Mobile, cloud-based services are entering the construction site. Here are four recent examples of the trend.<\/p>\n Gilbane Inc<\/a>., a real estate development and construction firm, is piloting an RFID-based \u201cremote attendance\u201d\u00a0solution for managing construction subcontracted workers at a building site spanning 1 million square feet.The system not only helps the site\u2019s owner identify each worker, but also creates an electronic record of how many hours that individual has worked onsite. It also tracks whether that person represents a small business or lives locally.<\/p>\n The system, provided by mobile solutions company Serialio<\/a>, consists of ID badges containing a built-in passive high-frequency RFID tag and a small RFID reader, linked via a Bluetooth connection to a tablet PC running cloud-based software used to track who enters and leaves the site, as well as when this occurs.<\/p>\n Source: RFID Journal, Jan 19, 2915<\/a><\/p>\n The Jobsite Unite mobile app streamlines jobsite communication among superintendents, foremen, project managers and workers. It\u00a0facilitates transparent access to all vital jobsite information for both those working on the jobsite and those in the back office.<\/p>\n Users can sign up and create a free account or purchase individual Jobsite Groups and grant access to specific members of a project team.<\/p>\n Source: ForConstructionPros.com, Jan 20, 2015<\/a><\/p>\n B2W Software\u00a0announced its comprehensive cloud solution \u2013\u00a0B2W Cloud.
