How Construction Equipment Technologies Can Make Operators Better and Safer
Telematics, payload-weighing and operator-attentiveness systems create data that’s changing performance boundaries; using it to coach rather than discipline could distinguish the winners
Inside Caterpillar's 24/7 Monitoring Center, analysts correlate data about the health and productivity of operators and equipment to reveal the magnitude of conditions such as fatigue and distraction and their impact on operations.

Artificial Reality Enhances Actual Construction Performance
Trimble and Aecom have partnered on the application of a virtual-reality headset that allows users to walk through holograms of engineering models prior to construction, saving both time and money
“Our digital world is growing exponentially but we interact with it in the same way we did 30 and 40 years ago—behind 2D screens,” Aviad Almagor Director of Trimble’s Mixed-Reality Program says. “With mixed reality, the digital content crosses the threshold into the real world. This process dramatically improves our ability to understand the relations between the physical and digital assets, it transforms the way we consume, interact and communicate information.”
