UNLOCKED impressive return on investment : It can expedite the provisioning of machines to trades and tasks that need machines / tools to move the project forward .
Secondly , it can reduce unnecessary cost , and reallocate where demand is highest . The contractor ’ s owned fleet can be more effectively distributed across its projects , and rented fleet can be right sized for the site . In an industry where faster timelines , and more projects are always part of the plan , these high impact benefits will lower complexity when it comes to execution .
Increased safety is a crucial benefit . Where there is a clear path to a safer site is when we have true visibility to machine activity . This can include the digitisation of safety prechecks , and application of digital operator certificates to limit use of potentially dangerous machines to properly trained operators .
How can construction companies ensure the security of their data when integrating new information sources and IoT devices ?
As edge connectivity and digital platforms have quickly moved to mission critical status within construction , data security must be the provider ’ s focus . There should be an expectation that IoT providers have rigorous processes and audits in place to protect data , both at the edge and up through the platform stack . This has been a driver over the past five or more years as we ’ ve seen many construction companies , and large rental companies go from a build to buy mentality , where it has become increasingly important to have dedicated resources focused on platform security and stability .
What impact does real-time monitoring have on improving safety and reducing accidents on construction sites ?
The single most impactful activity in improving safety and reducing accidents on site , is to ensure properly trained machine operators are using digital access management and digital credential systems e . g . IPAF ( International Powered Access Federation ) EPAL .
A requirement for a digital license before you ’ re able to operate a machine creates a work site where we can almost guarantee that operators are trained to safely operate the machinery they are using .
The most important steps in sustainability on sites are around active change management through measuring and adjusting impact with asset connectivity .
