How IoT Technology Is The Secret Weapon For Successful Construction Projects…Saving Time And Money

 

Anyone picturing the construction industry may imagine heavy machinery, hard-hatted workers, and even towering structures. But if you’ve been keeping up with the ‘latest tech’ trends, you probably know what the term ‘Internet of Things’ is and how it’s being used in transforming industries left and right. Well, the construction sector is no exception. IoT technology is reshaping the construction sector, presenting a multitude of benefits for project management and execution.

IoT is transforming equipment reliability and project management for the construction industry in ways previously unimagined by enabling informed decision-making and better coordinated workflows. The industry faces excessive pressure because of tight deadlines, and the need to optimize time, people, and resources to meet narrow budgets. Implementing an aggressive IoT strategy across your construction site gives you a distinct advantage for having a successful construction project.

Imagine a construction site where materials are tracked in real time, and potential equipment failures are predicted before they happen. This isn’t the future—it’s happening now, thanks to the transformative power of Internet of Things (IoT) in the construction industry.

How The Internet Of Things (IoT) Is Revolutionizing Construction Sites

 

The construction industry – which has sometimes been labeled as slow to adopt technology changes – has come a long way in recent years. That outdated perception has been replaced by conversations on advanced technologies that are being used across jobsites, in equipment cabs, and in maintenance bays. Businesses in the construction space are adopting new solutions to stay competitive in the face of emerging industry standards and shifting client demands.

In the rapidly evolving construction industry, IoT connectivity is reshaping traditional construction sites into smart, efficient, and safe environments. By embedding IoT sensors into equipment, machinery, and infrastructure, real-time data on performance, safety, and environmental conditions is gathered and analyzed. This data empowers project managers to monitor progress, predict maintenance needs, and make informed decisions, ultimately enhancing efficiency and productivity.

The 5 Stages Of IIoT Initiatives

 

IIoT solutions provide powerful tools for efficiency, agility, and sustainability, enabling real-time data monitoring, predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, and improved collaboration. The current landscape shows increased investments in IIoT by both large and small organizations, with notable early adopters successfully “crossing the chasm” and gaining more traction with the mainstream market. Microsoft, partnering with IoT Analytics, just released this week their 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 𝐃𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 – 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐨𝐓 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 report. In this report, statistics and best practices are presented for implementing Industrial IoT (IIoT) initiatives based on three approaches: custom-build, buy-and-integrate, and buy. Each approach is evaluated for its pros and cons. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞: • 𝟔𝟓% of organizations are now executing an IoT strategy. • IIoT projects today have a 𝟏𝟒% higher success rate than five years ago. • Projects have a median break-even time of 𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬, compared to 𝟐𝟒 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 five years ago. • Approximately two in five IIoT projects today are custom-BUILD solutions. • The share of IIoT projects for which companies BUY an off-the-shelf solution increased from 𝟗% to 𝟑𝟎% in the past two years. • Implementation challenges and budget restrictions have dropped by 𝟑𝟎% and 𝟏𝟑%, respectively, as key concerns compared to five years ago.

How Internet of Things (IoT) & Cyber Physical Systems Will Shape The 4th Industrial Revolution (VIDEO)

IoT, short for Internet of things, & Cyber physical systems are going to shape the future of technology and the 4th industrial revolution or industry 4.0. The quote from the "Economist" in 2017 "The world's most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data" holds true today more than ever before. Internet of Things is one of the pillars of the 4th industrial revolution. With the increase in adoption of different technologies such as Machine Learning, Augmented Reality, Cyber Physical Systems and IoT, the world of digital transformation is about to take another leap in the next few years. The technological advancements around the world is directly proportional to the growth of global automation which is driven by the Internet of Things and Cyber physical systems. These systems will provide the foundation of our critical infrastructure, form the basis of emerging and future smart services, and improve our quality of life in many areas. While Internet of Things takes care of the connections between objects and machines to the internet, Cyber physical systems are machines in which a mechanism is controlled or monitored by computer-based algorithms. Other phrases that you might hear when discussing Internet of Things and Cyber physical systems are Smart Anything: Manufacturing, agriculture, Cities, Buildings, Homes, pills etc.
