The paper presents a hybrid manpower tracking framework that integrates Long Range (LoRa) connectivity and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technologies for largescale construction and industrial environments. The proposed system combines the long-distance communication capability of LoRa with the proximity-based sensing advantages of BLE to enable real-time monitoring of workforce movement and distribution across project sites. The architecture supports efficient data acquisition, scalable deployment, and low operational cost while ensuring reliable communication in challenging environments. The developed system facilitates improved workforce visibility, optimized resource allocation, and enhanced decision making for project management. The experimental deployment and system evaluation demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach in improving operational efficiency and accelerating project execution.
The evolution of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has fundamentally transformed the monitoring and management of physical environments across diverse domains such as smart infrastructure, industrial automation, and construction management (Kumar et al., 2019). By integrating sensors, embedded devices, and communication networks, IoT systems enable real-time data collection, intelligent analysis, and automated decision making.
