Use case: Construction Firms and Stone Crushers (Quarries)

Construction sites and quarries share an operational reality that few traditional systems handle well: they are changing, large-scale, high-exposure environments, where risk appears through opportunity and site conditions. In construction, the perimeter shifts by phase and access points change; in quarries, the footprint is wide, operations are heavy, there are hazardous zones, and connectivity is often remote. In both cases, a single failure—an improvised gate, a shift without discipline, a down link—can translate into theft, vandalism, recurring incidents, human risk, and losses that are hard to prove.

SiteOne turns jobsites and quarries into a governed operation: phase- or zone-based zoning, policy-driven access control, truck traceability, 24/7 human verification, operational telemetry, and managed continuity. The goal isn’t “more surveillance,” but evidence-driven operations, fewer recurring losses, and sustained visibility even where terrestrial networks are weak or nonexistent.

In these environments, risk is rarely sophisticated—it’s opportunistic and repetitive. On construction sites, the classic pattern is nighttime: tools, wiring, materials, and equipment disappear when the site goes blind or when the temporary perimeter has weak points. In quarries, beyond theft there’s a critical component: operational and human safety. After-hours presence in heavy machinery zones or restricted areas can become serious incidents, and without evidence, operational learning never happens.

The other major reality is connectivity: many of these sites operate on fragile links. When internet fails, the most valuable thing is lost: visibility and evidence, and the site is exposed precisely when an event occurs.

Typical risks

Night theft of materials, tools, fuel, and equipment.
Dynamic or extensive perimeters with blind spots and poorly controlled zones.
Improvised access and informal exceptions (“they let them through”).
Vendors and trucks outside their window, re-entries, and unauthorized routes.
Vandalism and informal occupation on jobsites (or intrusion in quarries).
Unauthorized presence in hazardous zones (human/operational risk, especially in quarries).
False alarms from dust, lighting, site changes, wildlife, or heavy activity.
Weak connectivity → incomplete CCTV and logs; broken evidence.
Recurring incidents without learning due to lack of metrics, SOPs, and evidence.
Disputes and claims (insurers, contractors) due to missing traceability.

Here, the solution can’t be rigid. It must adapt to the site and operating tempo: phase-based in construction; zone- and shift-based in quarries. It must also reduce noise (because these environments naturally generate false alarms), verify with humans 24/7 to act with judgment, and ensure continuity so evidence isn’t lost. SiteOne integrates these layers as the site’s operating system: detect → verify → act → document, with consistent procedures and continuous improvement.

solution applied

1) Dynamic zoning and context-driven control (OMNIRIX™)

OMNIRIX™ turns networked cameras + AI + video analytics into actionable information. In construction, it enables phase-based zones and reconfigures areas of interest as the jobsite evolves: perimeter, temporary storage, access points, material zones. In quarries, it supports zoning by operational areas (yards, plant, internal routes, restricted zones) and learns normal patterns by shift. This is key to reducing environment-driven false alarms (dust, glare, heavy activity) and prioritizing real events: intrusion, loitering, abnormal dwell time, suspicious vehicles, and off-window activity.

2) 24/7 human verification and SOP execution (SOC / HITL)

The 24/7 SOC turns detection into outcomes. It verifies alerts, prevents unnecessary escalation, executes procedures (e.g., remote voice deterrence when appropriate), coordinates escalation to on-site teams or authorities, and preserves defensible evidence. This reduces exposure for local staff, eliminates improvisation, and enables useful reporting for management, contractors, and insurers.

3) Policy-governed access (AURIX Gate™)

On jobsites and quarries, risk grows when access is handled “by habit.” AURIX Gate™ turns gates and critical access points into role/schedule rules: staff, contractors, vendors, maintenance, security. The most important piece is exception control: manual openings and bypasses become auditable (owner, reason, time window, and evidence). This reduces collusion, unauthorized access, and shift-based gaps.

4) Vehicle traceability and truck control (LPR)

In both environments, vehicle logistics is a risk vector: off-window trucks, re-entries, irregular routes. LPR creates a shift-based vehicle ledger: entries/exits, dwell time, patterns, and alerts. On jobsites, it organizes vendors; in quarries, it reduces leakage and strengthens dispatch/entry control.

5) Operational telemetry (HELIX™ – when applicable)

In quarries and mission-critical jobsites, HELIX™ provides telemetry for continuity: power, asset states, and out-of-pattern consumption. This doesn’t only prevent downtime—it also reduces operational “surprises” and accelerates technical response.

6) Managed continuity for remote sites (CELESTRIX™)

Many of these sites are where connectivity is fragile. CELESTRIX™delivers managed satellite connectivity to keep visibility, evidence, and control. Pro/Ultra adds redundancy, QoS, and failover to prioritize CCTV/voice/critical systems—avoiding operational blindness.

7) Recurring-pattern investigation (AegisRIX™ – when applicable)

When there are recurring losses, collusion signals, or shift-based repeat incidents, AegisRIX™ analyzes evidence-based patterns and sequences and proposes corrective controls: time windows, roles, SOPs, escalation, and process changes. This turns suspicion into measurable operational decisions.

When a jobsite or quarry operates with continuous visibility and 24/7 verification, opportunity disappears. When access policies and vehicle traceability exist, exceptions stop being control holes. And when repetition is measured, the operation learns: it corrects, standardizes, and improves over time. That maturity jump protects the asset, reduces losses, and sustains reputation with clients and insurers.

Advantages

Direct reduction in recurring losses: less night theft, less intrusion, less vandalism.
Visibility and evidence in remote sites: real continuity even without reliable terrestrial internet.
Phase- and shift-driven control: dynamic zoning on jobsites and operational discipline in quarries.
Vendor and truck traceability: windows, ledger, and patterns to reduce leakage and disputes.
Auditable exceptions: less informal bypassing, more accountability and real control.
Lower human exposure: 24/7 remote verification and consistent playbooks.
Continuous improvement: reports and KPIs to correct patterns and raise standards per project/site.
