Digitalizing Site Processes through BAUER Applications

The leverage of digital technologies in the construction industry is an emerging trend for streamlining workflows and standardizing processes leading to holistic project success. At Bauer, we developed and integrated digital tools to optimize several site procedures – making them more efficient, secure, and reliable.

Bauer’s in-house applications are user-friendly software designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, which are created to digitalize documentation on various site processes and replace certain manual procedures concerning site reporting and documentation. These digital innovations include the QAQC application for material and reinforcement tests, a Digital Construction Report for daily activity and progress documentation, and a digital delivery note for the inventory of site deliveries. Each application provides a fixed format for data input and documentation, accessible to be analyzed and monitored by the team and management for proper supervision of project operations.

Another powerful digital integration within Bauer’s workflow is fielddata.io, a digital work platform that provides a quick overview of our foundation construction projects. Fieldata.io has a selection of functions -- including evaluation of construction data (i.e., in anchoring, drilling, grouting, etc.), automation of production data reports, and storage and distribution of site documents or files, among others.

“For our anchoring works in MCRP, we implemented our first digital forms. Here, we’re using a tablet to input actual site data, which automatically generates its reports,” said one of Bauer’s engineers regarding the use of the fielddata.io software platform.
