When professionals are operating forklifts and scaling skyscrapers, it’s essential for equipment to work safely and efficiently. With regular maintenance and proactive repairs, field service can keep workers safe by preventing unplanned outages and keep projects on schedule by preventing downtime.
Mobile technology is vital, and in the coming years data analytics, cloud connectivity and machine learning will be an increasingly powerful driver of change in the construction industry.
Mobility platforms deliver complete logistical overhaul that optimize and streamline the life cycle of equipment and have immediate benefits for construction companies. The result of these platforms can be remarkable increases in first-time fix rates with quality field service systems. Meaning less downtime for machines and fewer unanticipated project costs, which makes both the service customer and the foreman happy.
With the internet of things (IoT) rapidly becoming an integral part of jobsite maintenance, field service is evolving into a completely new era of proactive maintenance, where wear and tear is identified prior to machine failure. With proactive maintenance, field service technicians set their sights on zero unplanned downtime, as opposed to reactive and cosly repairs on dangerous and inconvenient outages in vital machinery.
The availability of more data will make devices smarter, and usher in the opportunity for analytics programs to not only optimize and streamline field service, but also push jobsites capable of time saving and money saving measures towards a zero downtime goal. These insights will have massive effects on the balance sheet of construction companies.
