Construction Equipment Management Solution

As most of the processes in the construction industry heavily rely on equipment and machinery, it becomes a nuisance when the equipment or machinery breakdowns as it will disrupt the whole construction cycle and the scheduled work-flow of the entire crew. The dysfunction of even single equipment can make a project standstill while the downtime costs like the fixed or overhead costs, hire equipment fee, etc have to be borne by the Contractor. Thus it becomes imperative for project managers to maintain them in their best shape and condition. 

Troubleshooting Equipment Breakdown

Troubleshooting is the process of identifying what, and where the problem is, rectifying it, recording it, and also making sure the problem does not repeat itself in at least the near future.  This all sounds like candy and jelly, but where does the technological solution to this problem fit in? Can digitization be the solution? Let’s find out. It’s a straight fact that equipment/machinery is a great driver of productivity gains.
