The construction industry is currently experiencing a technological transformation driven by the need for increased efficiency, sustainability, and safety on jobsites. Our recently released 2024 Tools, Equipment, and Robotics Benchmarking Report sheds light on the current state of technology adoption, usage, and satisfaction within this increasingly critical sector. In our report, which is free to all members, we break down our data by function-specific categories: Fleet Management & Monitoring, Equipment Safety, Equipment & Machinery Marketplace Solutions, Tools Management & Monitoring Solutions, Equipment Fuel Alternatives, and Robotic Solutions. Furthermore, within each of those categories, we gauge users on what tech they're using, how often its being implemented on projects, and satisfaction rates for a range of functions unique to that specific variety of solution. For instance, our Fleet Management & Monitoring Solution category includes tech ratings for Adoption/Utilization, Ease of Use, Asset Protection/Threat Prevention, Collaboration with Stakeholders, Data Collection, Document Accessibility, and Fleet Performance Monitoring. As their names suggests, these reports are meant to serve as benchmarking resources for companies building out new or improving existing tech stacks—a task that is becoming increasingly complicated and difficult.

Why Digital Transformation? And where to start it? That is the question I got a couple of weeks ago at a customer visit. ❓ A buzzword or not? Digital transformation isn’t just about technology; it’s about your whole organization, from internal processes to company culture. The goal? A flexible business that puts customers first and makes digital the norm. When you bring in new technology, the main thing is to make sure it adds value for you. But the most important part is getting the basics right first. ➡️ Efficient engineering is our focus: Eplan is the ideal platform to streamline challenging engineering processes, to get the basics right. We did it at GEA, we did it at Eaton, we did it at Vinci! 📌 But, what about your company, how do you do that? Let’s connect and chat about it.

Magtec has completed two industrial research projects, both matched-funded by the UK government and delivered through the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC). The strategic programmes focused on the production scale-up of Magtec’s class-leading traction motors and controllers with the aim of transforming manufacturing processes and product designs to achieve volumes of more than 5,000 units annually. In 2020, the company secured match-funding of more than £5m through the APC’s Collaborative Research & Development funding stream. Working in a consortium, which included transport OEMs Dennis Eagle and Angel Trains, the MTC and AMRC, Magtec was able to embark on a three-year project to reinvent manufacturing processes and future-proof manufacturing capacity while guaranteeing high quality and traceability. Using advanced digital manufacturing principles, Magtec established new intellectual property that made its products easier and faster to manufacture at scale. This involved the introduction of new pilot production equipment, designed to prove-out agile automation while allowing for rapid reconfiguration, meaning all motor variants can now flow through the same production line with minimal disruption. Additionally, the project helped Magtec establish a robust UK supply chain for electrification, providing better security of supply as forecast volumes ramp up. In 2022, Magtec went on to secure additional APC match-funding of £2m through the ATF’s Scale-up Readiness competition. With this support, Magtec was able to reapply its acquired lean and digital manufacturing expertise to support the industrialisation of its controller systems, employing automation best practices, redesigning products and further developing UK supply-chain opportunities, to build a roadmap for volume manufacture of both motors and controllers. Andrew Gilligan, managing director of Magtec, said: “Through the support of the APC, we are now better able to service fleets and OEMs in the UK, Europe and the United States as they transition to electric vehicles. We’ve transformed our manufacturing capabilities while maintaining the exceptional durability and performance that makes our systems ideal for demanding commercial uses.” Matt Shillito, senior project delivery lead for the APC, added: “Magtec’s high performance electric drive train technology is now excellently positioned to seize a growth market opportunity. As demand for electric vehicles increases both for first-build and re-power applications, so does the need for versatile and effective powertrain systems like those offered by Magtec. “Making these systems efficient and affordable is essential to enable decarbonisation of the range of commercial vehicles currently in use, while still delivering customer priorities like drivability, range and efficiency. It is exciting to see a UK company and its local supply chain partners gearing up to deliver these systems to the automotive sector at scale.”

FLANDERS Opens Innovation, Technology, and Training Center, Driving Customer Solution Collaboration & Workforce Development Today FLANDERS hosted a ribbon cutting to celebrate the opening of our Innovation, Technology, and Training Center in Carmel IN. This Innovation, Technology, and Training Center will serve as the hub for FLANDERS Advanced Development and Autonomous Solutions teams, providing a cutting-edge facility for customer solution collaboration and developing the workforce of the future. The FLANDERS executive team was joined by Shankar Golpalan: Thiess Group Executive, Strategy, Sustainability and Safety and Shauna Murphy: Thiess - Business Development Manager North America, as well as key individuals from the City of Carmel, Indiana Department of Economic Development, EmployIndy, and Conexus. Kim Weninger, FLANDERS CEO said, “Indianapolis & Carmel are at the heart of a fast-growing Midwest technology corridor, with a diverse source of global talent at academic institutions, research facilities, technology companies, and innovative enterprises. The FLANDERS Innovation, Technology, and Training Center will strengthen our ability to improve productivity and support decarbonization initiatives for our customers, with higher efficiency electric machines, drives, controls, and autonomous systems." Shankar Golpalan: Thiess Group Executive, Strategy, Sustainability and Safety said, “I am delighted to be present at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the FLANDERS Innovation, Technical, and Training Center. This facility offers a technologically advanced environment for Thiess to collaborate with FLANDERS on decarbonization solutions, which will play a crucial role in aiding our clients in reducing fuel consumption, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing productivity. The forthcoming laboratory and training simulators will be pivotal in cultivating our teams to effectively handle the increasing electrification and technology solutions in the market." On September 24, 2024, FLANDERS and leading mining services provider Thiess signed an agreement to collaborate on bringing fleet decarbonization options to mine owners in North America and a Letter of Intent (LOI) for Australia and Asia, reducing emissions and improving efficiencies of mining operations. The new facility will give FLANDERS a centralized, yet globally accessible, location focused on the next generation of autonomous and decarbonization solutions. These developments include the agnostic hybrid haul truck systems and the expansion of autonomous solutions from drills to other mining machines. The first phase of renovation will begin in the 4th quarter of 2024 and be completed within 12-18 months.
