April - 2022CONSTRUCTIONTECHREVIEW.COM6From smartwatches to medical alert pendants, wearable technology plays an integral role in our everyday lives. Likewise, wearable technology is improving the safety level at construction sites also. Monitoring devices and sensors provide built-in warning systems to detect everything from potential collisions to changes in a worker's vital signs. This not only helps in reducing the risk of accidents at construction sites but also improve productivity through time and worker location tracking. Notably, wearable tech in construction is being embedded into apparel and personal protective equipment like hard hats, gloves, safety vests, and work boots. As great as it sounds, smart work boots and hard hats are changing the way workers and project managers communicate. For example, smart work boots connect with Wi-Fi and share GPS coordinates to help keep track of worker locations. Light sensors on work boots keep workers more aware of potential hazards. These wearables, integrated with project management software, will facilitate efficient running of construction projects by allowing supervisors to view changes in real-time rather than guess results. The data collected from such devices can also be analyzed in project management software to improve workflow of the construction workers. In this edition of Construction Tech Review, we bring you the story of some of the leading project management solution and software providers that are bringing some innovative construction project management concepts to fruition.
