Caterpillar: Digital Jobsite of the Future

It seems everything can be connected in ways that once seemed impossible. Terry Rasmussen of Caterpillar asks: What about the construction jobsite?

Terry will explore the Digital Jobsite of the Future, with cutting-edge technologies that can exponentially increase efficiency and profitability.

Telogis: Leveraging Gamification: Jobsite Safety & Your Bottom Line

Smart phones and tablets may seem unlikely tools to improve worker performance, but gamification is a growing trend in business. Alexandre Didoné of Telogis LATAM will demonstrate how attendees can harness the power of competition, with real-time jobsite data, to make companies and workers safer, smarter and more productive.

Roberto Martinez Gonzalez will offer an intriguing case study on Chile’s forward-looking experience adopting Tier 3. What motivated Chile and how did they manage to integrate all relevant industry and government stakeholders? What challenges did they face, especially for off-road construction and mining machinery, and what benefits did they reap? What future challenges lie ahead?

For attendees looking for immediate solutions, Julio Molina, General Manager Distribuidora Cummins Peru SAC, will offer another valuable insight: How can manufacturers “de-tier” engines and pro-actively work with customers in less regulated territories?
