Transforming construction workflows with smartwatch technology

Scenario: Construction workers in a typical construction company

Construction workers are engaged in various tasks such as operating machinery, handling tools, and performing manual labor that requires the use of both hands.

Problem:

These workers need to receive notifications, track time, and access project details without interrupting their work or using handheld devices, which can be impractical and disruptive.

Solution:

Implementing Wristask on smartwatches offers a hands-free solution that enhances productivity and safety, and is easy to adopt without needing extensive training.

Steps:

1. Receiving notifications and alerts:

• Before: Workers had to interrupt their tasks to check their phones or radios for updates, which could be time-consuming and disruptive.
• With Wristask: Notifications and alerts are delivered directly to their smartwatches, keeping them informed without interrupting their work. The wrist vibrations help capture their attention even in noisy environments.

2. Time tracking and attendance:

• Before: Time tracking was often done manually or required the use of a separate device, which could be cumbersome.
• With Wristask: Workers can easily log their hours and breaks using their smartwatches, ensuring accurate and efficient time tracking.

3. Accessing project details:

• Before: Accessing project plans or instructions required workers to refer to paper documents or handheld devices, which could be impractical on site.
• With Wristask: Workers can easily access project details as interactive checklists on their smartwatches’ touch screens. This allows them to view and complete tasks efficiently while keeping their hands free for their work.

4. Safety and emergency alerts:

• Before: Safety alerts and emergency notifications were communicated via loudspeakers or handheld devices, which were not always effective.
• With Wristask: Immediate safety alerts and emergency notifications can be sent directly to workers’ smartwatches, ensuring they receive important information promptly.

Benefits:

• Increased productivity: Hands-free access to notifications, time tracking, and project details reduces downtime and keeps the workflow smooth.
• Enhanced safety: Quick access to safety alerts and emergency notifications helps prevent accidents and ensures a safer working environment.
• Improved communication: Real-time updates and alerts keep workers informed and connected, enabling better coordination on site.
• Ease of adoption: Wristask is user-friendly and easy to adopt, requiring no extensive training for workers.
• Attention in noisy environments: Wrist vibrations help to capture the attention of workers even in loud, busy construction sites.

Conclusion

By integrating Wristask into their daily operations, construction workers in a typical construction company can work more efficiently and safely, contributing to the overall success of their projects.
