Technology isn’t slowing down, and, as competition increases, it is essential for contractors to adapt to new technologies to stay viable.  Those that don’t adopt changing technologies may find themselves unable to compete against rivals with an augmented workforce that can complete tasks more accurately, more quickly and at a lower cost.

Automation is quickly making its way into the construction industry, with bricklaying robots and 3D-mapping drones. But the use of robotic process automation (RPA) in construction extends beyond work sites.  This presentation will discuss the fundamentals of RPA, the key vendors, a demonstration of one of the leading tools, and how construction companies can get started.
