The combination of trimble solutions makes the construction process faster, safer and more cost-effective. Their use increases productivity and makes better use of materials, resources and personnel.

How do you see the company and the construction industry in the future?

The team believes that the future of the Indian construction industry lies in the development of construction technologies. He also recognizes that modern construction technologies are still widely used by small companies or small projects in India. As a result, there is a huge potential for technology to have a real and positive impact on the industry. Moreover, many of these technologies are constantly evolving, and the industry is already equipped with advanced technologies such as AI, advanced learning and computer vision and more to see more advanced software.

At Trimble, the team is committed to supporting and supporting the construction industry as it undergoes significant digital transformation in the coming years. At the same time, it is committed to building companies on the right path and delivering better solutions to their growing needs. To make technology more accessible to small or medium-sized AEC companies that do not always have high initial costs, the company has made strategic changes to its subscription-based payment models since this year.

Today, Trimble Solutions is in a unique position to help Indian construction players embrace automation and digitization, and help them prepare for a exciting and challenging future. The team is working with a number of leading Indian builders and construction professionals and is pleased to see that the Indian construction industry is finally moving towards digital transformation, which is good for the industry.

AI is expected to be the next market. How is AI contributing to the development of your products and services?

The Trimble Solutions team believes that AI power can be used to secure construction sites, improve communications, and automatically diagnose errors and conflicts in the project space, often resulting in significant rework and waste in the project. As mentioned above, modern construction software from Trimble includes machine learning and AI and is having an impact on many construction projects around the world.

For example, because construction sites pose a number of health and safety hazards, it has developed tools such as Trimble CrewSight that only trained, qualified, and well-equipped personnel are allowed to enter the workplace. With the help of AI and video-based surveillance, such devices completely eliminate the role of human error in security matters and bring victory to all stakeholders.

In addition, last year, Trimble announced a partnership with Hilti and Boston Dynamics to use robots for routine operations in hazardous environments to improve security, efficiency and data capture consistency. When these innovations come and go in different countries, they are believed to be truly disruptive to the global construction industry.

What are some of the challenges facing the industry today?

As mentioned above, many of the challenges facing the construction industry today are directly related to the completion of projects that lead to poor productivity and frequent delays, which directly affects the margins and profitability of construction companies.

The construction industry is labor intensive. It also largely relies on traditional construction practices in fragmented processes. Due to the epidemic and subsequent locks, the industry is facing an unprecedented crisis. The ever-increasing cost of materials and other resources, starting with the shortage of labor, has put a strain on the construction industry to find solutions to improve its productivity and complete projects on time.

That is why the company has a direct impact on the project timeline and fundamentally supports the adoption of modern construction technologies and techniques to facilitate the efficient use of people, materials and processes in short productivity. Although many big industry players have adopted construction technologies, India has not been able to see the smaller players adopt the technology in the same way, but it is certain that most industry players will eventually embrace the technology.
