This episode will be available to stream at 9am ET.

The technology supported by data centers is increasingly finding its way back onto the sites where those facilities are built. AI is helping manufacturers analyze how safety equipment performs and wears over time, while Cloud-based platforms are giving construction teams new ways to manage tools, service records and safety information. Yet many projects still rely on manual processes and paper records, creating a disconnect between the infrastructure being delivered and the methods used to build it. Bringing AI and digital tools into construction offers an opportunity to improve safety, increase visibility, and give teams better information throughout the project. In this episode we explore:

  • How AI is being used to analyze PPE performance and inform safer product design
  • Why digital safety tools matter more as data center construction moves faster and scales up
  • What connected equipment can tell teams about tool condition, usage and accountability
  • How digital safety practices can support more efficient and reliable project delivery
