The Hub is working to bring manufacturing expertise to construction.
Using triangulated sensor data, the site manager was able to definitively establish that his site was not responsible for the noise, and was further able to offer insight into the actual cause.Moreover, he was also quickly and easily able to provide a report of the problem..
In this particular instance, we see technology reducing stress for a busy site manager, who didn’t have to waste time investigating the issue further.Here, construction technology enabled people to quickly and easily return to work.In another example, onsite sensor cameras were able to detect overnight theft and the captured images were successfully used by the police.
Using IoT in this way also creates a differentiating, reputational advantage for contractors, as these companies are seen to be running very tight, lean, safe and productive operations.This could ultimately enable such contractors to win more business, forcing other players to adopt these types of beneficial practices in order to keep up..
Improving the future of construction.
Speculating about where industry progress may lead us across the next decade, Lamont predicts that the industry will gradually come to the realisation that the technology platform itself is not the solution to construction’s problems.Lab design layout: identifying the flows.
As with any project, many stakeholders see a lab design layout as the primary early deliverable to determine that progress is being made on the project.It’s important to make it clear to the client team as well as the laboratory design team that the information needed to form the lab design layout is the priority.. Once we have determined the functional spaces within the lab, for example materials, people, and waste, we can arrange them into flow diagrams to create adjacencies between the different spaces of the lab, allowing us to create a rudimentary layout.
The aim is to reduce movement between the spaces to make the laboratory design layout more efficient.. We can then classify the client equipment to fit into each of these functional spaces and undertake the same exercise at a smaller scale to determine the adjacencies between the laboratory equipment..Laying out the client laboratory equipment into a space is the last element of producing a laboratory design layout, once these flows have been established.
