Construction technology and asset tracking software solutions

Rugged mobile devices for construction workers

The construction site environment is fraught with hazards, so safe and effective communication is vital. Working at height, noise, harmful materials, vehicles, plant, equipment and movement of materials are just a few of the on-site risks. With fatal accidents in the construction industry being double the average of other sectors, it’s vitally important for construction companies to enhance the safety of their workers by equipping them with the appropriate rugged mobile devices and construction software solutions to complement their existing health and safety solutions. 

As a partner to leading manufacturers of rugged mobile devices for construction workers, we're able to offer an impressive range of products with the following benefits: 

• Reduced downtime associated with consumer devices; rugged mobile devices are designed to withstand harsh construction environments including extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration and altitude, without slowing down. 
• Enhanced safety features allows you to monitor the safety of your workforce and lone workers continually. Push-to-talk software capabilities provide productive communications and job tasking with a single-button press opening fast and accurate digital communication with no transmission limits. 
• Reduce your insurance costs with a built-in G-meter that will instantly alert all users to check on staff should it sense a fall; contributing toward your BS8383 accreditation.

Tracking for construction equipment and inventory with RFID technology & software

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology plays a pivotal role in modern construction practices, particularly in light of regulatory changes such as the Building Safety Act 2022.  By embedding RFID tags in materials and equipment, construction companies can digitally track crucial details such as location, usage history, and maintenance records. This level of transparency is crucial not only for operational efficiency but also for compliance with the golden thread requirements outlined in the Building Safety Act.

Using RFID technology and construction asset tracking software, we are able to offer a diverse range of benefits to your business:

• Reduced costs associated with lost and misplaced tools and equipment. Use RFID technology to track your assets across your site and digitally track details such as what tools have been checked out, by who, and how long it was used for.
• Streamlined inventory management using RFID technology to electronically track and store location, inspection and certification data, and available materials.
• Avoid costly errors related to equipment delivery and management. Asset tracking software with RFID-encoded barcode labels can be used in residential construction to allocate materials to houses to reduce the risk of theft and waste and improve forecasting. 
• Control labour costs using RFID workforce management software. Keep track of who is on-site and hours worked as well as training, skills test and certification statuses.
• Ensure compliance with The Building Safety Act with digital documentation that is accessible, secure, and up-to-date.

Rugged tablet devices with quality assurance (QA) software

Construction quality assurance relies heavily on manual processes, particularly during the building and inspection stages. Projects can quickly see quality and costs spiral without frequent site inspections, monitoring and communication. Reduce time-consuming and inefficient QA processes by implementing rugged tablets and laptops for construction workers. With these devices, you can consolidate status reports and manage and plan tasks instantaneously, allowing your business to: 

• Reduce errors and streamline project management at the push of a button. Rugged tablet devices allow site managers to access real-time information on the current project on the go. No need to wait for paperwork to be submitted; access everything you need directly from your device. 
• Maintain consistent standards across multiple sites. Rugged tablets allow for continuous communication and interaction throughout the project. Share everything from quality assurance reports to building inspections in real-time to capture any emerging quality issues before they become costly problems. 
• Improve efficiency and productivity with paperless administration; sign off work, update projects, reject damaged product deliveries and more asynchronously.
