Wireless asset tracking and access management
BouWatch develops systems for securing construction sites and facilitating asset management. To secure a construction site, mobile masts are installed which are equipped with cameras. When the cameras are activated and see motion, they send an alarm signal to a control room where security personnel validate the alarm and act accordingly. To ensure that the construction sites are only accessed by the authorized personnel, the BouWatch company also provides access control infrastructure for the construction sites. In addition to securing the area using cameras and access control gates, solutions for asset management are required. Many valuable manual tools are used in the construction sites. Tracking of the tools should be enabled for security reasons and project management support. |
