There are many ways in which construction technology can assist companies in gathering the data and insights they need to gain a better understanding of job site conditions, workers, and equipment.
It is clear that there is a range of technology tools that can transform job sites and improve the process of working on them.
1. Aiming to Improve the Visibility of Equipment
It is possible to continuously send data about the status of equipment using telematics devices from both OEMs and third parties. There are now cloud-based fleet management solutions available to contractors that allow them to integrate the telematics data from their own and rented equipment into a single platform. As a result, contractors will no longer be required to log in to multiple fleet management systems, allowing them to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of managing their entire fleet.
By allowing job site crews to access the desktop or mobile app on their devices, crews can receive alerts when fuel levels are low so that an operator does not run out of fuel on an unexpected basis. In addition to scheduling maintenance, alerts can also be configured to provide reminders when maintenance is due to be performed.
