Know where your equipment and personnel are - any time, anywhere. Iknaia provides an end to end completely robust asset management and personnel tracking system using BLE (Bluetooth 4.0) and WiFi technology.

1. Intelligent Asset & Personal Tracking Solutions
for the Construction Industry

2. Introducing Bluetooth Low Energy
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or Bluetooth 4.0, has emerged and can be utilised to improve the
ability of construction companies to keep track of assets and monitor activities within
environments building sites, underground tunnels and mines.
• BLE is more flexible than some more well-known location technologies such as:
– GPS - which doesn’t work inside buildings,
– Wi-Fi - which has a wide error range and drains power
– RFID - which is limited to its own technology and provides very little integration with
other devices
• BLE has a much wider scope of functionality and interoperability
– as any device equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 is capable of being
detected and able to receive information or services
• BLE is far wider reaching applications and can support a roadmap
of future IT installations
• BLE solutions are ideally suited to organisations that want to track
and monitor assets and/or people (such as construction workers,
plant machinery, tools etc) in a particular location.

3. Iknaia Solution
• Iknaia provides an end to end completely robust asset
management and personnel tracking system using BLE
(Bluetooth 4.0)
• Custom made beacons and detectors provide information on
the location and movement of assets, devices and people
• Cloud hosted software works in conjunction with beacons and
detectors to provide real-time online information about each
beacon location, movement, security and environmental status
• Reduce the amount of man hours spent each day locating
equipment enabling staff to spend more time doing their job
• Reduce the cost of replacing lost equipment
• Know where your equipment and personnel are - anytime,
anywhere

4. Iknaia Beacons
• Iknaia offers a selection of custom manufactured
beacons that have the ability to :
• Announce their location to a detector or mobile
application
• Low power consumption for long battery life (up to 3
years)
• Range up to 70 metres
• Easily attached to any type of equipment and hard to
remove
• Have two-way communication and make audible
beeping sounds
• Monitor temperature and heat
• Report humidity
• Signal if ‘man down’ – using Gyroscope beacons
• Monitor pressure (eg: Truck Tires)
• Detect magnetic forces such as weapons with
magnetometer beacons
• Measure acceleration and movement in the body
using an accelerometer beacon

5. Wi-Fi Mesh Network Connectivity
• Each Bluetooth detector and controller unit is fitted with
WiFi mesh to enable them to communicate with each other
and pass data onto the central controller unit
• The WiFi mesh has two channels enabled, which would
allow for the beacon technology to run on the network and
in addition supply a 2nd channel for private or public WiFi
use
• 2nd channel can be used to connect existing applications
currently being used in tunnelling projects or can be used
by workers to make calls over WiFi
• WiFi mesh is self healing, self learning network that is
scalable and supports permanent and temporary
configurations
• A full survey will outline the amount of WiFi units required,
these can reach up to 100 metres in distance between each
unit, dependent upon the environment

6. Iknaia Detectors
• Iknaia detectors fitted with Bluetooth 4.0, and Wi-Fi
technology
• Tracking and monitor any smartphones, two-way radios,
tablets and laptops
• Scans for 30 seconds once every minute to detect
beacons and other devices (can be configurable,
dependent upon environment)
• Can be hard wired into a normal power supply or battery
or solar powered dependent upon the environment
• Single, self-contained enclosure for each Iknaia detector
• Option to add RFID components

7. Iknaia Software
• Iknaia’ s software works in conjunction with Iknaia
sensors and detectors to provide complete real-time
asset management and environmental monitoring
solutions
• Providing up-to-the minute information about each
sensor location, movement, security and
environmental status
• Presented on a web console for easy viewing on PCs,
laptops and optimised for mobile browsing
• Iknaia detectors report data on any Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi enabled devices offering last seen location and
movement
• Data can also be integrated into your own existing
applications via open APIs.
• Bespoke dashboard can be created together with
mobile applications for IOS, Android and Windows

8. Iknaia In Construction
• Improving the utilisation of people, assets, and materials will
have a significant effect on the profitability, efficiency as well
as the safety of the workers and will help improve the
reputation of construction businesses
• Knowing exactly where valuable tools and equipment are in
“real time” can be key to a successful construction project
• Iknaia will help protect employees in an industry where
accidents and injury are an ever present danger
– Streamline ‘check-in’ worker process
– Know where your staff are at any time within any building works
environment
– Quickly identify personnel who have been involved in an accident
or explosion via zone location
• Alerts can be triggered when worker’s temperature
environment increases
• Keeping track of tools and log and monitor activities on site
• Improve health and safety
• Iknaia data can be sent via satellite backhaul in remote
locations where no broadband or 3G connection is available
