Job Site Automation: What Are the Latest Tools Helping to Streamline Operations?

[Ernie]

Hey folks,

I’ve been hearing more about automation picking up steam on job sites lately. What tools or tech are you seeing that actually help streamline daily operations, like scheduling, material handling, or equipment tracking? Curious what’s actually working out there versus just sounding cool in a sales pitch.

Yeah, we’ve started using GPS-enabled equipment trackers and automated inventory systems its huge time savers. Also been messing with drone mapping for site progress updates, and it’s been surprisingly accurate and fast. Definitely more than just hype if you pick the right tools!

No fluff, robotic total stations are killing it for layout work, drastically cutting setup time. Drones + photogrammetry = fast, accurate site surveys. RFID tagging and GPS tracking are streamlining tool and equipment management. Plus, AI-driven scheduling tools (like ALICE) are helping spot delays before they happen. It’s not just hype anymore it's stuff that’s actually saving time and money.

Absolutely! Automation’s making a real impact now. We’re seeing serious gains using robotic total stations, GPS fleet tracking, and drone photogrammetry for site surveys. AI tools like ALICE and OpenSpace are actually flagging delays before they hit the schedule. It’s not just buzz,it’s changing how jobs run day-to-day.
