What is TARMEH TESA?

​

TARMEH delivers the TESA system — a workforce digitization platform that equips companies with precise, real-time visibility over their human workforce. The BiB device is placed directly on the person, transforming individual worker activity into structured digital data for operational oversight.

Core Purpose TESA creates a complete digital copy of the workforce, enabling companies to monitor and manage worker activity, inactivity, location, and behavior across industrial sites.

​

Key Components

​

1. BiB Device

   • Worn on the person for continuous data capture.

   • Tracks activity and inactivity patterns.

   • Monitors worker whereabouts in real time.

   • Detects instances of sleeping on the workplace.

   • Built for harsh industrial conditions (dust, vibration, extreme temperatures).

   • Long battery life with low-maintenance design.

2. TESA Platform

   • Centralized dashboard providing live workforce visibility.

   • Aggregates data from all BiB devices across sites.

   • AI-powered analytics for activity classification and anomaly detection.

   • Role-based access for supervisors, safety teams, and management.

3. Zoning System

   • Creates a digital representation (zoning) of the physical site — whether a mine, construction area, plant, or other industrial zone.

   • Defines virtual boundaries and zones for precise location tracking.

   • Supports activity monitoring within specific zones (e.g., restricted areas, high-risk work zones).

   • Enables geofencing-style alerts for unauthorized presence, inactivity, or sleeping detection.

4. Data Flow

   • BiB devices → Edge processing → Secure server backend → Dashboard, alerts, and reports.

​

Main Benefits

​

• Workforce Digitization: Turns physical human activity into reliable digital records.

• Activity & Inactivity Monitoring: Real-time insights into active work periods versus downtime or inactivity.

• Worker Whereabouts: Continuous location tracking across the site.

• Sleeping Detection: Identifies workers sleeping on the workplace for immediate operational response.

• Zoning Control: Maintains a live digital map of the entire site with workforce positioning.

• Operational Efficiency: Reduces unauthorized downtime, improves resource allocation, and strengthens site control.

• Scalability: Suitable for single sites or multi-site operations.

​

Deployment Options

​

• On-Premises Server: Fully self-hosted on company infrastructure for complete data ownership and control.

• TARMEH Pipeline: Use TARMEH as a secure data pipeline while keeping primary storage and processing on company servers.

• Hybrid configurations available to match your data governance requirements.

​

Use Cases by Industry

​

• Mining: Track operator activity, location in underground/open-pit zones, and inactivity/sleeping events.

• Construction: Monitor workforce movement across site zones and detect unauthorized downtime.

• Energy & Industrial: Maintain visibility over field teams and enforce zone-based activity rules.

Getting Started with TESA Integration

​

These guides cover deployment and integration of the TESA system for digitizing your workforce while maintaining full control over data.

Prerequisites

• Site assessment (TARMEH support available).

• Network connectivity (Wi-Fi, cellular, or wired).

• Access to existing operations or safety systems (if integrating).

Typical Deployment Timeline: 4–18 weeks depending on site scale.

​

1. Hardware Installation Guide

​

Step-by-Step

1. Distribute and assign BiB devices to personnel.

2. Configure device settings for the specific site zones.

3. Set up server connection (on-prem or pipeline mode).

4. Perform initial calibration and zone mapping.

5. Verify activity tracking, location accuracy, and sleeping detection.

Best Practices

• Ensure devices are properly fitted and charged.

• Define all operational zones during setup for accurate digital site representation.

• Test coverage across different site areas.

​

2. Software & Platform Setup

​

• Create organization account on the TESA dashboard.

• Define site zones and geofences for digital workforce mapping.

• Configure alert rules for inactivity, sleeping detection, and zone violations.

• Set up user roles and notification channels (email, SMS, dashboard).

​

3. API & Third-Party Integrations

​

Available Integrations

• Existing Safety/Operations Management Systems.

• SCADA and IoT platforms.

• Workforce management and HR systems.

• Custom alerting tools.

Key Endpoints (High-level)

• /workers/activity – Real-time activity/inactivity status.

• /workers/location – Current whereabouts and zone information.

• /workers/alerts – Events including sleeping detection.

• /zones – Manage digital site zoning.

• /reports – Historical data export.

Authentication: OAuth2 / API keys with role-based permissions.

​

4. Server Deployment Options

​

• Company-Owned Server Only: Full on-premises installation with no external data flow.

• TARMEH Data Pipeline: TARMEH handles secure data routing and processing while your company retains primary control and storage.

• Data remains encrypted end-to-end in all configurations.

​

5. Testing & Go-Live Checklist

​

• Test activity/inactivity detection.

• Validate location tracking and zone enforcement.

• Simulate sleeping events and zone boundary violations.

• Train teams on dashboard usage.

• Conduct full site coverage verification.

​

Troubleshooting Common Issues

​

• Device not reporting? Check battery, fit, and network.

• Inaccurate zone detection? Refine digital zoning map.

• Missing alerts? Review configured thresholds.
