Innovative Construction Project Management with RTLS
Construction is a constantly ongoing operation that is a driving force for employment and a critical pillar of industrial growth.
Around the world, there’s growing recognition of the importance of incorporating modern and advanced techniques to elevate construction practices.
RTLS in construction can leverage integrated and automated tools, paired with advanced technology, to optimize efficiency and enhance project management.
How RTLS is Transforming Construction?
Tracking Construction Materials
Tagging construction materials is key to preventing theft and mismanagement. On large projects, tagging eliminates the need for manual inspections, allowing materials to be easily located and monitored in real time.
Worker Condition Monitoring
Long hours and fatigue can lead to costly or even dangerous accidents. Wearable devices monitor workers’ locations and physical conditions, alerting supervisors to any potential risks and helping to prevent incidents before they happen.
Access Management
With a constant flow of personnel on construction sites, it’s critical to track who enters and exits. Smart check-in systems improve accuracy while reducing manual effort, ensuring the site remains safe and secure
Supply Management for Materials
Meeting deadlines often hinges on the timely delivery of materials, but poor management and planning can cause delays. RTLS automates supply chain processes, from inventory tracking to automatic reordering, ensuring materials arrive on time and in the right quantities.
Benefits of RTLS in construction include
Cost Savings
By tracking asset usage and monitoring expenses with locating tags, construction managers can reduce waste and ensure efficient distribution of resources.
Safety Improvement
Wearables and geofencing technology monitor worker health, detect hazardous situations, and provide alerts about dangerous substances, ensuring a safer working environment.
Project Management
RTLS empowers workers with access to real-time information, reducing the need for constant supervision. This fosters a more coordinated, uninterrupted workflow.
Productivity Improvement
With real-time location data, workers and equipment are always where they need to be, minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency.
For years, the construction industry has been slow to embrace new technologies, missing out on the incredible benefits of IoT, AI, and digitization. But the tide is turning—research by Klynveld-Peat-Marwick-Goerdeler indicates that 95% of building companies acknowledge the potential of IoT and believe that these technologies can significantly boost productivity.
