Customer success story
Arabian Construction Company Enhances Workforce Safety and Asset Visibility with AVC and Cumulocity
Customer
Arabian Construction Company (ACC) is one of the Middle East’s leading construction firms, delivering large-scale residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across the region. Its projects involve complex construction environments with large workforces and significant volumes of equipment operating across multiple sites.
Ensuring worker safety, maintaining efficient equipment usage, and coordinating activities across dynamic construction environments are critical to successful project delivery. To support these operational goals, ACC began exploring Industrial IoT technologies that could connect workers and assets while providing real-time insight into site activity.
Challenges
- Limited visibility across construction sites With workers and equipment distributed across large construction environments, site managers had limited real-time insight into workforce presence and site activity.
- Difficulty tracking mobile assets Construction equipment and shared site assets frequently move across projects and locations. Without connected monitoring, locating and managing these assets was time-consuming.
- Disconnected operational data Workforce information, asset tracking, and operational systems were managed separately, making it difficult to obtain a unified view of site operations.
- Need for a scalable Industrial AIoT platform ACC required a platform capable of supporting large-scale AIoT deployments while integrating with existing enterprise systems and workflows.
Outcomes
- Real-time workforce awareness Connected worker technology now provides site teams with improved visibility into workforce activity, supporting better co-ordination and stronger safety monitoring.
- Improved asset tracking and utilization AIoT-enabled asset monitoring allows ACC to track the location and usage of equipment across construction sites, helping reduce time spent locating assets and improving overall utilization.
- Faster operational decision making By consolidating operational data into a single platform, project teams can monitor site conditions in real time and respond more quickly to operational needs.
- Scalable AIoT foundation The Cumulocity AIoT platform enables ACC to manage large volumes of AIoT data and expand connected solutions across additional construction sites as needed.
“The Cumulocity platform is designed to handle large volumes of data for big IoT project deployment. It has transformed the way data is managed, offering real-time analytics, enabling data-driven decisions, and opening up new possibilities beyond real-time location RTLS. We can also integrate the system, the platform with our current systems and applications. This will permit us to reach the full potential of the IoT deployments without disrupting the existing workflow, allowing us to gain the competitive edge in the IoT arena.”

Details
Agile Value Consultants (AVC), a Cumulocity Pioneer Partner, built a connected workers and assets ecosystem designed specifically for large-scale construction environments. This solution was primarily created for a construction customer but can be easily used by customers in Oil & Gas, manufacturing or any other large-scale workforce. By leveraging AVC’s AIoT expertise and the scalability of the Cumulocity AIoT platform, ACC has created a connected digital ecosystem that improves workforce safety, enhances asset visibility, and supports smarter project execution across its construction operations.
What makes this success story even more powerful
AVC developed a 3D geofence feature to track the number of workers in each floor of a tower by skill (Carpenters, steel fixers etc..).
“AVC are also now implementing a pilot that introduces AI cameras with edge-compute capabilities for ultra-low-latency safety applications. By creating multiple “AI safety checkpoints” across the construction site, the system enables real-time monitoring and rapid response to potential safety risks. This AIoT innovation demonstrates how AI can deliver tangible value in real-life scenarios by improving construction worker safety while also enhancing productivity.”
