By introducing the IoT infrastructure “EXBeacon Platform” to construction sites, it is possible to manage the location, attendance, health, and safety of workers. It is also possible to monitor the operation status of aerial work vehicles and heavy machinery, and prevent the loss of machinery and tools, leading to more efficient site management and improved safety.
Safety management solutions
Tunnel construction requires many workers to carry out work using heavy machinery in a limited space, and so there is a risk of industrial accidents such as contact with heavy machinery, rock falls, and collapses, making it necessary to take thorough measures for safety and health management.
By introducing the EXBeacon platform, it is possible to grasp the positions of workers and heavy machinery. In addition to managing mine entry and location of workers, by linking the authority of each worker to each mine task, it is possible to control the entire site, such as issuing alerts for unexpected work, and thoroughly manage safety and attendance.
Solution application examples
Problem 1
We don’t know who is in the mine
Entry tickets are sometimes forgotten and the information is unreliable
Problem 2
We don’t know where in the mine anyone is
Problem 3
We want to prevent unauthorized workers from entering the face area
Problem 4
Collision accidents between heavy machinery and workers occur
Problem 5
Collision accidents between battery locomotives and workers occur
Problem 6
We want to understand the working environment inside the mine
We want to automate body temperature management as a measure against infectious diseases

Location/vital information of workers
On-site visitor information
On-site temporary equipment reservation solution MonoBooker
A large number of construction machines and materials, including aerial work platforms, are brought to construction sites. However, their location and usage status are often unknown, leading to continuous inefficient operation. The “Aerial Work Platform Solution” is a new solution that provides efficient operation through forecast/actual management of aerial work platforms.
Usage scenarios
Main functions and services
Location display of aerial work vehicle
Operation status of aerial work vehicle
System image
The EXBecon platform is installed at construction sites, etc., and the location of aerial work vehicle is measured by receiving radio waves from BLE tags attached to aerial work vehicle and keys.
The current location is plotted on an indoor map based on the collected location information, and forcast/actual management (reservation and operation confirmation) is performed.
