Amid the wrecking and construction of project goals on a construction site, managing tools and materials can be a major problem, and even a more important one. One of the technology which has been gaining acceptance for this purpose is the RFID tag. These are tiny electronic devices made up of a chip and a passive antenna which are capable of sending out a unique code when activated by a reader. This enables a variety of applications including the use of materials in the construction site and even movement of equipment.

Employing RFID tags allows construction companies to have up to the minute visibility of their stock. This is achieved by tagging construction materials, parts or components with RFID tags, with steel beams and concrete blocks as examples. This helps with tracking of materials through the supply chain to ensure materials are present when required so as to minimize the risk of theft or loss of materials. When it comes to heavy machinery and tools, RFID tags can be placed on them to monitor their usage, maintenance and adherence to safety standards. The collected data from the RFID tag readers can be embedded into the project management systems, which can help the end users to improve processes and resource management strategy.

RFID tagging in the construction industry has become substantially reliable and precise, helping operations tremendously. For example, during the development of massive infrastructures, implementing an RFID system makes it easier to deliver and store materials required for a smooth workflow. When maintenance is needed, an RFID tagging system is not solely used to locate the needed equipment, but also focuses on how much wear and tear has taken place on that equipment to minimize the need for sudden cease of operations due to unexpected breakdowns. Additionally, Construction firms can implement RFID solutions to optimize workflow and minimize site inactivity.

One of the prominent IoT Solution Providers, GIOT has come up with an integrated solution enabling its clients to deploy RFID solutions within the construction sector. Our durable RFID tags withstand varying environmental conditions while continuing to perform, making our line of products one of the key components in the construction business. Changing existing systems for GIOT’s RFID tags is not an issue since they are fitted with multiple readers and software. Not only that, but GIOT has also provided progressive systems to allow them to be used in earlier constructions all the way to larger ones.

At GIOT, we have a clear focus on innovation and satisfying the needs of the customer while exploring the applications of RFID technology within the construction sector, and on how far we can reach with it. Our know-how in designing reliable, effective, and easy to operate RFID systems turns out to be a competitive advantage for construction companies that wish to improve material as well as equipment control and allocation processes. Engaging with GIOT allows the companies to take advantage of the creative technologies that improve the performance and profits in the competitive market of today's construction.
