Construction

Construction is one of the most highly competitive industries, so it’s essential that your operations and logistics are streamlined to give you a competitive differentiator. Saving time and money and being able to pass cost savings onto the customer will give you the advantage and put you at the forefront of the industry.

Get Ahead of the Competition with Orion

Digitalisation and automation are the keys to successfully revolutionising your back-end administration, asset management, workflow and innovation capabilities. As construction technology and equipment become more complex and expensive the pressure is on to get the most from your valuable assets and extent their lifecycle to maximise your investment and get a better return.

Those businesses that balance a risk averse approach to operations with innovation in design and build will stand out from the rest.

An excellent starting point for digitalisation is a fully automated end to end and key personnel monitoring, tracking and recovery solution like Smarter Technologies Group’s Orion Data Network.

A Greener Future for Your Construction Business

There is increasing pressure for the construction industry to alleviate the huge amount of noxious emissions it produces annually. Smarter Technologies Group’s Orion Data Network solutions reduce waste and maximise resources so you can rest assured that your business is going to be more environmentally friendly with Orion.

Unsurpassed Visibility of Construction Site Assets

Orion deploys a tag and gateway system whereby you can individually tag members of your team, valuable construction machinery and equipment and other assets. The system gives you unsurpassed visibility into your supply chain and site operations so you can determine when your maintenance should be carried out, when you need to repurchase equipment and which assets can be shared between sites.

You can also set pre-defined geofence locations to alert you instantly if any of your expensive assets are removed from a particular location by accident or by criminal activity.

Taking control of your assets in this way helps you to recover lost time and expenses which can be redeployed in revenue-building activities.

Minimising Construction Project Risk with Orion

One of the biggest and ever-changing variables in construction is the risk associated with each project. You can programme Orion to send you different data depending on the desired project outcomes so that you can plan each project better and alleviate a large proportion of the risk. The more organised you are, the more likely your construction project will be delivered to your client on time.

Better client experience equates to an excellent corporate reputation which again outs you ahead of other businesses in your field.

This also enables more informed and effective assessment and management for other similar projects in the future and so improved your business and capabilities in the long-term.

How Does Orion work in the Construction Industry?

icn-coverage

A long-range, low-power system of Gateways and GPS and non-GPS tags, Orion is simple and fast to install. AS non-GSM solution that doesn’t require SIM cards or incur any ongoing expenses as so many traditional tracking solutions do, it’s a much less expensive solution than others in the market place.

icn-signal

The Orion technology provides a perfect signal even in areas that are normally not covered by regular GSM & GPS so you get better coverage than you do with other providers.

icn-anti-hacker

Orion cannot be jammed by hackers in the same way as most other asset tracking and security systems, so your data and physical assets are more safe and secure over the Orion Network than they are with these tradtional solutions. We can design our solutions to integrate with your own back end administration systems whether they are legacy or if you have already invested in something more modern.
