Construction Security Monitoring Platform helps you create a safer and more effective working environment.

Client Background

Security Monitoring is very important for construction, bridges, massif or civil engineering. Traditionally, the only way is artificial recording by human day by day.

There are several software to manage different parts of monitor result, which are separated. Also a lot of data is managed by Excel in different computers, and complex to maintenance and track.

In order to improve the efficiency, reliability and real-time measurement, an IoT platform featuring telemetry remote monitoring, and distant control is needed.

Client Requirements

With the original way, there are many weaknesses such as lack of analysis and statistics, limited data visualization, lack of comprehensive forecasting function, the unsightly interface, the operation is complicated to upgrade and function. Our client wanted to build a new platform with the following below:

A data center to store and manage all monitoring and measurement data

A cloud service enables users access related information with their assigned permissions

Data statistics, data online telemetry, reports, and charts for better review

Automatically and real-time monitoring, telemetry tracking system

Inspection support for daily, weekly

Monitoring personnel can use their phone to real-time data submit

Our Solution

Business analysis and solution design

Our client does NOT have any employees with IT background. So we spent near 1 month working very closely with the client team and keeping updated the work results every day with Mind Maps, Use cases, BPMN, and User story mappings.

Also, we designed a compatible solution for collecting real-time data:

With 4G Data Gateway to collect the automatic measurement Devices and send to the cloud service listener
For some special Devices (such as Leica devices), their data can be only collected by their given software. So we add triggers to their database, convert and transfer to the cloud data center
For handy instrument equipment we integrate a Bluetooth mobile APP with handy instrument equipment, so the measurement result can be sent to cloud API in real-time.
For human measurement, the engineers can enter the data into the APP, which can be sent to the server directly while working.

Technical Architecture

Highlights features

Buildings realtime monitor and telemetry remote monitoring for different ways
Accurate measurement data in millimeter levels
Big data compute for incline, displacement and sedimentation
Forecast and Alarm to avoid of dangerous case

How We Deliver

MVP development For first release in 3 months
Iterative release for Stage 2 with full functions for about 6 months
Continuous Delivery to add more and more devices supports, different measurement methods, data compute and visualization demands

Work Results

With this platform, our client changed their working methods, works and data are all trackable and methodical. They saved a lot of human resources, and won more big projects. Also our client organisation is praised by their higher, and won more funds to carry on with the Platform for further development.
