Challenge

Mucic & Co d.o.o. is the construction company that won a contract for building of

Arena Shopping Center in Zagreb because of their past construction projects

and innovative approach. This was one of the largest construction projects in

this part of the region in 2009/2010.

The requested system of employees and vehicles presence control needed to

support the requirements for superior site organization. Requests that the

system had to fulfil were: registering employee entry without the classic

identification cards, exact number of employees present at the site at all times,

daily reports on the number of sub-contractors work-hours, mobile identification

of workers inside the construction site, and monitoring entries of vehicles with

scanning of their identification documents.

SPICA Solution

Every day, 1500 employees registered their arrival using 8 DOX controllers, 6

entry/exit barriers, 3 ramps, 14 UHF readers and two portable handheld

computers. Technically complex, but user friendly, simple and reliable

administration system that meets requested requirements was designed using

TIME & SPACE solutions.

The integration of UHF RFID technology enables monitoring of the employees

without the need for their activity during identification. Identification equipment

consisted of a UHF RFID reader located on each side of the entry/exit barriers,

and UHF labels placed on protective helmets. UHF labels are used for

verification of identity within the construction site with a portable handheld

computer.

Entry/exit of cargo and passenger vehicles was monitored with similar process

using UHF technology. TIME & SPACE system, in addition to identifying the

vehicle, enabled scanning and saving of documents for delivery and dispatch.

TIME & SPACE has collected and processed reports in real-time, generating

customized reports that were automatically delivered to managers by e-mail.

Reports also contained number of work-hours of employees and subcontractors

for specific time intervals. Analysis and monitoring of these reports enabled the

management higher degree of control, easier fulfilment of planned work-hours

and budget savings.

Arena Shopping Center was completed on time and it is successfully used.

Spica company has confirmed the ability of system integration and

customization of TIME & SPACE solutions, which has contributed to the quality

of construction site organization and fulfilment of project deadlines.
