Finding ways to deliver construction data efficiently is one of the biggest challenges any project manager faces. From field workers collecting work-in-progress data and transmittal reports to daily field reports or equipment details, collecting this information from the field is vital for improving productivity, ensuring safety and minimizing costly errors.
At this point, it should be evident that technology can play a pivotal role. Even though field workers may not be used to utilizing tech in an office setting, we now have tools available that allow them to become more productive out in the field; tablets in particular are an ideal means of doing this.
The Samsung Tab Active 3 features a ruggedised outer shell designed specifically for use on construction sites, providing IP68-rated protection from drops, dust and water. In addition, this tablet includes built-in stylus support to enable use even while wearing gloves.
For anyone concerned about tablet damage at their site, this device is an ideal solution. It features cellular capabilities for communicating with other team members and staying abreast of changes made on a project. Furthermore, its durability ensures it will continue to perform in years to come.
It may be more expensive than other tablets on this list, but the Lenovo Tablet PC stands out by being compatible with both keyboard and stylus use - perfect for using with AutoCAD software and construction drawings. Furthermore, its powerful specifications make this an excellent option for construction site environments.
