Technology generally helps improve a business but these technological trends can help improve construction job site safety in Bay Area.
Innovative ideas using available technology has been used in an effort to make a remarkable difference in industry safety. When it comes to technology, there is no shortage of gadgets in the field of construction because there are a number of devices that can make construction safer for workers. While not as important as worker safety, the money you can save on these gadgets is actually quite remarkable and lowers the barrier for adopting these great technologies into the worksite. Here are a few of the modern technologies that can help improve job site safety in Bay Area.
- Virtual Reality
Virtual reality (VR) renders a space in 3D and allows the user to experience a real-time walkthrough. These renderings can range from exploring the surface of Venus to exploring a hallway in your commercial construction project which ties together the construction processes and safety protocols. This can help save time because instead of taking the elevator up 60 stories, you can simply put on your goggles and be immersed into the desired location. - Drones
This technology can help mitigate the job site risk by allowing workers to inspect otherwise dangerous locations of the job site. They are also cheaper to fly rather than sending in manned aircrafts and are quicker than human surveyors. - Real Time Location Systems
Real time locations systems (RTLS) are being deployed through many construction job sites in order to connect the physical and digital world through ways that make everything much safer and easier. Your device sends a ping to the main computer which can help detect the real-time location of any worker to ensure they are safe.
