The core of digitalization: Data integrity and consistency

Before diving into the AI world, establishing a foundation based on data integrity and consistency is crucial. In the construction industry, where each project orchestrates workforce, machinery, and materials, even small data inaccuracies can cause significant setbacks. Barde's platform ensures your organization's data is accurate, accessible, and fit for purpose.

Our services provide comprehensive oversight and real-time updates on your machine and equipment fleet status, from operating hours to maintenance needs, ensuring your decisions are based on reliable information. This fundamental step not only simplifies administrative processes but also paves the way for seamless AI integration later.

Cut costs through improved data modeling

Prioritizing data integrity creates immediate cost savings and risk reduction. Our analysis shows that effective data management directly impacts various cost accounts:

• Reduced downtime: With better machine health visibility, planned maintenance can be significantly optimized, reducing unexpected downtime and associated costs. This leads to more efficient rental equipment allocation and decreased waiting time for both machinery and personnel. A stationary excavator can mean 80-100,000 NOK per day in increased project costs.
  
  
• Maintenance and repairs: Improved planning and documentation facilitates timely service, minimizes emergency repairs, and extends the lifespan of valuable equipment.
  
  
• Operational eficiency: A well-maintained machine fleet and accessible data means fewer wasted trips for repairs and a streamlined workflow from onsite to workshop, saving precious time and resources.
  
  
• Insurance and regulatory compliance: Documented maintenance and operational records can lead to lower insurance premiums and reduce the risk of non-compliance fines.

Preparing for AI: The next evolutionary step

Once an organization has established strong data practices, the transition to AI becomes far more intuitive. AI can further enhance decision-making, predictive maintenance, and project planning, leading to even greater efficiency and cost savings. However, the key to unlocking these benefits lies in the willingness to begin the digital transformation journey.
