Intelliwave SiteSense boosts APTIM material tracking and predictive analysis
Barry Peyton , Business Development and Strategic Partnership Manager at Intelliwave Technologies , outlines how it provides data and visibility benefits for APTIM
We ’ ve been engaged with the APTIM team since early 2019 providing SiteSense , our mobile construction SaaS solution , for their maintenance and construction projects , allowing them to track materials and equipment , and manage inventory .
We have been working with the APTIM team to standardize material tracking processes and procedures , ultimately with the goal of reducing the amount of time spent looking for materials . Industry studies show that better management of materials can lead to a 16 % increase in craft labour productivity .
With APTIM , we ’ re looking at early risk detection , through predictive analysis and forecasting of material constraints , integrating with the ecosystem of software platforms and reporting on real-time data with a ‘ field-first ’ focus – through initiatives like the Digital Foreman . The APTIM team has seen great wins in the field , utilising bar-code technology , to check in thousands of material items quickly compared to manual methods .
There are three key areas when it comes to successful Materials Management in the software sector – culture , technology , and vendor engagement .
Solving problems comes down to better visibility , and proactively solving issues with vendors and enabling construction teams to execute their work .
As things start to stabilise , APTIM continues to utilize SiteSense to boost efficiencies and solve productivity issues proactively . Integrating with 3D / 4D modelling is just the precipice of what we can do . Access to data can help you firm up bids to win work , to make better cost estimates , and AI and ML are the next phase , providing an eco-system of tools .
A key focus for Intelliwave and APTIM is to increase the availability of data , whether it ’ s creating a data warehouse for visualisations or increasing integrations to provide additional value . We want to move to a more of an enterprise usage phase – up to now it ’ s been project based – so more people can access data in real time .
