Digital transformation: the advantages for site monitoring

Currently, site monitoring is still mainly carried out manually. However, more and more companies are opting for a digitalization of site monitoring. Digital technology offers many advantages that we will summarize for you in this article.

Data centralization
When processed manually, the various data collected during the monitoring of a site must then be grouped and cross-checked.

Thanks to digital technology and the development of suitable software, all this data is instantly centralized. This process considerably reduces the margin of error and greatly facilitates site monitoring.

The various quality control forms are thus grouped together directly within the site monitoring application and the data is automatically prioritized.

In addition to reducing the margin of error, digitization can save a lot of time in the classification, consultation and analysis of data.
Everything becomes more readable with, for example, the use of color codes, graphics and the possibility of filtering the data to display only those that interest us.

Real-time site monitoring
The operator can connect to his site monitoring application at any time in order to check the progress of the site in real time. The site dashboard is accessible from a smartphone, tablet or PC.

As a result, site management is significantly simplified and the operator can make the necessary decisions as they go by considerably limiting non-conformities and other construction defects.

In addition, it is possible to distribute specific access rights for each person working on the site.
Thus, everyone can access the data that is useful to them quickly and without having to filter the data. This system also guarantees confidentiality of certain data.



Save time and money
As in all areas in which it is used, the contribution of digital technology saves considerable time.

This time saving can be seen at different levels:

Data entry: the software is specially designed so that the user can quickly enter data in the right place
Grouping of data: automatic
Data analysis: filters, graphics, colors ...
Data sharing
The digitization of site monitoring also guarantees savings. Indeed, if the installation of the device has a cost, it quickly pays for itself. First, saving time and generally saving money.

Then, the supplies needed for data collection are eliminated, since a simple smartphone is enough.

But the savings come mainly from the management of construction defects. Thanks to real-time verification, digital technology enables these faults to be detected immediately.

Taken on time, these site non-conformities are corrected with a low impact on the budget. Likewise, the risks of legal action are also considerably reduced.
Construction companies can no longer ignore the value of digital technology. Change is therefore imperative, and those who fall behind in this area risk losing many projects to the competition.
