Blockbax for the Construction and Infrastructure Industry
Use Blockbax to drive innovations like predictive maintenance and equipment tracking into an
industry that is rapidly changing driven by the massive urbanization and an increasing
complexity and size of projects.
Future of Construction
and Infrastructure
The nature of the construction industry is changing, driven by technology, the massive
urbanization, the need of a more sustainable economy and by an increasing complexity and size of
projects. Construction companies also need to be able to cope with both an increasing market
demand whilst having to overcome an ever growing talent gap and ageing of their workforce.
New trends are currently shaping the construction industry—from innovative business and
contracting models to new products and processes that are boosting productivity and enhancing
efficiency. The adoption of innovative technologies that can change the way the industry has
traditionally operated needs to be accelerated and adopted on a company-wide scale.
The availability of real-time data from sensors that can indicate the actual condition of an asset
has disrupted the traditional schedule-based approach to maintenance processes. Customers
increasingly demand that this type of work is only done when the data shows that the asset actually
needs to be maintained and that as a result of this the number of unexpected equipment failures will
decrease.
Furthermore we see a clear trend where not only the company that has built something will be
responsible for the maintenance but also that the duration of these maintenance contracts are
getting longer. Being able to meet the SLA’s associated with these maintenance contracts whilst
being able to drive the costs associated with them down is a clear opportunity for any company in
this industry.
“Blockbax provides TBI with an easy to use interactive dashboard based on real time data from IoT. Blockbax’ No Code
approach allows us to collaborate closely with the business and quickly test new and promising applications. We use
the Blockbax Platform to scale the ones that are successful which allows us to stay ahead of our competition.”

Real-time tracking of construction equipment and assets
The construction industries heavily relies on a variety of vehicles, equipment and tools to
facilitate the construction process. Connect these assets to the Blockbax Platform and track
their location and health and optimize the allocation of assets to projects. Asset tracking
also helps with the prevention of theft and loss of equipment and in assisting your
workforce in finding equipment faster.
Digital Site monitoring
Use Blockbax to combine insights from sensors for e.g. environmental conditions, energy and
water consumption and safety related aspects like hazardous gases or high noise-levels. The
platform will generate alerts for key thresholds to allow for quick course corrections if
needed. This will allow real-time monitoring of project progress and optimization of working
efficiency and safety conditions.
Preventive maintenance
Lay the foundation for condition based maintenance during the construction phase by
installing a variety of sensors that can measure and monitor the condition of assets like
tunnels, bridges and railway tracks. The Blockbax Platform will proactively generate
notifications to start operational processes like inspections, maintenance activities or
replacing worn parts.
