Smart Technology Revolutionizes Construction and Earthmoving Industries
[City, Date] – Bart Vingerhoets, Senior Commercial Manager at Komatsu Smart Construction, underscores the vital role that smart technology and artificial intelligence (AI) play in reshaping construction and earthmoving site management. These innovations are not only enhancing project execution but also addressing key challenges within these industries.
Smart technology, including drones, wearables, and advanced sensors, is altering the landscape of construction projects. These tools provide teams with enhanced control and visibility on-site, enabling efficient monitoring of conditions. For example, sensors can flag safety issues and track material usage, allowing managers to adopt a proactive approach rather than a reactive one—leading to fewer errors and improved project quality.
One key innovation is Komatsu’s Smart Construction Dashboard, which presents a digital twin of the job site. This platform delivers real-time data on materials and site conditions, minimizing risks of over-digging and incorrect material movements, thus streamlining project timelines.
Additionally, AI is slowly making its mark in the industry, associated primarily with autonomous equipment capable of learning and automating processes. A notable application is Komatsu’s Smart Construction’s Edge product, which simplifies drone surveying by utilizing a custom-built AI algorithm. This tool efficiently processes drone footage, removing obstacles from the 3D representation of the site, thereby enhancing progress tracking and problem identification.
As of 2023, the global AI market in construction is valued at £1.3 billion and is projected to soar to £9.1 billion by 2030. With the ongoing digital transformation, Komatsu has announced the inclusion of its Remote solution as a standard feature for all Komatsu-branded guidance systems, enhancing interoperability and ease of adoption.
