Geolocation Technology
Improve Safety and Efficiency
On-site with Geolocation Technologies
The idea to develop a worker geolocation came from a basic practical question:
“How can we have an accurate head count of the workers dispatched all over a large construction site? How can we make sure everyone has evacuated in case of emergency?”
The Solution
A Real-Time View of Construction Sites Thanks to Connected Devices
1
Installation of sensors to accurately keep track of equipment and assets on-site.
2
Utilise software to monitor and provide live status updates.
Health & Safety Benefits of the Geolocation System
- Real-time head-count per area in case of emergency evacuation
- Send notifications to supervisors if an evacuation is required
- Locate workers in case of accident
- Locate safety equipment (fire extinguisher, defibrillator)
- Check plant management
- Verify safety officers ratio per workers
- Manage some no entry areas
- Restricted access in confined spaces to only authorized workers
In the context of social distancing :
- A real-time count of workers per area and trigger alerts if the maximum is reached
- Day to day analysis of potential at-risk prolonged contacts and potential inefficiency in the measures taken to limit contacts
Operational Benefits of the Geolocation System
- Make sure everyone is working at the right place and quickly redeploy the workforce to match priorities
- Locate tools and plants available
Measure time and workforce required to complete activities per area
Measure adequacy of the workforce with the program
- Measure plants and equipment usage and optimize the way your teams share equipment
Leverage data collected to improve future projects:
- Workforce required per task
- Bottleneck suppression
- Program control

Confidex Viking™ Bluetooth® Low-Energy (BLE) Industrial Beacons
Confidex Viking™ Bluetooth® Low-Energy (BLE) Industrial beacons track the location of assets and people, with optional sensors for capturing environmental data. Confidex designed the Viking product family to be a modular BLE beacon family that raises the bar for industrial, indoor and outdoor, asset tracking to gain real-time location and conditioning visibility.
Secure & Tamper Proof
Confidex Viking™ beacons are designed with security in mind. Confidex Viking™ beacons have integrated secure NFC interface with unique passwords for configuration and they do not allow changing of configuration through the Bluetooth interface. Confidex Viking™ beacons are turned on/off through the NFC interface which prevents malicious turning off of the beacons in public environments.
Anchors Installation
Several fixation methods are available to be used, depending on the anchor support.
Double-sided tape on plain wall
Steel band on poles
Cable ties
