Deploying a construction equipment training solution globally

Overview

According to GlobalData, the global construction output is estimated to reach $12.9 trillion by 2022. The Project Analysis Group estimates that an average of 35% of all construction projects will undergo a major change because of massive technological disruption. With so many ambitious projects being driven by digital transformation on such a large scale, it is now more important than ever to upskill construction workers and train them to use advanced technology, tools, and equipment for safer and durable construction practices.

The world leader in the design and manufacture of products for the construction, building maintenance, energy, and manufacturing industries was faced with a major hurdle – construction workers needed training on how to operate and use their tools and equipment. This was essential as there was an increasing competency gap in the construction industry, but the legal requirements for safety and compliance were getting stricter. Deploying a trainer to every construction site would be expensive. However, simply sharing a video on construction practices and how to use the tools themselves would not be effective. They were in dire need of a solution that could be deployed around the world across multiple construction sites to train workers and demonstrate best practices that would also be cost-effective and efficient.

The work with ansrsource in the DT pilot project can be described as efficient, target oriented, and based on open, transparent communication leading to steady improvements in the course of the project. It proved decisive to have a permanent, stable team working on the various topics – this lead to a trust relationship and an improvement/learning curve steep enough to achieve the necessary quality levels.

Client needs

Faced with an inability to send trainers out to the field to explain to construction workers how the company’s machinery, tools, and equipment work, the company sought a way to deliver all the necessary training and demonstration about best practices and usage of construction machinery and equipment through Digital Trainers.
They required courses and modules that could cover all the necessary information and provide an experience similar to face-to-face training.

Our approach

The ansrsource team created an interactive course structure that blended aspects of a live presenter and a virtual 3D character and structured it to suit the mobile device. The courses also included animated videos, product videos, and other instructional content.

Interactive elements and quizzes were also used to create compelling training programs delivered right at construction sites on how to use and maintain the tools and other construction aspects for a safe and efficient construction site. This yielded better compliance, increased ROI, and lower liability risk for construction companies.
