Construction
Every minute and every asset on a construction site is vital to meeting deadlines and, ultimately, to your profitability. If time and assets are not properly managed, it can cost organizations money and credibility with their clients. Having the ability to track the precise location and status of your tools, supplies and employees from the moment they arrive on site can make a huge difference. With real-time tracking utilizing RFID technology, much of this every day stress can be significantly reduced, leading to significant cost savings.
RFID tags that can withstand weather extremes and harsh industrial environments are mounted to assets, identifying each item uniquely. RFID gives you the ability to track mobile assets in real-time, utilizing low-cost Wi-Fi, cellular, or satellite signals. Criteria you define, such as location, status, and environmental data, are monitored via a simple web interface. Information is thus available when you need it, whether on-site or at a remote office.
Construction sites around the world are beginning to realize the tremendous benefits of asset tracking systems utilizing RFID technologies. Here are just some of the benefits already being enjoyed today:
Inventory Tracking: Real-time knowledge of all equipment on site and the instant ability to track additional supplies as they arrive.
Theft Deterrence: Protection of tools, equipment, and supplies from theft, loss, or hoarding. An alert or other notification can be triggered when unauthorized movement occurs.
(*According to the National Equipment Register Inc., job-site equipment theft cost the construction industry between $300 million and $1 billion each year, with 71,873 reports of theft in the United States and less than 10% of the stolen equipment recovered.)
Asset Maintenance: Keep an accurate record of when each asset needs to be maintained, serviced, or replaced, thus reducing downtime and costly equipment failures.
Employee Tracking: ID badges in construction sites for 'zonal' location, to make sure workers are in the area they are supposed to be.
Safety: Ensure workers have the right accreditations to use the tools and equipment they check out.
Managing Schedules and Timelines: Knowledge of all of your assets will ultimately lead to better project management and the ability to manage client's expectations.
