Technology applied to Risk Prevention

EPP / EPI dispensing machines These machines have been in the market for several years but their use is not yet very common, despite their multiple benefits. For example, in a company that performs night shifts, if a worker needs to replace a PPE, he would have to wait until the day after the person who delivers the equipment comes, which has office hours. In addition, these machines avoid the lost time of the person who delivers and registers said equipment, improves traceability and inventory control. Simulators Just as pilots train in simulators before getting on a real plane, their use for the training of operators of mining and industrial equipment and vehicles such as cranes, excavators, forklifts, etc., can improve their skills, which can reduce human error: the main cause of accidents associated with the use of such equipment. Here are some examples: Example of Virtual Reality in Safety and Health at Work Remote control equipment In sectors such as ...

Innovative industrial projects.

Imagen
Industrial engineering projects focus on the design and development of a series of products of the industrial field in any of its variants. They are usually complex and require permanent supervision of those who are in the middle and high levels of their management. It is common that, if you think of industrial projects, great works come to mind that influence entire regions or countries. However, it is not necessary to look at these scenarios. It is enough to design a machine or a series of artifacts that have application in the industrial plane. In fact, industrial projects are not just about innovation and invention; also, and above all, there are examples of projects that seek to cover needs, sophisticated or basic, through the design of a series of joint and coordinated actions. Innovational projects The realization of fairs and events in charge of presenting some of the most innovative industrial projects is increasingly frequent. However, not all types of proj...

With sensors and mobile applications, construction machinery advances...

Imagen
Digital and telematics digital machine management solutions are clearly on their way to becoming the new standard in the construction industry. The crane manufacturer Manitowoc, based in Milwaukee (USA), showed in bauma how a smartphone application can make daily work easier for its users. The company developed a free application that helps the crane operator interpret the diagnostic codes generated by the on-board control system and displayed in the cabin. Instead of waiting for specialized technical personnel, the crane owner can use the information to begin solving the problem immediately, which improves the operating time. The machines are identified by a QR code and examined using individual checklists on the smartphone. Users and landlords can digitally document damages and defects in images and texts. In addition, a general description of the fleet allows landlords to immediately see which machines are available, rented or in maintenance. Use sensors to differ...

The drones under construction opens a promising horizon

Imagen
Expert opinions suggest that the use of drones will be widespread, at least in the medium term. The main reasons that would justify the use of drones in construction are diverse. First, because of its potential to plan, promote or market new works or projects. For example, using virtual reality techniques and 3D digital models, it is possible to reproduce the integration of a project in the built environment or the views that would be had from a window or viewpoint of a new building. From the strictly constructive point of view, the use of drones will allow better monitoring of the works, both from the point of view of the progress of the works and the inspection of the work units, the logistics of the works or the suitability of Occupational safety and health measures. Finally and no less important are the applications that can be carried out by combining the capabilities of drones with other technologies such as digital manufacturing, BIM (Building Information Models) ...

The construction machinery.

Imagen
Heavy machinery Here are those that have large geometric proportions matching them concerning traditional street vehicles, has considerable volume and weight. They need a trained operator who needs a special card for heavy machinery, given the complexity of the controls and their functionality. Types of heavy machinery In the classification of heavy machinery for construction, from the perspective of the works and their activities, a wide variety of equipment is used and affect a wide range of public works (mainly civil engineering) or private. Earthworks, roads, clearing, dams, dredging, drilling tunnels and trenches, excavations or deep foundations. So the construction equipment used is several as well as its dimensions, but the main ones - if we talk about large equipment - we can divide them: Excavator The backhoe Dredgers Dragline The mototrailla The spit Paver The compactor The motor grader Water tanks Dump trucks Tractors The loader...

Tools used in construction

Imagen
Some many machines and tools are used in an industry that is so important and that moves the economy of any country, such as construction. The purpose of this post is to spread the knowledge of the machines and tools that are involved in these works, which reduces time and achieves a better quality of the services provided. Machines and tools used in construction: Battery drills: They are used to drill holes on surfaces that are not extremely hard and that require less energy and greater precision Poly cutting tools. They are used to cut steel from beams, chassis, columns, blocks and slabs. In the construction industry, poly cutting machines and tools must be operated by specialized and professional personnel. These are equipment that require extreme safety conditions. Hammer Drills They are used to break up excesses of ant. They are generally classified according to weight as follows: 5 KG, 10 Kg, 15 Kg, 30 Kg. Submersible pump They are used to...

Build Innova, a new way to update and do business. Trends in the residential construction of tomorrow The residential development of the next few years involves betting on Construction, according to the Official College of Surveyors and Technical Architects. Through the application of new methods and technologies, transform the construction processes of housing "to make them more safe, effective, efficient and productive." The trends in the field of Spanish residential real estate that will take place as a result of the fusion between innovation, technology, and construction. Commitment to sustainability The first novelty that in the coming years will mark the destiny of the construction sector in Chile is its commitment to sustainability. New Materials Transparent aluminum, graphene and reflective concrete are some of the materials on which the new constructions will be based. These concentrate, from the professionals of the Digital Constructio...
