The advent of connected tools has had a profound impact on the way construction and assembly worksites are conceptualised and executed

Connected tools are revolutionising construction and assembly sites, making them more efficient and safer. They also provide valuable data to workers and companies. At the heart of this revolution is a change in wireless technology, including but not limited to communication protocols such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

Types of connected tools include devices or instruments with connectivity capabilities that allow them to communicate or exchange data with other devices, systems, or networks. Smart tools typically establish communication via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other communication protocols.

Technological change involves integrating sensors, software, and connectivity features that can collect and share data. The Internet of Things (IoT) has taken connected tools to a higher level, with cloud connectivity enabling remote data management since the mid-2010s.

The benefits of direct connectivity include performance tracking, predictive maintenance, and data analytics, as well as increased productivity, simplified asset management, improved cost control, and greater transparency of the tool library.

The right technology for each situation needs to take into account the specific needs of the project, including technical planning, design management, production management and construction phase management. Examples include prefabricated component BIM design information directly interfacing with factory production systems, assembly building production information management platforms covering project management and factory management, assembly quality traceability systems based on BM and IoT, and assembly factory material information management.

Overall, connected tools have revolutionised construction and assembly sites through the application of wireless technology, improving efficiency and safety while providing valuable data support.
