Redefining the safety and security management

This case study explains how Incepta Solutions helped one of Canada’s largest media and communication service providers connect its smart construction portal with various construction-focused smart devices using our SmartConnect platform.

• We implemented live surveillance to improve monitoring of construction site air quality, occupancy, humidity, and security hazards.
• Enhance site security with real-time tracking and automated alerts to reduce theft and prevent damages.
• We aimed to cut financial losses from equipment theft and project delays, addressing an estimated $15-$20 million annual risk.
• We delivered a solution that saved customers up to $100K per year per project by reducing reliance on human surveillance.

• Leading Canadian communications and media company.
• Specialize in 5G and fiber network connectivity for construction projects.
• Pioneering IoT technologies in smart building construction.

Industry: Construction

• Construction sites were often inadequately monitored for air quality, occupancy, humidity, and security hazards.
• The lack of controlled surveillance increased security risks, with significant equipment theft reported annually.As per research, the Ontario Provincial Police estimates that $15-$20 million worth of equipment is stolen from construction sites in Ontario per year.
• We were asked to mitigate the risk by providing live surveillance which would enhance the site’s security and prevent any unforeseen damages and costs.

Using Incepta’s SmartConnect platform, we were able to provide an API-driven solution to this challenge that connected multiple IoT devices and laid a foundation for real-time notifications, data storage, data sharing, and analytics of all sensory and device data from the construction site. 

To enrich proactive monitoring of the construction site, Incepta’s SmartConnect Platform was able to integrate temperature,  humidity, and motion sensor devices installed all across the construction site. The integration allowed us to send real-time notifications to the construction management team. Our solution could continuously track the environmental conditions and patterns like air quality, humidity, temperature, and air pressure as per the safety standard guidelines. Any unconditional metrics triggered rule-based notifications to the right people at the right time and enabled them to make informed decisions faster.

Incepta partnered with Swidget and Synnapex to develop the solution for this project. We sincerely thank them for their immense support.
