ADR Software Contracted to Provide Automated Workforce Monitoring Service at Construction Sites in Denver, Baltimore and Washington, DC Metro Areas

Reston, VA (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

ADR Software, LLC, manager of the Automated Daily Reporting Network and the Workforce Monitor service, today announced that it has been retained by four large general contractors to initiate workforce monitoring and reporting services at new projects located in Aurora, Colorado; Greeley, Colorado; Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland. Clients include Kiewit-Turner, Twin Contracting, HITT Contracting and Turner Construction.

“We are pleased to have been given these important assignments,” said Bruce Labovitz, ADR’s co-founder and President. “These are big and complex projects spread out over large areas that require timely information regarding labor and manpower activities. Workforce Monitor gives the project managers and project administrators access to real-time insight into the composition of their workforce at any given time. Using any web-enabled device like a cell phone, an iPad, a laptop or tablet, project managers can evaluate not just who actually came to work today but also who was supposed to come to work today and who is still at work at any given time during the day. ADR’s real-time workforce information is invaluable in bringing a project to conclusion on-time and on budget.”

“One of our customers is using Workforce Monitor to insure compliance with local economic development and hiring objectives,” Labovitz continued. “With Workforce Monitor on site the client is able to evaluate their compliance on a daily, monthly or project-to-date basis. We believe this real-time analysis provides a competitive advantage in the bidding process and we work closely with our general contractor clients to include ADR in their bid packages.”

ADR also announced that its database of manpower had grown to over 20,000 registered (or tagged) resources. ADR’s Workforce Monitor service is the pedestrian equivalent to the RFID-based automated highway toll collection systems. With ADR’s proprietary Automated Daily Reporting Network, all ADR portals are connected together so a worker who has an ADR tag on their hard hat can be read at any Workforce Monitor enabled project. As such, ADR is able to track workers and sub-contractors across multiple projects for a single general contractor while eliminating the need for redundant data collection and processing. ADR’s Workforce Web Application interacts with leading construction management systems to seamlessly integrate data collected in the field with daily reports, work schedules and accounting requirements.

Workforce Monitor is a service of ADR Software, LLC headquartered in Reston, Virginia. General contractors, owners, project managers and sub-contractors use the service to empower real-time workforce decision making, to provide invaluable project workforce documentation, to improve safety awareness and response readiness and ultimately to manage risk.

Workforce Monitor utilizes RFID tags, embedded in stickers affixed to hard hats and ID badges, to monitor workforce traffic without delays, interruptions or intrusions. Workforce Monitor is currently monitoring over 20,000 workers at construction sites throughout the United States.

EarthCam Introduces Photography Documentation Services for the Construction Industry

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 22, 2012

EarthCam, the innovators in construction camera technology, brings another product to market with construction photography documentation for interior, exterior and foundation imaging providing construction professionals with an indisputable record of pre-existing and as-built conditions. EarthCam will debut the new services at the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) National Conference and Trade Show in Chicago, today.

EarthCam’s new imaging service is an interactive visual record of an entire construction project, inside and out. Utilizing this service, users have the ability to upload high resolution inspection-grade, geotagged images from any jobsite to building plans, engineering and architectural drawings. The photos are indexed by date, time, staff, trade, location and keyword tags. Using a special image comparison tool, users can view various images captured from the same vantage point over time and compare two specific images to identify areas of concern and analyze differences. This unique feature allows users to virtually peel the walls back to inspect work and verify compliance.

Users have a do-it-yourself option using EarthCam’s iPhone/iPad app or may commission EarthCam’s network of photographers to provide a professional end-to-end solution. From any jobsite, project managers and engineers can take an instant snapshot from their smartphone, add dictations then upload it to EarthCam’s servers, where it will be integrated with weather data into their site plans. EarthCam’s network of local photographers are knowledgeable in both the latest camera technology and the construction industry. EarthCam will schedule site visits to capture detailed photos, using best practices to document progress at important milestones, such as prior to concrete pours, electrical inspections and before the walls are closed up.

The new photography documentation services are perfectly suited for the construction industry and complement EarthCam’s existing line of webcams for exterior documentation. Project managers will benefit from photos captured against key milestones, with the ability to share these images with all team members for unified communications. Interior photo documentation offers a complete visual record of the construction progress and may be used for disputing claims, as well as an ongoing tool for maintenance teams.

In addition, EarthCam will be demonstrating their new GigapixelCam at CMAA (Exhibit #715). The revolutionary system is the world’s first automated outdoor gigapixel webcam, capable of generating impressive 1 billion pixel panoramas. These super high resolution images are captured over the life of a project, may be included into project site plans and are edited into a theatrical-quality time-lapse movie. Showcasing the most impressive views of any construction process, time-lapse movies serve as the perfect way for companies to promote their projects.
