Construction
Know where the plant is, what the wind is doing and who needs help
For contractors and civil crews whose equipment moves between jobs, whose lifts stop for wind and whose people sometimes work alone.
The problem
The job moves every few months, and the records do not follow.
A lift that waits on a guess
The lift plan sets a wind limit, but the only number to hand is a regional forecast or a phone held up in the air.
Where is the generator?
Plant and attachments move between jobs on someone's say-so, and the yard list is a week behind.
Equipment that leaves out of hours
A machine goes from a site over the weekend, and the first sign is an empty space on Monday morning.
Showing you kept the limit
Months later a client or a neighbour asks what the wind was doing on one afternoon, and nobody kept the readings.
What you can do with Powoflow now
Where to start
Start with the plant list. Trackers and a weather station on request.
Use it for maintenance first
Service logs, inspections and checklists need no hardware, so the crew can begin with those.
One tracker, one machine
A single asset tracker in Powoflow: whether it is moving, where it was last seen and whether someone has taken it off.
How tracking worksWhat it does not do yet
- We have not validated dust or noise readings on our own system, so do not rely on them for a permit yet.
- Trackers need a view of the sky and a gateway in range. They suit a site or a yard, not a machine on the road between them.
- No geofences. You are not told when plant crosses a site boundary.
- There is no construction starter template yet, so we set up your asset types with you.
- An SOS or a wind alarm shows in Powoflow in a browser, and on a phone only with the mobile app. Someone has to be watching.
