Indoor Tracking in Construction and Tunnels

Assets and persons can be tracked with Bluetooth Low Energy beacons. These can be attached to vehicles and objects or carried by workers in the form of ISO cards or integrated into their helmets. Receiver hardware receives the signals from the beacons and sends the information to the backend where the position is determined.

Asset Tracking
By tracking assets, such as tools or vehicles, their position can be displayed and followed on a digital map at any time. This reduces search times significantly. In addition, an overview of the number, location and, if necessary, the condition of equipment and components helps to complete tasks efficiently and to detect missing materials at an early stage.
Use Case: Process Optimization on a Construction Site

Theft Protection Through Geofencing
Asset tracking can help protect tools and equipment from theft. If a tracked object leaves a previously defined area, the responsible personnel can be alerted automatically.

The position data collected by the tracking application can be visualized in an analysis software and serves as a basis for various analyses.

Analyses and Process Optimization
Based on the position data obtained from the tracking solution, utilization analyses can be carried out, optimization potentials can be uncovered and bottlenecks can be identified. In infsoft Analytics, heat maps, movement profiles, dwell times and much more can be visualized in user-friendly, customizable dashboards.

Efficient Personnel Deployment
The localization of employees enables targeted, effective personnel deployment. It can be ensured that the employees are only deployed in areas or take over tasks for which they have sufficient training and authorization. If desired, tasks can be automatically generated and sent to a worker's smartphone.

Use Case: Asset and Personnel Tracking in Tunneling

Construction sites and tunnels are workplaces that present an increased risk of injury to employees. Positioning in combination with sensor technologies can significantly reduce this risk and increase the safety of all workers.

Rescue of Injured Employees
The tracking of workers during construction, maintenance and cleaning of tunnels ensures increased personnel safety. In case of an accident, the person affected can be located via indoor tracking.
It can also be assumed that an accident has occurred if a worker who is working alone has not moved for some time. The tracking solution helps to quickly locate the injured employee to provide him or her with timely medical care. Beacons with integrated motion sensors can be used to reliably determine the motionlessness of the worker.

Securing of Hazardous Areas Using Geofencing
Furthermore, warning mechanisms can be configured to inform the control center as soon as an employee leaves or enters a pre-defined dangerous area (geofencing). This technology can also be used to grant or deny employees access to certain areas.

Condition Monitoring
In addition to the positioning sensors, condition sensors for gas detection and air quality monitoring can be installed in the working areas. If harmful gases are emitted in tunnels or the quality of the air is impaired in any other way, employees can be warned in a timely manner and the security system can be activated.

Reliable Evacuation in Emergencies
In emergencies, such as fire, pipe burst or the presence of hazardous gases, it is critical to evacuate all people present in a timely manner. In this context, infsoft's tracking solutions enable fast and targeted search and rescue operations and ensure that no one is left behind.
