The problem
The shift began at 5:30 a.m. daily with 54 subcontractors bringing 400-800 workers to the construction site. 3 security guards manually recorded entry due to misuse of RF card access. Paper access took nearly 1.5 hours, a significant time investment. It's challenging to track the exact number and identity of workers due to people leaving or sneaking off the site.
The solution
We integrated our controllers into existing turnstiles, allowing entries to be recorded via the app and our cloud-based RFID card system with full privilege management. 90% accessed the venue via phone, reducing paper access time significantly. We developed a solution to prevent RF card manipulation and detect fraud. Entry time is now limited to 25 minutes.
Feedback
Within the first month, our system identified multiple subcontractors invoicing for absent workers, saving over £10,000. Workers attempting to collect wages without working were detected and addressed. Our system operated effectively for three years until the completion of the construction project.
