Smartwatches for the construction industry are a joint development of the IT integrator Gaskar Group and Wokka Lokka, the manufacturer of GPS watches. The solution became part of another product of the Gaskar Group - the Exon project management platform, which includes modules for photo and video analytics, monitoring construction sites from drones, storage and exchange of documentation and other digital services.
"The use of such monitoring tools is most relevant at large-scale facilities where the cost of an error is high. Smartwatches will allow us to control the work of our construction personnel online, promptly reallocate workers if necessary, and generally optimize resources at all facilities of the International Medical Cluster, "comments Timur Andrbaev, Construction Director of the International Medical Cluster Foundation.
"In the construction industry, labor accounts for 25-30% of all production costs. At the same time, the developer spends only 70% of staff costs effectively. The remaining 30 is essentially "eaten up" by truancy, irresponsibility, hiring workers in excess of the plan, delayed construction. The smartwatch analyzes the time spent at the facility and provides accurate statistics at any time during the project. So the management has a tool that will show in real-time not only how many people are currently operating on a specific task and whether this number is enough, but will also give an alarm if an employee is suddenly injured or finds himself in a high-risk zone," said Igor Afanasyev.
