Connected Worker Tech in Construction: Opportunity and Obstacles with Wearable IoT for Safety and Productivity gains

Connected jobsites are the future, but how we’ll get there is still being hotly debated across the industry. Connected worker solutions are proving to be a pillar of digital transformation efforts for their ability capture real-time, dynamic site, equipment and worker data for productivity, efficiency and safety. But deployments are not without challenges – from worker acceptance to connectivity. In this session, with Daniel Stone, Head of Innovation for Barton Malow and Brian Eagan, Director of Sales at Guardhat will discuss a recent pilot of the Guardhat connected worker solution at the under-construction Wayne County Criminal Justice Center in Detroit, MI. They will detail project success and pitfalls, as well as the impact expanded use of wearable IIoT can bring to construction sites of tomorrow.
