Two Big Needs in Construction

This week’s show is powered by Hilti. Peggy and Erik Mikysa, senior vice president of marketing, Hilti, talk about the biggest needs in the construction industry today. He says the two things keeping construction executives up at night are material costs/issues with supply chain and labor—and labor supply and labor cost. Power tools and tool management isn’t at the top of the list—but the reason there is so much interest in Nuron is because it directly addresses labor that is keeping people up at night. They also discuss: Three core beliefs for construction—and how Nuron was built from the ground up to address each of those. The importance of labor attraction and retention and labor productivity in construction. How equipment-as-a-service can help increase productivity and sustainability of construction. hilti.com  (4/5/22 - 765) IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, blockchain, 5G, cloud, sustainability, future of work, podcast, Erik Mikysa, Hilti, HiltiInfluencer This episode is available on all major streaming platforms.
