The Client is a construction company whose operations include material handling &
transportation, labor personnel management, construction and sales. The company, like other
construction companies and labor contractors, faces the issue of difficult and cumbersome labor
personnel management. This entails
Ensuring that labor subcontractors are regularly bringing the agreed upon number of personnel
Ensuring that the personnel on-site are authorized to be working
Monitoring productivity and attendance
Requirements capture
The solution to this challenge required the development of a system that would allow for:
Unique identity of personnel (to prevent double counting)
Tracking of personnel movement (to prevent unauthorized absence of personnel)
Mapping of personnel to associated labor contractor/company
Time-in/time-out logging
Multiple-fold reduction in time taken to gather and process the necessary data.
Our
PROCESS
Mapping and analysis of existing system architecture, including dependent systems, control inputs and outputs as well as electrical and mechanical constraints
Specification of components for optimal functionality, manufacturability and lifecycle requirements.
Development of electronic circuitry schematics
Iterative design of optimized PCB layout including EMI/EMC management and footprint constraint management.
Development of exhaustive testing documentation along with in-depth analysis of use cases and application conditions
Iterative solution prototyping to identify risk areas, roadblocks and improvement opportunities.
Solution & Benefits
The solution suite developed offers several game-changing benefits:
Unmanned collection of data regarding personnel deployment, productivity and
utilization
Elimination of double counting, bunking and other practices that are currently negatively
impacting the workforce productivity
Inherent introduction of verification and safety protocols
Reduction in time taken by labor attendance procedures by about 80%
