____________________________________________________________________________________________ AI in construction with less .’ The concept is simple , if you can ’ t eliminate a non-value-added process , automate it and utilize high-value resources to audit and control .
Efficiency in task management can sharply reduce costs and increase productivity . Leveraging AI to execute labor-intensive and time-consuming processes streamlines workflows and increases accuracy while reducing the strain on resources , both human and technological .
A framework for success
Successfully infusing data and AI into construction demands a new paradigm . The approach we take at Syntax has four pillars , and it ’ s one that construction leaders can apply to incorporate artificial intelligence in business processes . Industry-first context : how data and AI capabilities manifest in construction businesses looks completely different from the application in mining and natural resources . Bottom line : it requires an industry perspective paired with a different mindset about the technology that powers it . Modular approach : treat ERP as a system of capabilities unlocked by cloud and empowered by data . Security by design : view the network edge as a moving target , embracing a zero-trust mindset to build to recover , operate to protect , and monitor to respond . Operational control : unify multi-cloud operations and embrace automation to enable transparency , command , and continuous optimization .
The construction industry has a long track record of adopting new technologies successfully and to great effect . From simple machines to machine learning , the leaders in this space continue to scrape the sky in physical and technological ways . ■
