workplaces ; one of NCC ’ s most important focus areas . The project was based on cranes at construction sites – a high-risk area identified by NCC – and involved in addition to Nexer Insight ( at that time Sigma ), Microsoft , ARROW and Edins Byggkranar .
“ In the crane project , part of the project Connected Construction Site , we tested new technology based on monitoring using cameras and advanced software that immediately warns the crane operator of any people on the ground . In the project , Microsoft provided the cloud-based technology platform that formed the link between us at Nexer Insight , NCC and the others involved ”, says Carl Tönseth , Regional Manager , Nexer Insight , niched in IoT and AI .
Digital twin is likely to be a key project management tool as it anticipates such dangers .
“ This can be , for example , real-time sensor data from zones where it can be dangerous to work due to hazardous microparticles in the air . We have also tried to track where the material is , as well as people we may need to get in touch with , and who in the worst case has had an accident and need to be found quickly ”, says Claes Henschel , NCC .
NCC sees the potential to conduct predictions and simulations where the project members can test what happens if they do it in one way or another , ensuring operations are safer , more sustainable , and save time and money . constructionglobal . com 79
