Innovative IoT solutions achieve a 91% reduction in safety observations
In commemoration of World Day for Safety and Health at Work (28 April), WakeCap, a leader in smart solutions for construction site management, announced its contributions towards enhancing safety measures at the largest, liquid-rich shale gas play in the Middle East by Saudi Aramco – Jafurah.Through the adoption of advanced Internet of Things solutions, WakeCap drove a 91% reduction in safety observations on and off the facility, around the Eastern province of the Kingdom.
By implementing real-time monitoring and analytics across the Jafurah site, WakeCap has transformed safety management protocols. The system tracks around 8,000 site staff and 400 vehicles, utilizing patented, helmet-mounted devices and live CCTV cameras with video AI to proactively identify safety incidents and violations, significantly mitigating risks and enhancing onsite safety culture.
Safety Control Centre
In the initial deployment phase, WakeCap’s technology identified hundreds of safety observations. Using automated flagging, a safety control centre, and consistent procedures, immediate corrective actions were taken to reduce the number of events by 91%.
“As we set the industry standard for data-powered site visibility, we reinforce a culture of safety at every level of operation by fostering enhanced compliance and awareness through innovative methods,” remarked Hassan Albalawi, CEO and Co-Founder, WakeCap.
The vehicle tracking technology implemented by WakeCap surpasses traditional speed cameras. The vehicles are tracked 100% of the time at all places, unlike speed cameras that only catch over-speeding at points of installation. This system drastically reduced over-speeding violations by over 70%, a press statement concluded.
