- Improve management efficiency
- Detect employee’s work posture
- Reduce daily chores
Background
A construction project requires many human resources, and the supervision of site work is also very important. Therefore, the workload of the safety officer in the past was extremely heavy. With the development of science and technology, the promotion of intelligent site management can effectively assist managers in supervising the site workforce with a lighter burden.
Solution
Equipping workers with smart badges and installing site safety devices on construction sites will greatly reduce the chance of accidents. Smart badges and site safety devices are combined with LoRaWan and sensor technology to reduce accidents.
IoT technology LORAWAN – Thousands or even tens of thousands of node capacity connect easily
LoRaWan is a wireless communication technology designed to create low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN) required for machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The information can be sent to any base station connected to the cloud platform at low cost, low power consumption, safety, and long-distance.
There are four other functions in the back-end:
- Multi-identity login interface: hierarchical access
- Data visualization chart: Data will be displayed in various chart, such as column chart, bar chart, line chart, pie chart.
- Instant data transmission: transfer messages in real-time via LoRaWan, Json, MQTT communication protocols
- Complete data export
Real-time notification and tracking
The smart work card can transmit the data collected on the construction site to the background management to track the workers’ whereabouts in real-time. The smart work card can record the worker’s location, movement trajectory and distance data. Workers can sign in to work as long as they walk on the construction site with a smart work card. When the management enters the personal information of a specific worker, they can view their walking route, stay time in a particular area, and other data, thereby facilitating supervision and management and optimizing operations. The manager could conduct statistics on the length of working hours and whether the work progress is up to standard and other data to realize the innovative application of intelligent construction sites.
Smart work cards have a recording function and serve as a security alarm system on the site. For example: supervising the working posture of employees, reminding workers of the possibility of injury when the pose is wrong; detecting the distance from large mechanical and electronic fences, setting access to restricted areas, setting persons who are allowed to enter the site, and issuing warnings when approaching the restricted area.
In the long run, the data obtained by the smart work card can assist in calculating engineering resources, which is very important for the management of suppliers and subcontractors. The data can be calculated to the required time and labour costs to ensure the quality and progress of the project at all times; the management can know the different performance of each subcontractor according to the records and progress.
Conclusion
Smart work cards use technology as the front line of easy management for construction enterprises, making management more efficient. As a monitoring device to improve work efficiency and ensure site safety, as a site safety device, it is also a care for workers. In the long run, the data obtained by the smart work card can reach the calculation and repair project resources, which is extremely important for the management of suppliers and subcontractors and guarantees the quality and progress of the project at all times. In addition, all government sectors are also actively encouraging the intelligent industry and using smart work cards to enhance the organization’s good corporate image.
We understand that the needs of every industry are different. With our knowledge of IoT, we can customize a complete IoT solution for you, quickly deploy it, and use it for a long time.
