The site that runs itself.

One method across the whole project. A self-healing Wirepas mesh — battery-powered, no cabling, working 500 m underground where GPS and Wi-Fi fail — senses every worker, tool and machine. AI agents on hardware you own think over the stream: muster roll-calls, idle-time analysis, HSE violations, progress vs plan. Automation acts — gates open, supervisors get WhatsApp alerts, timesheets write themselves. ZAMTEK develops the AI, supplies & integrates the hardware, and consults & trains. Drone flight operations are delivered via GCAA-licensed partners; all wireless hardware is TDRA type-approved.

Connected-worker RTLS

−91% violations

Our connected-operations RTLS suite · WakeCap helmet sensing · Velavu — exclusive rep

A blind site becomes a live safety and productivity map. Helmet-mounted sensors and badge tags track every worker, tool and machine by zone: danger-zone entries, time-on-tool, fatigue and man-down events, sub-60-second digital muster instead of a whiteboard headcount. Reference numbers from a GCC contractor's megaproject: safety violations −91%, productivity +25%, idle time down 25–40% — and timesheet fraud eliminated, because attendance is measured, not signed. Payback 3–6 months.

Wirepas mesh site network

500 m underground

Self-healing 2.4 GHz mesh · no SIMs, no cabling · TDRA type-approved

The network is the hard part on a construction site — floors rise, walls close, GPS and Wi-Fi die in basements and tunnels. A Wirepas mesh of battery-powered nodes that relay for each other keeps reporting through concrete, 500 m+ underground in tunnels, shafts and metro works, and re-routes itself as the site changes. No trenching, no single point of failure — the same mesh carries location, gas, vibration and fuel data.

AI CCTV on Ubiquiti

License-free

Face + plate recognition · touchless access · HSE analytics

AI video analytics running license-free on Ubiquiti UniFi cameras — no per-camera software fees, ever. Face and plate recognition open gates touchlessly for approved workers and vehicles; the same feeds flag missing PPE, unsafe lifts and intrusions with 3-second alerting. For groups: fully-managed multi-site surveillance as a subscription, with AI agents drafting the daily HSE report.

4D progress + survey

1.5 cm accuracy

Aerodyne — sole rep · Wingtra survey drones · flights via GCAA-licensed partners

Scheduled drone flights turn the BIM schedule into a 4D as-built record: progress vs plan by element, earthworks volumes, claims-grade photographic evidence — no more arguing about what was built when. Wingtra survey drones map to 1.5 cm accuracy at up to 500 ha per flight, replacing weeks of ground survey. All flight operations executed via GCAA-licensed partners.

The ground game: people, plant, life-safety

One mesh · One map
No cabling

Under the cameras and the drones sits the mesh — battery-powered, installed in days, re-routing itself as the site changes — putting every worker, tool and machine on one live map. All wireless hardware TDRA type-approved.

PEOPLE Muster

Helmet sensors and badge tags on the self-healing mesh: sub-60-second digital muster, geofenced danger zones around cranes and excavations, fatigue and man-down alerts, lone-worker cover in shafts and tunnels — with lender-ready OHS reporting and automated attendance that ends timesheet fraud.

TOOLS & PLANT Track

Tags on tools, formwork and small plant end the morning treasure hunt — 80% less search time in reference deployments. Wireless fuel & tilt sensors on generators, tankers and heavy plant flag every drain and log every refuel — see fuel monitoring — while AI agents surface the machine that idles all day.

LIFE SAFETY Protect

FIREX addressable fire-alarm and life-safety systems for site welfare, worker accommodation and the permanent works — supplied, integrated and tied into the same mesh, so a panel alarm triggers the digital muster automatically and the AI agents escalate stragglers by zone to WhatsApp.

The mesh senses

Every signal, one stream

Location, attendance, fuel, gas, vibration, video, aerial imagery — carried by a battery mesh with no SIM cards, no trenching, no single point of failure, working from the tower crane to 500 m below ground. It keeps reporting even as floors close and the site re-shapes itself.

The agents act

Operations that run themselves

On-prem AI agents — your hardware, your data, UAE sovereignty — turn the stream into action:

Alarm sounds → muster roll-call runs itself; stragglers escalated by zone
PPE violation on camera → supervisor pinged on WhatsApp in 3 seconds
Timesheets and idle-time reports write themselves from real presence
Weekly drone flight → progress-vs-plan variance lands in the PM's inbox

Straight answers

Compliance · Privacy
Deployment

Does the tracking work in basements and tunnels where GPS fails?

Yes — that is the design case. The site runs on a self-healing Wirepas mesh: battery-powered nodes that relay for each other, proven 500 m+ underground in tunnels, shafts and deep basements where GPS, Wi-Fi and cellular all fail. No SIM cards, no cabling, no single point of failure — and every node is TDRA type-approved for the UAE.

What does the connected-worker system actually measure?

Helmet-mounted sensors and badge tags put every worker, tool and machine on one live map: zone-level location, time-on-tool, danger-zone entries, fatigue and man-down events, and a sub-60-second digital muster instead of a 15–30-minute manual headcount. Reference deployments report safety violations −91%, crew productivity +25%, idle time cut 25–40% and timesheet fraud eliminated because attendance is measured, not signed.

Do we pay per-camera license fees for the AI CCTV?

No. The AI video analytics run license-free on Ubiquiti UniFi cameras — face and plate recognition, touchless gate access and HSE violation detection with no recurring per-camera software fees. For groups it is also available as a fully-managed multi-site surveillance subscription with 3-second alerting.

Who flies the drones for progress tracking and survey?

ZAMTEK develops the AI, supplies and integrates the hardware, and consults and trains. All drone flight operations are executed via GCAA-licensed partners and group companies. ZAMTEK is the sole authorized representative of Aerodyne for drone analytics, and supplies Wingtra survey drones that map to 1.5 cm accuracy at up to 500 ha per flight.

Where does the workforce data live? Is it privacy-compliant?

On-premises, on hardware you own, with UAE data sovereignty as the default. The AI agents process location and video locally; nothing has to leave the country. Tracking is zone-based and role-based, aligned with UAE labour and data-protection requirements, and the same records satisfy lender and client OHS reporting.

How fast can we start, and what does it cost up front?

Engagement is pilot-first: a 2-week proof-of-concept, then a 4–8-week single-zone pilot with measured ROI — one tower, one tunnel section or one gate — then a phased Hardware-as-a-Service subscription. No capex; reference construction deployments show 3–6 month payback.
