Customer solution
Spark worked with asBuilt to understand their desired outcomes. We then designed an integrated solution, including:
- Light, sound and humidity sensors from Sensum to record environmental conditions and impacts
- Automated near-realtime reporting with the asBuilt platform, supported by Microsoft Azure
- Connectivity backhaul for onsite cameras to strengthen security
- Spark LoRaWAN, 4G and Cat-M1 networks
For the site in Wynyard Quarter, Spark sourced sensing technology and set up the integration with Microsoft Azure. Spark networks are the foundation for connecting condition monitoring devices to the platform. All project partners share one digital ecosystem, resulting in greater collaboration and insights.
Results
Together, we achieved live reporting on almost all aspects of the construction site. Watch the story below.
