Technologies like AI, IoT, and VR have already shown their value in multiple sectors. Construction companies that do not utilize technologies like VR and AI to support their customers or staff often do not survive in this competitive world.
Most companies have struggled as they have not incorporated these digital methods that are already implemented by their rivals. In this article, we will see the six ways how technologies like VR and AI can save a construction company from investing millions of dollars out of their pocket.
1. Smart Traffic Cones for Road Construction
Traffic cones are designed for large, complex workplaces with multiple parameters of security, access points, and construction crews. When a cone is struck to alert workers to a safe location, alarms will sound, thanks to Virtual Reality(VR), in this case.
Traffic Cones consists of the Portable Crew Alarm system for audio-visual, and remote detectors are also equipped into the cone lamps. A master monitoring system is positioned at correct locations, and the device offers visual and audio alerts to nearby employees if a cone alarm is activated.
This VR system not only offers an easy way to install an electronic security fence but also tracks the time-and-place status and submits it to the respective web portal. It is a customer portal that allows an employee to monitor safe areas of work.
It ensures how near to mistakes can be further examined. This also ensures, if a team is on location (if the system is switched on), the site manager and the back office can be alerted immediately.
2. Maintenance of aircraft construction by AI
Maintenance of aircraft is a challenging task, which can cost the airlines a lot if implemented incorrectly. A lot of planning and preparing is required in this case. The servicing of an unplanned aircraft may contribute to disruptions in flight or even result in cancellation. Economists predict that AI could save thousands of dollars if adequately implemented.
Predictive maintenance based on AI is gradually becoming a phenomenon in the global construction market for aircraft. It helps technicians to predict blunders early. This digital plan is focused on AI, helps to reduce the number of flight cancelations.
3. Reducing the cost of air tickets by implementing VR
Costs of air tickets are based on several criteria such as flight distances, price of oil, date of transaction, market conditions, aircraft brand recognition, and much more. Many factors shift every day, like oil prices, resulting in a constant price increase.
This problem is overcome eventually by the VR algorithm. It helps airlines estimate the most effective prices for each flight, thus keeping them beneficial and giving their consumers reasonable prices.
4. AI in the 3-D construction Industry
While modularisation and 3-D printing are progressing in construction today, the advantages of those methods could be maximized by artificial intelligence in the long term.
For E&C, this technology could one day be applicable for prefabrication techniques and repair activities for oil and gas as well as for other industries. The scientists of the robotics industry have managed to train robotic arms to travel through simulations, which usually saves millions of dollars.
5. AI and VR together in the construction companies
VR and AI approaches produce advances in the analysis of photos in the construction industry to support perfect results.
On the whole, this technology could be used to evaluate issues relating to quality control, for example, defects in implementation (structural and esthetic) and early detection of significant events (e.g., bridge failure), in drone imaging, and 3-D modeling.
Such approaches may help engineers equate inventions and final products with original concepts. The algorithm of AI and VR together recognizes the threat of security based on millions of pictures taken from drones at construction sites.
6. Streamline Collaboration
VR allows teams to work together in a shared context in realtime, where information and problems can be found instantly, questions can be asked, and decisions can be made immediately on improvements.
Through encouraging input, it increases timelines. It also improves reprocessing by increasing accuracy and interaction information.
Final Verdict
The above-mentioned steps can serve as an urgent base for construction companies. Early initiatives are going to shape the construction sector and benefit in both the short and long term.
