Construction
Innovations are the order of the day in the construction industry. Buildings and systems are connected to the Internet of Things, generating huge amounts of data. That leads to new functionalities and predictive maintenance, where parts are not replaced until they have to be. The energy transition is presenting major replacement and maintenance challenges to electricity, heat and water grid operators. Furthermore, the construction industry has to find a solution to the scarcity of material and trained employees, which is putting pressure on the profitability of current projects.
Optimal anticipation
One of the greatest challenges faced by the construction industry is the efficient use of staff. Good schedules take into account employee wishes, the laws and regulations, CLAs, and of course scheduling for the current project. A successful construction project also requires supply chain management. Materials and employees have to be in the right place at the right time to guarantee a project’s progress. ORTEC has solutions to enable you to align your supply chain with your strategy. For example, sensors and big data provide more insight into the use of spaces, ventilation and heating systems. As buildings and systems become more closely connected by the Internet of Things, more data is generated that can lead to more efficient predictive maintenance. Predictive maintenance uses data analysis and algorithms to predict when maintenance will be necessary, thus helping to prevent unnecessary downtime.
Rock solid workforce system
The workforce of your company is a valuable asset, but also an expensive one. You want to deploy it as efficiently as possible, and you want to keep your employees as satisfied as possible. This doesn’t always seem compatible. Furthermore, the increasing and diversified laws and regulations that are being created to ensure health, safety and satisfaction in the workplace are also adding both to the workload and to the cost. Companies in the construction industry need to assign the right number of people at the right moment to be able to deliver on the promise they made to their customers. Therefore, the workforce system they select should be the rock solid foundation for planning, in order to meet forecasted demand. ORTEC offers this solution.

Game-changing data
Data is an integrated part of your organization and changes the work at every level. Your business calls for new skills not yet present in the workplace. When it comes to data-oriented projects, you cannot continue to rely on third parties. It is important to build your own expertise in the area of data sciences, and for your employees to be able to apply those skills in their daily work. ORTEC offers a wide range of Data Science Training programs through our Analytics Academy, enabling us to support organizations in each stage of the transition towards a data-driven organization.
