![]() ![]() In addition, equipment can be tracked using Spot-r EquipTag sensors. The sensors monitor when and where workers are on site during any given time, allowing closer control over the manpower and productivity while reporting cumulative man hours. We are excited about exploring the numerous possibilities to reduce manual inputs through this technology.” Jason Pelkey, senior vice president – chief information officer, says, “In addition to the safety and insurance benefits that Spot-r provides, we are also looking at ways to further enhance the value to jobsites by integrating it with our project controls system, ™, to automate the daily work hour reporting and other time and attendance recording. Safety is the driving force behind expanding Gilbane’s use of this technology which integrates well with construction project control systems. The safety benefits it offers are critical,” says Don Naber, senior vice president – director of risk management for Gilbane Building Company. Also, because Spot-r lets us track worker headcounts and locations in real-time, we can be sure everyone is accounted for. We are excited about the Spot-r EvacTag because it significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to evacuate workers. “When it comes to site evacuation, every second counts. This device gets the message out to everyone on site at the same time regardless of their location. If needed, alarms can be triggered to streamline evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency through another Triax Technologies device installed around the jobsite called the Spot-r EvacTag. Workers also have the ability to push a button on the device to report an issue or hazard to their supervisor over a direct channel. ![]() The Spot-r Clip connects to a project-specific network that automates worker headcount procedures and provides the real-time locations of each worker on site. Gilbane has adopted the Spot-r network and suite of wearable and sensor devices, developed by Triax Technologies, a Connecticut-based construction technology company, to gain real-time, digital visibility into its workforce, equipment and site safety. ![]() The time it takes to respond to an incident is greatly reduced and allows for quick action in an emergency situation. Gilbane Building Company is raising the bar for the construction industry when it comes to safety with its latest implementation of wearable devices that detect slips, trips, and falls on the job, triggering an automatic alert to designated site personnel including medics. ![]()
