Client
Overview
Our client is one of the best construction companies in the Middle East and have a workforce of around 1500 people at different locations. The client was also in the process of expanding more locations across the world and ramping up their workforce globally.
Problem
Statement
The primary goal of the client was to centrally manage the activities of the workforce and equipment at all construction sites. In addition, they wanted to keep an account of the working hours per staff for audit purposes and also continuously analyze workforce efficiencies to improve it.
Solution Requirements
- A system to monitor the movement of equipment
- Geo-fencing sensitive areas and creating alerts in unauthorized access
- An efficient system to monitor the activities of workforce at all sites
- Analyzing generated business insights to make informed decisions and enhance operational efficiencies to drive cost savings
Our
Solution
By implementing dSense – our IoT based location and live analytics solution, we were able to fully address client requirements. Bluetooth Smart Beacon Cards were provided to the staff, Bluetooth Smart Tags were attached to assets and Smart Sensors (called CloudSense) were installed across various locations at construction sites. Bluetooth signals transmitted from Smart Beacon Cards were picked up by CloudSense devices and sent to the dSense cloud in real-time. This automated their attendance process while administrators also obtained real-time analytics and reports – like time spent at each location, exact location of the labourers and assets.
With dSense, our client was able to easily monitor their workforce, assets (additionally avoid collisions between vehicles and moving equipment) which led to an overall 23% increase in speed and accuracy of operations.
