Keeping Construction Sites Safe with Load Monitoring Technology

Introduction

Load monitoring is an essential component of the construction industry, where the weight of the load carried by a crane or other lifting equipment must be monitored to ensure safety and prevent accidents. Load monitoring systems can provide accurate and real-time information about the load being lifted, ensuring that it is within safe operating limits.

Challenges

One of the major challenges faced by the construction industry was ensuring the safety of workers and equipment on construction sites. Overloading lifting equipment resulted in equipment failure, accidents, and damage to property. In addition, inaccurate weight measurements resulted in load imbalance, leading to instability and potential accidents.

Another challenge was managing the large amount of data generated by load sensors. Construction sites had multiple sensors across different equipment and locations, which was creating a lot of data that needs to be collected, analyzed, and used to make informed decisions.
