IoT for Construction
Internet of Things sensors and devices used in construction and building operations.
Definition
IoT (Internet of Things) for Construction encompasses the sensors, devices, and connectivity that enable real-time monitoring of construction sites and completed buildings. This includes environmental sensors, equipment trackers, wearable safety devices, and building management systems. AI analyzes the data streams from IoT devices to provide insights, automate controls, and predict issues before they impact operations.
In Depth
Internet of Things (IoT) devices on construction sites generate continuous data streams from environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, dust), equipment monitors (fuel level, operating hours, location), structural sensors (strain, displacement, vibration), and safety devices (proximity alerts, air quality monitors). AI transforms these data streams from raw readings into actionable intelligence.
Environmental monitoring uses IoT sensors to track concrete curing conditions, dust levels near sensitive receptors, noise levels at property boundaries, and weather conditions that affect work activities. AI processes this sensor data continuously, alerting the project team when conditions exceed permit limits or when weather conditions are changing in ways that affect planned activities.
Examples
