levels. This ensures immediate action can be taken when risks are identified.
• Integration with other systems: the dashboard integrates with other industry-standard software via APIs, allowing for seamless data sharing between systems for project management, compliance tracking, or advanced analytics.
