"Not a hardware, not a software, this startup looks to partner with CCC to improve construction efficiency", 20 March 2018

... WakeCap Technology team might have just finished their first prototype in Dubai, but they are planning to partner with big construction companies like Consolidated Constructors Company (CCC) in Dubai, and Emaar, to test their smart construction helmet, which provides real-time reporting on workers’ activity on site. During a two-minute pitch at ArabNet Beirut this year, the team demonstrated how the product works: Construction workers wear the usual helmet integrated with WakeCap technology and without having to connect to an app, the helmet sends real-time data on the location of the workers, their activity, their attendance, and the ambient temperature in construction zones by connecting them to WakeCap’s network on site. The data gets updated each minute and helps general contractors and real estate companies track the progress even more closely... "With WakeCap, we hope we can further improve safety measures on site whether through evacuating worksite effectively, optimizing emergency response, preventing unauthorized access and thus mitigating risks effectively. We also hope we can potentially digitize worksite operations by quantifying labor productivity through its sensors and thus providing a real time, accurate, and automated data collection on our workers; including time attendance," said Aref Boualwan, Manager of Management Information Systems... and Business Process Re-Engineering at CCC...
