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 That outdated perception has been replaced by conversations on advanced technologies that are being used across jobsites, in equipment cabs, and in maintenance bays.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.

How To Get The IoT Network Design And Strategy Perfect For Your Smart Building Project

 

If you are involved in the design, planning, development, or construction of “intelligent buildings” (smart buildings) in any way …. than you are on the cutting edge of innovative facility/property engineering and management.

With this lofty position comes the responsibility of ensuring that the smart technology employed to make the entire project work as designed, and perform as expected, is solidly in place. That can be very stressful, but with the right help it doesn’t need to be.

In order for your smart building project to be successful there is one critical factor crucial to the overall performance of the entire smart ecosystem. That is your overall IoT network design and strategy. Get this wrong and your entire project is at risk.

Your IoT network design must include:

1. Network connectivity – every sensor/device must be connected to a network enabling data collected to be shared where and when it is needed.  Your choices are wired or wireless (depending on your operating environment) including LAN, WAN, WLAN, WWAN, and SDWAN.
2. Sensor Technology – What type of sensors are needed and where. Can they stand-up to the intended work environment?
3. Data Analytics – the software program used to collect, store, transmit, and analyze all of the data must be up to the task, and secure.
4. Network Security – this is critical.  IoT devices are very vulnerable to cyber-attacks and if breached the results can be catastrophic.  Employing Zero Trust or Defense-in-Depth frameworks and protocols is the method of choice.

How IoT (Internet of Things) Technology Can Make Your HVAC System Smart And Energy Efficient

Commercial buildings account for 40% of the global energy consumption. 60-70% of this consumption goes towards the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems of the building. Inefficient operations can easily account for 20-30% of the total energy waste. Eliminating such a waste can help reduce global energy consumption by 10%. This is beneficial not only for businesses in terms of cost effectiveness, but also benefits the environment by lowering greenhouse gas emissions. It’s also our responsibility to plug such leakages in our attempt to pass on a planet that is better than the one we inherited from our previous generations.
