There has been a lot of talk about how artificial intelligence (AI) is going to change the world. From the way we communicate, transportation, and even the way we construct buildings. Construction actually benefits a lot from this technology and many countries all over the world already use AI in project management. While we are a bit behind, it is never too late to get started.
Here are just exciting ways AI has been used in project management:
1. Artificial Neural Networks for planning
One of the common ways AI is used is to make the studying of information easier and faster. With Artificial Neural Networks, historical data is learned by machines to predict costs and timeline. They can even assess the capabilities of a project management team. It sounds good to be true but several scientific fields use this technology all the time. This technology will definitely save a lot of teams' time and ensure they do not go over the budget.
2.AI for better design
In a given project, a lot of experts are involved: civil engineers, architects, electrical engineers, and the list goes on. With AI, it is easy to make sure their designs do not clash with each other. “Building Information Modeling is a 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering and construction professionals insights to efficiently plan, design, construct and manage buildings and infrastructure.” This technology makes it efficient to design especially for big projects.
3.AI for site safety
Construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. That is why site safety is important and that is why it is important to have a lot of safety measures in place. There is actually an AI technology that can measure compliance among workers and correlate it to site accidents. This technology can also measure if a site project is following COVID protocols. This certainly makes human resource work easier!
4. Big data and construction
In this time and age, data can come from anywhere: CCTVs along roads, pictures of bridges, data from construction sites– you name it. With this big of data that can be analyzed, the industry can make better decisions on what works and what does not. They make designs better suited for human behavior and make our structures safer. It is all about looking into the data.
