IoT in the construction sector

IoT in construction and other advanced technologies in this industry ensure that processes can be organized more efficiently and yield higher profit margins. Many construction companies are working on digitization, both for their company and for processes. The application of IoT can be seen in smart buildings and construction sites. For example, camera surveillance can no longer be ignored on construction sites. Comgate has years of experience in IoT for construction and providing 4G/5G internet to construction sites.

IoT SIM cards and M2M SIM cards in construction

IoT SIM cards and M2M SIM cards are widely used for sensors and asset management in construction. Do you know exactly what kind of data SIM cards you need? Put it together yourself via our handy Choose you sim tool. Not sure yet? Take a look at our about pages IoT and M2M SIM cards or contact with one of our experts.

 

Mobile Broadband SIM cards in construction

Mobile Broadband is very suitable for (temporary) internet in the site office, a back-up solution for your fixed internet connection and for camera security on the construction site. Comgate can provide any construction site with fast and stable internet. Check out our propositions or contact with one of our experts.

Rent 4G/5G internet for construction temporarily

Fast and stable internet is essential in construction. Think of the ever-increasing need for data due to BIM, the use of Apps, digital revision/construction drawings, time registration, work orders, camera surveillance, inspections and recordings at the construction site. Comgate is happy to help you fulfill your 4G/5G internet needs for construction with different types of IoT sims and data sims. Need a total solution for temporarily renting internet at your location? Comgate offers the solution with its Temporary internet packages! This package is moved along with the construction site and does not require wired internet to provide the environment with a fast, secure and stable internet connection. You rent the solution per month.

Examples of IoT in construction

Safety on the construction site

Unfortunately, many accidents still happen on the construction site. The Internet of Things offers employees more options to protect themselves. Sensors in workwear, helmets and goggles continuously measure the environment and situations. If a dangerous situation arises, you can be warned in advance. Sensors can also measure hazardous substances (such as particulate matter) or the noise level.

 

Smart building and material management

Builders use prefabricated, ready-made building components to complete construction projects even faster and more efficiently. Nowadays, construction companies put sensors in prefab parts. These sensors measure where the prefabrication is, what is being done with it and what it is intended for. This ensures that the right parts are always in the right place on the construction site. This greatly improves construction efficiency. Material is traceable and the status of a construction project is clear.

Predictive maintenance in construction

IoT will play an increasingly important role in maintenance. Critical machines and / or materials can be equipped with sensors to measure when replacement or maintenance is required. This way, timely action can be taken. The chance of delays, which entails a lot of costs, is thus smaller. Tools fitted with a sensor can be easily traced.

 

IOT makes buildings smart

IoT solutions in smart buildings can follow the movements of visitors by means of sensors. This monitoring of movement provides insights into the way and the extent to which spaces are used. Smart solutions can, for example, combine this data with data about the weather, so that ventilation can be optimized. Because we spend 90% indoors, good air quality is of fundamental importance. Smart sensors can indicate which filters need to be replaced. IoT can also play a role in security. By equipping the building with sensors, movements after closing hours can be analyzed and possibly automatically reported to security.

Building management systems from Priva always online thanks to 4G solution

Priva is a Dutch company that is successful in climate control. The company uses its technological knowledge and expertise to develop green building technology that creates the perfect indoor climate for performing a certain activity and reduces the ecological footprint of buildings. In order to always have Priva's building management systems online, they were looking for a 4G connectivity solution. Comgate provided the solution.
