IoT in Construction — Construction Technology’s Next Frontier

IoT in construction comprises the use of internet-connected sensors that are used by laborers or placed around job sites. IoT in construction helps to collect various types of data about activity, conditions and performances on the construction site and send these details to a central dashboard where data is analyzed to help inform decisions. Traditionally, maximum internet-connected devices have been mobile phones and computers. So, a variety of sensors can now cheaply and easily be upgraded with a chip (like Sim card), hence the term IoT.

IoT in construction-based solutions can support the construction process in many ways. IoT can develop construction implementation planning, by updating the construction tasks, and sequences management while keeping all stakeholders continuously informed. Furthermore, IoT can also escalate the productivity within construction implementation itself. The adoption of IoT in the construction market is expected to increase among end-user to mitigate the risk and reduce the number of accidents in construction sites and eliminate the cost of construction.

IoT in the construction industry is improving safe working practices for construction sites workers. The wearable IoT devices have the potential for upgrading safety on building sites. If all teams on a job site wear clip-on devices or wrist bands, data about their activity and moment can be used to determine any risk behavior.
