Connectivity in construction

Decreasing downtime and improving safety

Connected machines and devices allow the seamless flow of information at construction sites. The resulting data provides a surface-level view of the equipment fleet’s location and performance. 

 

Where this data becomes valuable is if stakeholders can proactively predict machine failures or remotely control them anytime and from anywhere to 

 

  • limit or remove unsafe circumstances,
  • avoid costly operational downtime, 
  • and consequently avert frustrating project delays. 

 

Whether it’s setting fuel levels, automated intervals, software version, energy consumption, or temperature controls, being able to diagnose parameters on operating machines—and modify them on-the-fly without having to travel on-site—improves operational efficiencies. This in turn puts more confidence across various layers of construction project management.
