Enhancing Construction Site Security with EdgeBox-ESP-100
In the construction industry, edge computing and cloud connectivity can be combined to enhance site
- Industry
- Construction & Infrastructure, Public Safety & Security
- Application
- Construction Site Security System
Project background and needs
A construction safety solution in Canada connects EdgeBox-ESP-100 to onsite cameras and sensors, supporting remote monitoring, edge processing, and alerts, to supplement the coverage limits of traditional guards and access control.
Onsite Monitoring Coverage
- Traditional security measures might not continuously cover the entire site.
- Access control could be bypassed without adequate protection.
Onsite monitoring and event notification needed to be supplemented.
Alert and Connectivity Delays
- Insufficient edge computing power could delay notifications.
- Without a backup connection, sensor alerts could fail to get through.
Additional computing, interfaces, and connection redundancy were needed.
Solution and architecture
Onsite Expansion
EdgeBox-ESP-100 connects to surveillance devices alongside the original edge controller, adding extra DIO/AIO interfaces.
Remote Access
A backup modem supplements the primary connection, while both edge controllers process local data and communicate with the cloud service.
