SPARK Microsystems, Canada’s ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless technology pioneer, has partnered with TokenMe, a Dutch Construction Tech company specializing in innovative sensor and tracking systems. The collaboration unites SPARK’s ultra-low-power, high-speed SPARK LE-UWB™ solution with TokenMe’s AI-based monitoring platform, delivering an unprecedented amount of visibility and control to complex construction sites.
Transforming Large-Scale Construction with Real-Time Asset and Personnel Tracking
One of the first and most compelling deployments of the joint solution is already underway at Denmark’s New Odense University Hospital. Covering a whopping 250,000 m2 over several levels, the site presents the kind of logistical challenge where traditional tools often fall short.
TokenMe’s system, supercharged by SPARK’s LE-UWB™ tech, enables precise tracking of assets, personnel, and tasks in real time. This results in increased safety monitoring, minimized equipment losses, and far more acute operational decision-making.
“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.
Revolutionising Industrial IoT with SPARK Microsystems’ Proprietary UWB Technology
SPARK Microsystems’ proprietary UWB tech is not merely another wireless standard. It combines high data rates, ultra-low latency, and energy efficiency, making it uniquely suited to the demands of industrial IoT in harsh environments.
It supports:
- Real-time location tracking with sub-30cm accuracy
- Secure, interference-resistant communication
- Long battery life for remote and mobile sensors
This makes it ideal for applications like geo-fencing, motion detection, and even fall alerts – all of which are critical in reducing onsite injuries and boosting compliance.
“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:” said Hans van Leeuwen, CEO of TokenMe.
Their offering includes:
- Real-time crew and asset monitoring
- Integration with existing construction workflows
- Actionable safety alerts via motion/fall detection
- Long-range wireless coverage with minimal infrastructure
More importantly, TokenMe does not stop at collecting data. Their AI engine helps convert vast information into strategic actions. Whether it’s rerouting foot traffic around danger zones or pinpointing bottlenecks in equipment use, it’s all about proactive decision-making.
Transforming Construction with Connected IoT and Advanced Safety Solutions
The SPARK-TokenMe integration showcases a bigger shift happening across the industry: the long-awaited rise of industrial IoT in construction. As sites grow in size, complexity, and pace, paper-based processes and standalone safety systems simply can’t keep up.
With the SPARK LE-UWB™ framework acting as the nervous system, and TokenMe delivering the brains, the combined platform brings:
- Higher operational visibility
- Enhanced safety compliance
- Predictive maintenance and optimisation
- Scalable deployment across multiple project sites
The connected construction has become a foundational layer for competitive, sustainable development.
Custom-Tailored IoT Solutions Driving Global Industrial and Construction Innovation
While both companies have global ambitions, their approach remains highly tailored to individual site needs. TokenMe, with its roots in the Netherlands and manufacturing in Singapore, has already established a sales presence across Europe, the US and Japan. SPARK Microsystems, meanwhile, is still advancing its wireless technology for further applications across mobile, consumer, and industrial markets.
Together, they offer an end-to-end ecosystem that makes no compromises on power, performance, or precision.
Pioneering a Safer, Smarter Construction Future with AI and Sensor Fusion
As technologies in AI, robotics, and sensor fusion come together, the construction industry digital shift finds itself at crossroads.
SPARK and TokenMe are making a compelling case for a new gold standard in safety and efficiency. Their model not only minimises risk and maximises insight but also offers a sustainable, scalable path forward.
With regulations tightening, labour shortages increasing, and margins under pressure, the ability to run a safer, smarter site isn’t just a competitive edge – it’s a survival strategy.
Leading Construction’s Digital Transformation with Innovative Wireless and AI Integration
The collaboration of SPARK Microsystems’ cutting-edge wireless tech with TokenMe’s boots-on-the-ground AI-driven platform marks more than a construction industry digital shift. It’s a clear signal that the construction world is ready to embrace the next generation of digital transformation.
