CES 2024: AI-powered TokenMe Redefines Large-Scale Construction at Denmark’s New Odense University Hospital

CES Innovation Award honoree tracks 1,000 workers across 247,000 square meters at Denmark’s largest hospital

TokenMe, a Dutch company that makes construction projects safer, more cost-efficient and productive using mobile sensors, AI and real-time monitoring, today unveiled details of its first large-scale project: the New Odense University Hospital (OUH), the largest hospital in Denmark. TokenMe installed nearly 500 of its wall-mounted sensor hubs (anchors) and delivered 1,500 wearable smart badges (tokens) to the OUH construction site in 2023 to track tasks, assets and one thousand workers at the new ‘super hospital,’ which covers 247,000 square meters and will offer 10,000 rooms across 7 buildings. The results of TokenMe’s smart monitoring are published on an intuitive dashboard used by general contractor management, risk managers, subcontractors and safety teams.

TokenMe is demonstrating its solution live at the Netherlands Pavilion at the Consumer Electronics Show at Eureka Park, Booth 62100-33 in the Venetian Expo, January 9–12, 2024. TokenMe offers a demo kit that can be brought to customer premises to run a 6-anchor trial in minutes. Watch this short video to learn more about TokenMe.

Aroldo Tegon, project manager of the New Odense University Hospital construction project, explained, “Both CMB and Itinera, the construction firms leading the Odense Hospital Project Team, invested in TokenMe and other technologies because we recognize their value. TokenMe’s real-time data helps mitigate risks, monitor environmental factors, and is assisting in the decision-making process.”

“Massive construction sites come with additional risks due to scale,” added Brian Taammoli, the Odense Hospital Project Team’s risk manager. “With TokenMe’s smart construction monitoring, we’re now able to track 1,000 workers spread out over 22 kilometers of corridors. The system was implemented in early 2023 and the workers are comfortable with it, as they are educated about its GDPR compliance and functionalities.”

How TokenMe Works

TokenMe uses wireless tag and sensor technologies to monitor “boots on the ground” and improve safety at construction sites using UWB, LoRa, WiFi and BLE technologies. Construction workers wear smart badges or helmet tags (tokens) that transmit anonymous data to battery-powered mobile anchors mounted at strategic locations across the site. The anchors send the information — worker presence, motion, temperature, humidity, loud sound, air quality, and light intensity — to the TokenMe database (cloud or on-premise), where data is processed using AI and rules to provide meaningful real-time insights and predictions on construction workflow and building conditions.

The TokenMe dashboard visualizes data as graphs, lists, and maps, giving an overview of task execution, location of materials and equipment, real-time presence of personnel, and progress tracking and predictions. Falls are one of the highest risks leading to fatal accidents. TokenMe uses a fall-detect and a “request for help” button to generate warnings and critical alarms. The easy-to-install solution substantially improves safety, reduces delays, and reduces project costs.

TokenMe’s monthly subscription model enables quick adoption with low capital investment.

“The construction industry runs on tight schedules, but most project management tools fail to provide real-time visibility and consistent progress reports on subcontractor activity,” said Hans van Leeuwen, CEO and founder of TokenMe. “Instead of weekly or monthly timesheet reports, TokenMe provides a real-time count and location of workers and enables proactive and predictive planning of thousands of people and assets. We are extremely proud to be a CES 2023 Innovation Award honoree and look forward to presenting the next-generation AI-driven TokenMe to industry leaders at our CES booth.”

TokenMe saves valuable time and money on large-scale construction projects.
