Sentri360 from Everguard.ai alerts construction managers and workers in real time about potential safety hazards, including those presented by COVID-19. The firm says the application can ensure employees are wearing personal protective columbus oh dump trucks (PPE) and adhering to social distancing guidelines and can also perform skin temperature checks through advanced thermal imagery capabilities. 

Sentri360’s multi-sensor inputs track workers through an industrial-grade wearable personal alert device. If an employee removes his or her mask for an extended period of time or gets closer than six feet to other workers, he or she will receive an alert reminding them of protocols. Managers are also alerted to enable post-event analysis and provide further health and safety coaching to employees.

Digital twins, 3D virtual replicas of physical buildings and infrastructure, can optimize a project's design, construction and operational performance over its entire lifecycle. The SmartWorldPro2 digital twin platform from Cityzenith is designed for professionals who design, construct and manage complex, large-scale building projects, properties and real estate portfolios. 

The new version adds user-friendly digital twin-specific features and functions, expands data import and integration capabilities and extends the backend to include both SaaS and on-premise implementation options, the firm says. It also includes a presentation feature and a library of analytics and plug-ins.
