Current day industries are using advanced technology and years of research to help reach new heights of efficiency, production and profits. One of the main ways projects are being streamlined and optimized is through the use of data and analytics.
This technological advancement across industries is being seen in the Construction industry, where risk assessment, maintenance, project planning and more are being enhanced by data and research. At Central Wire, our product lines can support Construction projects by offering repairs that last, and the peace of mind that our products offer durability and strength.
This blog will explore some of the trends shaping Construction plans and projects, as well as our most relevant product offerings in this industry.
Risk Analysis and Predictive Analytics
Two of the major priorities in the Construction industry are safety and production. Many projects are on strict timelines, requiring efficient work with minimal downtime. Any machine failure or breakdown would severely affect efficiency and halt production, leading to projects falling behind schedule.
Leaning on AI technology to collect and analyze data, companies are using predictive maintenance to improve awareness of when machinery may need repair, rather than only finding issues when malfunction occurs or on assumed schedules. This ensures major repairs are not required, and that projects do not have to stop for long periods of time.
On the topic of safety, the focus on preventing worker injury can also be aided by big data analysis. Whilst team members are all hard at work, data analytics can monitor the site for potential risks, and alert appropriate members if one is found. Mitigation strategies to ensure these risks are solved, or do not become a problem can also be analyzed, helping to keep workers safe in a labor-intensive industry.
Using data and analytics not only helps to keep Construction tasks productive and efficient but offers a second set of eyes on the safety of a job site.
Project Management: Planning, Scheduling and Modelling
Planning, scheduling and modelling a Construction project can be tedious and taxing. Ensuring you have the right number of employees, adequate machinery, a realistic schedule and more can leave room for planning errors.
Deploying data analytics and predictive modelling in this industry allows a detailed evaluation of design elements, materials, cost data, worker requirements, production schedule and more, offering a full scope of what’s required to get a project to completion.
Companies can also evaluate the risk of potential overspending, or finishing behind schedule, by analyzing all this data beforehand, including where added costs may be required once production has begun.
A fully detailed project management system, fit with this detailed plan and schedule, allows project teams to ensure they are prepared to meet production goals and deadlines, while accounting for downtime and overspending risks.
Quality Control and Cost Reduction
High-quality, efficient Construction projects rely on quality control, as does every industry we serve. Data analysis in this industry can help ensure that project specifications, inspection standards, defect reports and more are being met and adhered to. Proactivity on these standards and regulations prevents any breaches that may slow production or even stop the project entirely.
Beyond simply the risk of overspending, cost reduction analysis aids in knowing where exactly what money is being spent, and where costs can be lowered and balanced to stay under budget. This can also help in estimating the cost of future projects and getting an idea of overall profit for a company on a specific project.
Analyzing and assessing strict quality control and cost analysis data helps to remain ahead of any issues relating to conformance and industry standards, balance costs as efficiently as possible, and enhance the quality of a completed project.
