Construlife's Successful Implementation of BrickControl for Efficient Project Management
Use Cases
- Track & Trace of Assets
About The Customer
Construlife is a company that specializes in the construction of wooden houses. They are experts in their field, with a focus on delivering high-quality, sustainable housing solutions. As a company operating in the construction industry, they manage multiple projects simultaneously, requiring efficient project management solutions. Prior to the implementation of BrickControl, they were using multiple software solutions for different tasks, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors. The company needed a unified, efficient, and mobile-compatible project management solution to streamline their operations and improve their project tracking capabilities.
The Challenge
Construlife, a company specializing in wooden houses, was facing challenges in managing their projects efficiently. The company was using multiple software solutions for different tasks, leading to redundancy and potential errors. The lack of a unified platform made it difficult to track the progress of their projects, and to monitor deviations from the initial plan. This lack of visibility into the project's performance made it hard to determine whether a project was generating revenue and profits, and to take corrective action when necessary. Additionally, the company needed a solution that would allow them to access their client, supplier, and project information remotely.
The Solution
Construlife adopted BrickControl, a cloud-based project management software, to address these challenges. BrickControl allowed the company to unify their software usage, eliminating the need for repetitive tasks in different software and reducing the risk of errors. The software provided a comprehensive view of their projects, enabling them to track deviations from the start of the project. This visibility allowed them to determine whether a project was profitable and to take necessary action when required. Furthermore, BrickControl's mobile compatibility meant that Construlife could check their client, supplier, and project information from anywhere using their iPhone.

IoT Applications and Upgrades in Textile Plant
At any given time, the textile company’s manufacturing facility has up to 2,000 textile carts in use. These carts are pushed from room to room, carrying materials or semi-finished products. Previously, a paper with a hand-written description was attached to each cart. This traditional method of processing made product tracking extremely difficult. Additionally, making sure that every cart of materials or semi-finished products went to its correct processing work station was also a problem. Therefore, the company desired an intelligent solution for tracking assets at their factories. They also wanted a solution that would help them collect process data so they could improve their manufacturing efficiency.

Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.

IoT Based Asset Tracking System
The existing system used by the customer could only track a few thousand assets and was able to generate only a few standard set of reports. As the number of assets tracked grew exponentially, the system started to break at the seams. The Tracking devices were from different manufacturers following different protocols. There was no proper integration among the devices to send instant alerts. There are thousands of tracking devices spread across multiple geographies, that are moving. The configuration and troubleshooting of these devices incurred heavy costs, which was a logistics challenge. The existing system did not provide sophisticated Analytics, Business Intelligence and Insights from the data
