How Leveraging Hyper-Automation Benefits the Construction Industry?

FREMONT, CA: In the construction industry, hyper-automation can mean the ability to leverage advanced technology such as  AI and IoT to empower organizations to transform how their business gets done. Not the physical robots like many might believe, but an intelligent and automated approach to routine tasks that enable humans to focus on the essential aspects of getting business done.

Better defined, hyper-automation is the deploying of advanced technology with many tools centered on RPA, IoT, IBMS, and components of AI with ML, Neural Networks (NN), and Deep Learning (DL).

Industrial job sites have several workers reporting to the job and leaving throughout the day. The safety, health, and security of the workers and job-site under control through safety directors on the job, spot safety checks, and signs are demanding adherence to safety regulations. These controls also serve to decrease costly insurance premiums inherent with hazardous work. However, the staff needed to get close to a hundred percent on safety regulations for minimized accidents or violations is almost impossible and cost-prohibitive.

Construction automation concentrated on safety makes a significant difference in uncovering safety violations before they become accidents or liabilities. Camera systems monitoring where equipment, workers, and visitors travel empower, previously used for security and reviewing or monitoring of footage, can be improved with AI-powered software.

A similar approach to safety can be applied to adherence to project goals, timelines, percentage of completion, and adherence to architectural plans. Cameras can provide inputs to highly intelligent AI-powered software that has the specifications for the land, building, or most any facet of the project.

AI-powered voice assistants for every manager on the job are another bright point to see while adopting this particular platform. Managers can speak to this intelligent assistant that intuitively gathers data of the job site allowing for hands-free task management. Every notation that requires a written note, email, or retrieval of plans to review can all occur via simple voice commands.
