Having a good management of the construction site is an essential part during the processes of civil construction.

The location where the work is carried out is, undoubtedly, one of the most important and requires constant monitoring. When your planning is neglected, the entire construction model is compromised.

The impact is clear: waste of materials, misuse of equipment, delays in detecting errors that lead to rework, work accidents, loss of productivity, among others.

Companies try to mitigate waste by allocating more financial and human resources that, in the end, will reduce the net margins of the business and will not solve the problem, both for the company and for the client.

To avoid these issues, it is essential to invest in the planning of the site, making management more efficient, reducing errors, and increasing productivity. But how is this possible?

This is where cameras on construction sites come in. Want to understand better how this solution impacts management and safety in the construction industry?

How to optimize the management of the construction site?

The biggest challenge, first of all, is to make a plan aiming to carry out the tasks in the best possible way, using resources (materials and human) consciously, ensuring that no time or money is wasted with process flaws.

Therefore, the management of the construction site should not be focused only on the inflow and outflow of materials. It is important to control the flow of people and information efficiently, to guarantee greater organization and productivity.

Technology emerges as an ally in this process because its constant evolution allows sectors such as Civil Construction to have tools to ensure the efficiency of the project in practice. Among them are the use of platforms for remote management and smart cloud cameras.

How to make your work more efficient with Construct IN and Monuv

The technologies of Construct IN and Monuv make the work of the construction site much more efficient and productive.

They are powerful tools for a more assertive field management, ensuring the cost-benefit of a project.

Moreover, they have the power to provide information for engineering, planning, marketing, and supply chain, changing the reality of everyone involved in a construction project.

And they can be used on any type of device.

Visi by Construct IN: Document and manage works in 360°

The Visi by Construct IN is a unique tool in the market, because it allows you to monitor a work at any time and place, through a mobile phone, tablet, and computer. The platform uses 360º technology to document and remotely manage civil construction projects.

Thus, all professionals involved in a construction project, when authorized by the project managers, can visit virtually the construction site to make consultations and inspections, optimizing communication between the team and reducing costs with travel and rework.

Monuv: Smarter cloud cameras

Monuv is the first platform in Brazil to offer smart cloud camera services. The use of cloud storage technology and other intelligences allows monitoring the progress of the work in real time, enabling simultaneous access to recorded and live images, controlling the flow of people, resolving conflicts, among others.

With this, you do not worry about the theft of the cameras, because the images are saved in the cloud. Thus, it is possible to resolve occurrences simply and quickly.

Among the advantages of having smart cloud cameras, is the use of Time-lapse technology, which optimizes the time of engineers, allowing the checking of days, weeks, and even months in a few seconds.

Check below how the innovative technologies of Construct IN and MONUV work:

360° Technology: Visi by Construct IN

In addition to being more practical and efficient compared to traditional equipment, 360° cameras can capture an overview of the construction environments, with more quality and precision of information.

By registering all points and directions at the same time, it is possible to have an overall view of the construction site, quite similar to human vision. All these images are available in the Visi by Construct IN system.

The annotations can be inserted directly into the 360° image and shared with those involved or responsible for a specific activity. This functionality optimizes communication and the flow of information during the project execution.

The process of capturing the images is also very simple. Just open the Construct IN Capture application, connect the 360º camera to the smartphone, and walk through the site to make the records of the selected points on the plan.

At the end of the route, the images are automatically sent to the platform, where they are organized chronologically. The 360° photos of the work can be accessed at any time, via browser or application, without relying on disorganized folders or files sent via WhatsApp.

The capture technology, therefore, when thought out and integrated with other systems and functionalities, provides a new way to monitor works from a distance, much more immersive and transparent.

See the main functionalities of the platform in the video below.

Time-Lapse Monuv

Imagine the possibility of being able to check months of construction site progress in a few seconds and also being able to use it to show future residents the project's development?

This is the importance of Time-lapse technology for a civil construction project.

The Time-lapse technology works as follows: the camera captures photos of an area at a predetermined frequency. When these photos are organized chronologically, a sensation of an accelerated video is created, showing the changes of the work during that period.

Moreover, the images provided by the time-lapse in the cloud serve various areas of the company. You can promote the alignment of each stage of the project and even publish the sequence of photos on social media to show the project's evolution.

At Monuv, the use of Time-lapse is unlimited. You can generate as many videos as you want, choose the start and end date, as well as the speed of the video. It is also possible to define time slots, for those who do not want photos taken during inactive times or with low lighting.

To use the Time-lapse service, you need to have a camera connected to Monuv with an active storage plan. The best part is that the Time-lapse works on any camera or DVR.

The benefits of remote management and cloud monitoring for Civil Construction

Having these two technologies allied to the day-to-day operations of your construction site generates direct benefits to your management. Here are some of them:

• More transparency of the construction site

• Better management and control of field activities

• Increased safety for managers and professionals in Civil Construction

• Reduction of construction site costs

• Facilitated and unlimited access to images of the work through cloud monitoring and documentation

• Results enhanced by increased productivity and reduced errors

Conclusion

Developing a more efficient construction project, with surprising results for your company, is possible with the use of cameras combined with innovative technologies like Visi by Construct IN and Monuv.

Without the use of these intelligences, valuable resources may be wasted just to prevent more money from being lost by your company.

The remote management of Construct IN and the cloud monitoring of Monuv are the ideal duo to avoid issues and increase productivity, ensuring that revenues are not used to mitigate errors that could be fixed with good planning.

Thus, your company and your client benefit from a safer, more effective, and profitable project.
