Key takeaways
Idle plant bleeds quietly.
Idle equipment on a site runs into thousands of dollars a day in lost labour, missed milestones and subcontractor penalties, and it tends to be nobody's single job to notice.
The data is scattered.
Work is organised as one-off projects, so data is spread across sites and jobs and rarely gathered into anything that learns from the last project.
The foundation comes first.
This sector is earlier on the maturity curve, so the honest path is to build the base before the use cases.
