T-Pulse Helps Speed Up Data Center Construction while Ensuring a Risk-Free Workplace
Digitalization is like a hive mind of our 21st-century modern society, an enabler of connectivity and seamless flow of information. However, it would not have been possible without the rise of cloud-powered connected assets, which in turn are dependent on data centers. Those huge buildings dedicated to housing endless arrays of computer systems and associated components.
The construction of more data centers is critical to the evolution of the global digital landscape. After all, these data centers are the nerve centers of our interconnected world. However, building these facilities is filled with risks and challenges, particularly when it comes to ensuring workforce safety.
The construction of data centers involves complex operations and high-risk activities. Workers face hazards like falls from heights, equipment malfunctions, electrical hazards, and object strikes. Ensuring safety on these sites is not just a regulatory requirement but a moral imperative, crucial for safeguarding the well-being of the people who build and maintain this vital infrastructure.

- Implementing real-time, data-driven systems for round-the-clock monitoring and improvement of processes.
Integrating T-Pulse's Transformative Safety Model for Construction Safety
Recognizing the need for an innovative, comprehensive solution, our client called upon Detect Technologies for the implementation of T-Pulse, our well-known industrial automation AI, marking a significant milestone in their journey to absolute workplace safety and unyielding operational excellence.
Our engineers got to work evaluating their requirements and tailoring our award-winning AI solution T-Pulse to not just meet but surpass their expectations.
T-Pulse utilizes advanced AI technology to create a sophisticated IoT ecosystem for workplace risk management. By integrating seamlessly with existing CCTV and sensor infrastructure, T-Pulse continuously analyzes data to provide safety officers with actionable insights, enabling them to proactively address potential risks.
In terms of data center construction, this translates to continuous real-time safety monitoring across construction sites, identification of instances of non-compliance, and corrective recommendations delivered as actionable insights to onsite oversight.
Trained to automatically track compliance across 8 categories of most common safety violations and utilizing a custom neural network model exposed to over 100 scenarios, T-Pulse captures and reports even the minutest of protocol deviations.
Results Achieved
T-Pulse’s ever-watchful eye empowered data-driven safety decisions, thereby ensuring continuous enhancement of safety protocols. It reduced on-site safety violations by 95% and enhanced worker awareness earning wide recognition and awards including the prestigious Gold Skoch ESG award.
T-Pulse divided the entire construction site into zones, identifying and reporting safety noncompliance across functional zones with photographs and 10-second videos of deviations. It recommended corrective actions on detected deviations, triggering a 5-level escalation to management-level teams on a centralized dashboard meant to enhance coordination. As a result, a reduction of 80% in zone-wise dangerous exposure time was observed.
Automated Activity Briefs and E-Permits
Further expansion of system for daily activity briefs and E-Permits streamlined construction planning, allowing for gains of over 22% on planned project hours. This was achieved by facilitating daily briefings to align contractors with their work areas, proactively identifying and resolving potential clashes. E-Permits digitized the work permit system, standardizing procedures for task authorization management.
Conclusion
The deployment of T-Pulse empowered the client, helping them achieve better workplace safety, higher operational efficiency, and cross-functional collaboration. T-Pulse emerged as a pivotal tool in the client’s commitment to excellence, setting new benchmarks in an innovative and transformative journey of construction safety.
The era of smart construction has finally dawned. Try T-Pulse today and impart unprecedented levels of visibility, coordination, speed, and safety to your projects.
