Construction sites across the world are progressively using tablet innovation to complete their day-by-day assignments and tasks by means of development programming, enabling teams to be increasingly productive and collaborative on every project. With the integration of software and accessories such as the 3D RealSense camera, construction teams can improve the timeliness and functions of project responsibilities.
3D RealSense Camera
Handheld tablets that fit standard consumer specifications do not fit the needs of a construction site. Construction projects and worksites require technology that is built with durability, mobility, and strength. Purpose-built tablets are designed to withstand extreme temperatures for projects that are being completed both in extremely hot or cold temperatures.
DT Researchs rugged tablets hold up in extreme conditions and with the integration of the 3D RealSense camera, it is a perfect solution for the construction industry. DT Researchs rugged tablets combine the ease-of-use of a phone (taking pictures on the construction site), a personal computer (to write out comments and notes) and a webcam, that could also be mounted to a construction site to take images around the site and send status updates in real-time. Rugged tablets are built to withstand tough environments full of dust, vibration, and drops, making it the best option to use on a worksite.
3D RealSense Camera
The 3D RealSense Camera is the perfect accessory for rugged tablets on a construction site. The camera takes pictures of the project in 3D, capturing all of the important aspects of the project in real-time. The rugged tablet with the 3D RealSense camera records the data and plugs it directly into a report on the table, leaving little room for human error and reduced processing time. The use of this camera in conjunction with a rugged tablet for construction projects enhances the accuracy and measurements for surveying needs, project inspections and hard to reach areas at the worksite. Thus, improving the mobility of workers on the job site and workflow, to allow projects to be finished faster with access to information in real-time instead of a project manager needing to interpret, log and provide a report of the data collected. Teams can also communicate in real-time across the network on the tablets, to enhance communication and decision making across multiple departments.
Billing and Invoicing
Because the efficiency of construction projects are improved with the use of the 3D RealSense camera on a rugged tablet, invoicing and billing for the project becomes easier too. Being able to update information about the project directly to the office in real-time, means accounts receivables and billing can invoice for the various parts of the project as they are completed instead of waiting on inspections and project management teams to report updates. This ability shortens the time of the collection cycle, helping to also improve the speediness of the completion of the project.
The tide of technological advancement in the construction industry is growing stronger. Rugged tablets for construction are the new wave of technology that will spread far and wide. Its impact on construction projects significantly positively affects construction companies and projects in both large and small companies.
