The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of connected sensors, devices, and systems that collect and share data. In construction, IoT enables real-time monitoring of equipment, environmental conditions, and structural health, thereby improving safety, efficiency, and informed decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
A collaborative process where experts from multiple disciplines analyze data together to reach a shared understanding. This approach ensures complex information is viewed from different perspectives, improving the accuracy of conclusions.
A measurable value used to track progress toward specific objectives. These metrics provide insight into efficiency, quality, safety, or cost performance over time. By setting clear benchmarks, teams can monitor success, identify areas for improvement, and maintain accountability.
A continuous flow of real-time information from sensors, instruments, or systems to a central platform. It provides instant visibility into conditions and performance, enabling teams to act quickly in the event of issues. Live streaming ensures decision-makers are equipped with the latest data.
A lightweight messaging protocol designed for quick and efficient communication between devices in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency networks, it enables reliable data transfer from sensors and instruments to central systems.
Automated alerts that inform users about significant events, data changes, or threshold breaches. Delivered via email, SMS, or in-platform messages, they ensure critical information reaches the right people instantly. It enables teams to take timely actions, mitigate risks, and provide project performance and safety.
A project management approach where designs and construction plans are adjusted based on ongoing monitoring and measured performance. It relies on real-time data to guide decision-making, reducing uncertainty and optimizing resources. This method is widely used in geotechnical and underground works.
A visual layer added to digital maps, models, or plans to provide additional information without altering the original data. It can display monitoring results, construction progress, or design changes, helping users quickly compare different datasets. Overlays help simplify the understanding of complex information by providing it within a relevant context.
