SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specialising in short-range wireless communications announced a strategic partnership with TokenMe, a firm focused on applying sensor and tracking solutions in construction technology.
The partnership brings together SPARK’s ultra-wideband (SPARK LE-UWB) wireless technology with TokenMe’s intelligent monitoring platform to transform how IoT is deployed on construction sites. The integrated solution enables precise real-time localisation and secure data transmission, crucial for optimising operations and improving worker safety across large and complex construction environments.
A successful deployment of this technology is currently underway at the New Odense University Hospital in Denmark, where TokenMe’s system, powered by SPARK LE-UWB, manages real-time tracking of tasks, assets, and personnel across the 250,000m2 construction site. As a result of this implementation, operational oversight and safety compliance has improved.
“Our partnership with TokenMe leverages SPARK Microsystems’ advanced UWB wireless connectivity to deliver unmatched precision and reliability in real-time monitoring – essential for the dynamic nature of large-scale construction projects,” said Fares Mubarak, CEO of SPARK Microsystems. “SPARK LE-UWB technology provides the secure, low-latency, and power-efficient communication needed for industrial IoT applications, setting a new standard in the industry.”
“The integration of SPARK Microsystems’ UWB technology into our tokens, anchors and sensor hubs enables us to deliver real-time, actionable insights, driving both productivity and safety,” added Hans van Leeuwen, CEO of TokenMe. “SPARK’s UWB technology allows accurate counting of workers at any strategic location, providing geo-fencing, motion and fall detection – crucial for providing quick insight and improving worker’s safety while maintaining uninterrupted performance on demanding construction sites.”
