Enhancing Efficiency in Construction

Lost equipment, delays, and inefficiencies are costing a fortune.

Truvami provides a smart solution.

The Growing Cost of Construction Operations

Globally, the sector loses an estimated $1 billion annually to equipment theft, with theft rates rising sharply in recent years. For instance, two-thirds of construction workers reported increased incidents of theft in 2023, leading to delays in one-third of projects and compounding operational costs. Meanwhile, inefficiencies in resource allocation and the underutilization of machinery inflate project costs by up to 20%.

Beyond theft, the lack of real-time visibility into asset locations and usage patterns exacerbates delays, increases maintenance costs, and leads to missed project deadlines. The industry also grapples with rising material costs—expected to increase by 15% over the next five years—and heightened pressure to improve sustainability and productivity. These issues demand innovative solutions like IoT technologies, which can streamline operations, optimize resource utilization, and prevent losses.

Truvami offers a truly plug and play solution. By leveraging IoT-driven tools such as geofencing, motion-triggered actions and centralized data platforms, companies can address these challenges head-on, safeguarding assets while driving efficiency across job sites.

Easy Compliance Reporting
Automated reporting features ensure adherence to regulatory standards, simplifying compliance management.

Seamless Indoor/Outdoor Tracking
truvami’s multi-protocol tracking technology integrates GNSS, WiFi scanning, LoRa and Bluetooth connectivity to ensure precise geolocation with high accuracy. This capability lets users track assets like trucks and bins indoors (e.g., warehouses) and outdoors (e.g., collection routes). The solution ensures uninterrupted visibility across diverse environments while minimizing the risk of lost or misplaced equipment.

Energy-Efficient Operations
truvami trackers leverage LoRaWAN® technology for ultra-low-power communication. With an extended battery life of upto several years (tag XL), the devices are ideal for remote or hard-to-access areas. This reduces the need for frequent maintenance or battery replacements, saving time and hidden operational costs.

Monitoring and Alerts

With features like geofencing and motion-triggered location updates, truvami enables detailed monitoring of asset movement. Alerts notify users of unauthorised movements or when assets leave predefined zones.

  • Waste bins equipped with truvami trackers send alerts when they are moved outside designated areas or if tampering or vandalism is detected.
  • Fleet managers can monitor garbage truck routes to ensure adherence to schedules and optimize operational efficiency.
  • Instances of theft and damage can be quickly identified, reducing disruptions to waste collection operations and minimizing repair costs.

 

Customizable Sensors
truvami devices support sensors for tracking environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, humidity, and motion. These sensors are particularly useful for monitoring hazardous or recyclable waste to ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Rugged Design for Harsh Environments
Designed for durability, truvami trackers feature rugged enclosures (e.g., IP67-rated enclosure for tag XL) that protect against dust and water ingress. This makes them suitable for challenging environments like landfills, industrial sites, or outdoor collection points.

Scalable Software Platform
truvami’s cloud-based platform provides a centralized dashboard for data visualization and reporting. It integrates seamlessly with existing IT systems via RESTful APIs and offers flexible deployment options (on-premise or cloud). Organizations can start small with pilot projects and scale up as needed.

Multi Protocol

Ensures seamless indoor/outdoor positioning using GNSS, WiFi scanning, LoRa and Bluetooth.

Energy Efficient

Reduces maintenance costs with extended battery life and efficient communication, sometimes up to several years (tag XL).

Monitoring & Alerts

Improves operational efficiency with geofencing alerts for unauthorized movements.

Custom Sensors

Tracks environmental conditions like temperature and humidity for compliance purposes. Additional sensors can be implemented on demand.

Rugged Design

Operates reliably in harsh environments with rugged enclosures.

Easily Scalable

Centralized data access with integration options for existing systems via APIs.

Size & Form

truvami trackers are available in different formats to suit diverse applications. Individual enclosures can be designed for specific use-cases.

Key Construction Transformations

Worker Safety
Construction sites are inherently hazardous environments, making worker safety a critical priority. Monitoring worker locations is essential to ensure compliance with safety protocols and enable rapid responses during emergencies. Truvami’s tag S is an ideal solution, offering wearable tracking capabilities, a responsive panic button for immediate assistance in the case of violence or aggression, as well as real-time support for medical emergencies. With geofencing alerts, you can ensure workers remain within designated safe zones. Its motion-triggered updates allow quick location of workers during emergencies, while its compact design and integrated accelerometer provide reliable and precise monitoring. With a battery life of up to 9 months (1 position per day) and Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, the tag S enhances worker safety by reducing workplace incidents and improving compliance with safety regulations through faster emergency response capabilities.

Equipment Utilization
Efficient use of construction machinery is essential to avoid project delays and cost overruns, yet identifying idle or underutilized equipment across job sites remains a significant challenge. Truvami’s tag L addresses this issue with its advanced high-precision GNSS tracking capabilities, passive WiFi MAC address scanning, LoRa, and BLE technology to deliver detailed usage analytics for heavy machinery like excavators or cranes. The device’s motion-triggered updates help managers assess utilization rates and redeploy idle assets effectively. By offering in-depth knowledge of run-time hours, you can ensure accurate usage billing on rented equipment. With configurable firmware for specific use cases and a battery life of up to 6 months (1 position per hour), the tag L helps optimizing resource allocation, reduces downtime, improves productivity, and minimizes unnecessary equipment rental costs.

Theft and Unauthorised Use
Theft of construction machinery is a costly problem that disrupts operations and impacts project timelines. Preventing unauthorized use or theft of expensive equipment is a significant challenge for site managers. Truvami’s tag XL is specifically designed for rugged environments, featuring an IP67-rated housing and long battery life (several years with hourly location fixes). Its geofencing alerts notify managers when equipment moves outside predefined zones, while motion-triggered updates can help recover stolen items or prevent misuse. With integrated GNSS sniffing, WiFi sniffing, LoRa positioning, BLE scanning, and optional sensors for environmental monitoring, the tag XL protects valuable assets, reduces theft risks, and minimizes financial losses from unauthorized usage.
