Construction - Monitoring Worker Movement at a Secured Facility
The Challenge.
A global construction company was awarded a project inside a highly-secured, access-controlled R&D campus. Once construction workers were admitted inside the main campus gate, the customer needed assurance that the workers arrived at the construction site within a specified time period.
The RFID Ready Collector Edge System.
Attempting to track personnel and related activities can be error-prone, time-consuming and costly. RFID Ready’s Collector Edge system simplifies the process by automating personnel and asset tracking, reporting and compliance. The system provides actionable data that is used for a variety of applications such as establishing alerts, triggering gate controllers and supporting audit compliance. The easy to use system uses RFID/Barcode enabled badges for workers that attached to hardhats, lanyards, or work clothing. The Collector Edge system features daily reporting including time tracking, supervisor notes including audit history, personnel segmentation by department and contractor, and both RFID and barcode tag identification. Easy enrollment is performed at onsite stations or via web interface.
The Objective
To track construction workers in real-time from the main campus gate to entry to any of the construction site gates. To also track the process in reverse as workers exit the construction site to campus egress locations.
The Solution
RFID Ready’s Collector Edge System.
The Results
The solution provided real-time visibility into single event and cumulative worker movement, and satisfied the following requirements:
- provided real-time worker location by Zone viewable over a Web dashboard
- set notifications and alerts for approaching time limits within Zones
- auto-generated reports by date and time, individual worker, group, and subcontractor
- generates customer compliance documentation for validation of security measures
- allows for easy worker enrollment at onsite stations or via web interface by using driver’s license or passport identification
- integration of personnel photos for enhanced security
- Hybrid RFID/Barcode tags used with human readable ID on worker badges
