Ankur Bhan, Global Head of WING Business Line, tells Intelligent CIO why the company showcased a \u2018smart bulldozer\u2019 at GITEX and demonstrated how monitoring can enable fault prediction in machines to increase safety on construction sites.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the Nokia WING (Worldwide IoT Network Grid<\/a>)\nteam were delighted to showcase a demonstration at GITEX. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We showed guests and exhibitors how global IoT is crucial for harnessing the power of connected assets. Given the boom in construction across the MENA region over the last 10 years, this was a perfect event and location to show how embedding connectivity into construction machinery significantly benefits daily operations on building sites right across the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we showcased a \u2018smart bulldozer\u2019 and demonstrated how monitoring for asset performance can enable fault prediction in machines and significantly increase safety on construction sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MENA region has\nseen eyewatering levels of growth in construction output over the last 10 years.\nWe\u2019ve seen a slight slowdown this year, but according to GlobalData,\nconstruction in the region will quickly accelerate to reach 4.9% by 2022\/23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the proliferation\nof football stadiums, hotels, residential apartments and shopping centres\nshooting up throughout the region, it\u2019s critical that construction firms run\nefficient operations and have access to real time data that shows them the\nperformance of their assets and helps to reduce costly and time-consuming\nfaults during the building development phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can they do this?\nThe ability to collect IoT data from all parts of the supply chains and\noperations is the key. However, what\u2019s clear is that construction companies do\nnot want to spend significant amounts of resource on figuring out and\nultimately managing a complex network of IoT machinery and data collection\nsystems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We demonstrated how\nconstruction firms can partner with mobile network operators enabled by our\ntechnology so they can focus on what they are best at; building the stunning\ncities of the future and alongside operators, Nokia WING can worry about data\nand asset performance. Construction companies require a \u2018one touch\u2019 partner who\ncan provide secure, constant connectivity to products and machines anywhere in\nthe world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally crucial is the fact that we have also seen how health and safety issues have sometimes led to injuries and fatalities on construction sites right around the world. Transitioning to smart bulldozers and other construction equipment will drive down the rates of human error and enable construction crews to increasingly control machines safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The capability of an\nIoT network grid is not limited to the construction sector, we see\nmanufacturers increasingly embedding connectivity into their smart products,\nfrom the connected refrigerator to huge industrial transformers that easily\ncost hundreds of thousands of dollars. This enables manufacturers to monitor\nand maintain machines and products after they are sold, which in turn provides\nopportunities for upselling new services or features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nokia WING, together with our mobile network operator partners, are unleashing manufacturers and construction companies to reach their full potential. WING is a globally distributed, cloud-native mobile core infrastructure with a single, global connectivity management platform. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
