More and more, technology has been developing and helping different market areas, making jobs more optimized, precise, and safe, including in the business market
It is not news that technology is in our lives, our jobs, and our processes. Besides making our personal lives easier and keeping communication easy to access, keeping us updated faster, machines and artificial intelligence have also entered our workspaces, making our work faster, more precise, and safer, regardless of the area you are in.
The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated this process due to social isolation, where each one of us needed to stay at home to keep ourselves healthy and safe. With this, several areas had to work from home, using cloud-based software to update the entire team about a project or process inside the company. Consequently, several companies and workers started to pay more attention to software and technologies in their sector.
It is extremely important to be updated about the latest tech and market information to not only be a better professional but also a creative one, helping the company grow and become more aware of how you can optimize your job and spend time on important tasks. To assist you, here are some construction business technologies to keep an eye on.
Bubble Deck
More and more, construction workers are looking for materials that can make the amount of money invested in a construction project cheaper, without compromising safety. One solution found is the bubble deck.
It consists of plastic spheres that are inserted between steel meshes. This can save not only money but also the amount of concrete used in construction, as 1kg of plastic can replace 100 kilograms of concrete. According to specialists, this technology can reduce the amount of material by half and can be used in residential or industrial building constructions.
Slatestone
Another technology to keep an eye on is slatestone. Usually used on houses, it is a great replacement for actual stones on your house posts. The material is a stone post cover that is cheaper than stones but delivers the same effect. You can even put lights on it, making it easy to see the path when you get home at night or for parties, or even for a romantic night with your lover.
Aist HRP-5P
One of the constant subjects in technology is robotics. The subject has even been included in school programs, teaching kids how to use math and engineering to build robots that can perform small tasks to bigger ones.
But robotics is also present in the market, including the construction area, and this is not news. Aist HRP-5P is the 5th generation of a Japanese robot that can lift heavy objects that humans cannot. Besides that, it can build airplanes, ships, and other structures.
AI in Construction
In the last few months, artificial intelligence has been one of the most talked-about subjects of the moment, especially after the release of ChatGPT. However, AI is constantly present in our lives, on our phones, in our houses through virtual assistants, TVs, cellphones, among other devices.
AI is also present in the construction business, impacting projects all around the world and affecting millions of jobs. One of its functions is to recognize if a material or product is suitable for a system, reducing the amount of rework that could be necessary in such cases. Besides that, systems can also alert to new product features or even if the desired product is available or not, reducing the time spent searching on different websites.
