The sound of cranes, bulldozers, and other heavyweight mechanical equipment is not uncommon in developing areas. But how often do you see new buildings being constructed solely by humans? Sure, coils and slabs are built by hand, and masonry is not precisely a redundant occupation. Manual labor and hand-operated tools are quickly replacing autonomous and connected equipment. The adoption of advanced technology has revolutionized the industry and redefined construction processes significantly. Labor shortages and high costs of acquiring skilled labor have pushed the construction industry away from the traditional way of functioning.
This article explores the trending IoT solutions of the construction industry. From taking increased safety measures for on-site workers and using advanced technology for better collaboration to automating labor-intensive processes and going green via eco-friendly construction technology to driving innovation with design-build teams - we are witnessing a sea of change.
Thanks to the rise of IoT, overcoming construction labor shortages has become easier.
