Optimizing Weighing Operations Across Archirodon’s EPC Sites with Advanced Automation and Cloud Integration
Introduction
Archirodon, a global leader in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contracting, sought to streamline its weighing operations across 10 project sites, including NEOM City in Saudi Arabia, and ports in Morocco and Greece. The company required a robust automation solution to ensure real-time data visibility, enhanced security, and operational efficiency. Through advanced weighing systems, cloud reporting, and Microsoft SSO integration, Endel Digital, enabled Archirodon to achieve seamless data management, secure access control, and improved decision-making, setting a benchmark for digital transformation in the EPC sector.
"The cloud solution has been a game-changer for us, providing unparalleled efficiency and transparency across our weighing operations. The integration with our systems was seamless, and the security measures exceeded our expectations."

Managing Complex EPC Operations
1. Decentralized Data Management and Integration
Managing data across multiple global sites led to challenges in synchronization and accessibility. Different systems and manual processes hindered real-time reporting, causing delays. Archirodon needed a centralized solution that integrated seamlessly with existing platforms, enabling smooth data flow and real-time access for improved decision-making.
2. Accuracy and Compliance Challenges in Weighing Operations
Archirodon faced difficulties maintaining consistent, accurate weight measurements across diverse sites, crucial for regulatory compliance. Variations in environmental conditions and equipment presented challenges. They needed an automated system capable of providing precise measurements, ensuring compliance, and minimizing human error, regardless of location or material type.
3. Security Concerns and Role-Based Data Access
Securing access to sensitive weighing data across multiple regions was a significant challenge. Archirodon required a solution to ensure only authorized personnel could access specific data. Microsoft SSO was implemented, enabling secure, role-based access control, safeguarding data and maintaining internal security protocols.
4. Operational Efficiency and Workflow Optimization
Manual data entry and validation caused inefficiencies, particularly at high-traffic sites, leading to delays. Archirodon needed a solution to automate processes and reduce errors. By integrating automated weighing and cloud reporting, they streamlined workflows, increased throughput, and enhanced real-time coordination across multiple teams.
A Comprehensive Weighing Automation Ecosystem
1. Weighing Automation with Camera Integration
· Deployed automated weighing systems across 10 sites, integrated with cameras to ensure accurate weight validation and secure visual monitoring. This allowed Archirodon to maintain precise data while optimizing operational workflows.
2. Cloud-Based Reporting and Custom Dashboards
· A real-time cloud reporting solution was implemented to provide centralized access to weighing data across all sites. A custom dashboard offered site-specific insights, enabling project managers to make data-driven decisions quickly.
3. Microsoft SSO Authorization and Active Directory
· Integrated Microsoft Single Sign-On (SSO) and Active Directory to streamline secure login access. This solution ensured that only authorized personnel could access weighing data, with role-based access tailored to Archirodon’s organizational hierarchy.
Transforming Weighing Operations in EPC Projects
1. Improved Efficiency Across Sites
Automated systems reduced manual interventions, eliminating errors and improving throughput. Archirodon now achieves faster reporting and data processing, minimizing delays and boosting productivity.
2. Real-Time Data Visibility
Stakeholders gained immediate insights into weighing operations, enabling quick decision-making. With cloud-based access, project managers are empowered to resolve issues and optimize workflows promptly.
3. Enhanced Security and Compliance
The SSO integration ensured only authorized personnel could access sensitive data, maintaining compliance with internal data protection policies and improving security across multiple sites.
4. Scalable Infrastructure for Future Expansion
The solution provided a scalable foundation for Archirodon’s ongoing projects and future growth. The system can be expanded to integrate additional sites and technologies with minimal disruption to operations.
Conclusion : Setting a New Standard in Weighing Automation for EPC
Archirodon’s partnership with Endel Digital demonstrates how tailored technology solutions can address the unique challenges of EPC operations. From real-time data visibility to robust security, the project highlights the transformative power of digitalization in infrastructure management. The implemented solution not only streamlined weighing operations but also set a benchmark for digital transformation in the EPC sector.
