HFR Mobile Deploys Private 5G to Transform Safety at Construction Sites
HFR Mobile has taken a significant step in digital transformation by deploying an advanced Private 5G Network at Kolon Global’s Merck Bio Center construction site. This initiative leverages ultrafast 5G and AI technologies to redefine safety and efficiency at construction sites. The deployment highlights HFR Mobile’s commitment to integrating innovative solutions in dynamic environments like construction.
Addressing Safety Challenges in High-Risk Construction Environments
Construction sites are inherently high-risk environments where safety incidents can disrupt operations and jeopardize lives. Traditional monitoring systems often fail to provide real-time data and predictive insights. Additionally, deploying cutting-edge digital technologies such as Private 5G often comes with high costs and technical complexities, making adoption challenging in cost-sensitive industries like construction.
HFR Mobile’s Private 5G Solution for Safer, Smarter Construction
HFR Mobile addressed these challenges with a cost-effective and scalable Private 5G solution. By implementing a core-sharing Control Plane Function (CPF) at the main control center, HFR Mobile reduced deployment costs while ensuring operational efficiency. Key on-site components, including the User Plane Function (UPF), Central Unit (CU)/Distributed Unit (DU), and Radio Unit (RU), enable real-time data processing and maintain optimal network performance.
The solution integrates three primary services:
- High-quality CCTV Video Surveillance: Utilizing the high-speed, low-latency capabilities of 5G, it transmits large volumes of HD video data. AI-powered analytics enhance safety by identifying potential risks.
- Smart Safety Management Platform: This platform monitors workers’ biometric data in real time, issuing alerts or taking automated safety actions during emergencies.
- Smart Safety Equipment: Wearable devices track workers’ health and ensure preventive measures against accidents.
Proven Impact of Private 5G on Construction Site Safety
At the Merck Bio Center, the implementation of these services has already demonstrated significant benefits. The real-time video surveillance has improved situational awareness, while biometric monitoring has enabled swift responses to potential hazards. HFR Mobile’s solution not only enhances safety but also improves operational efficiency by leveraging advanced AI technologies.
