Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to transform many industries, and site surveying and project management are no exceptions. While it won’t be putting on a hard hat anytime soon, AI is already starting to handle a lot when it comes to planning, coordination, and decision-making. To explore how AI will shape the future of these fields, we spoke with Lauren Kelly, Founder of Wayfindit.
Enhancing Collaboration and Communication
AI has the potential to significantly improve team collaboration and communication. Lauren explains, “AI will help teams not only collaborate and communicate with each other but also keep reminders on tasks.” This means that AI can assist in managing day-to-day communications and ensuring that important tasks, such as obtaining permits, are not overlooked. By automating routine tasks, AI allows teams to focus on more strategic aspects of their projects.
Generative Wayfinding Strategies
One of the most exciting applications of AI in wayfinding is the development of generative wayfinding strategies. Lauren is enthusiastic about this potential, stating, “It’s about leveraging those tools to analyse potential routes people may take and determine the most effective messaging to display on the signs.” AI can analyze various routes and suggest optimal messaging for signs, enhancing the overall effectiveness of wayfinding systems. This innovative approach ensures that users have an excellent navigation experience.
Measuring Effectiveness
AI also offers the capability to measure the effectiveness of wayfinding systems by the numbers and user experience. Lauren highlights this benefit, noting, “It’s about being able to assess and measure both quantitatively and qualitatively how wayfinding systems are functioning within a facility to identify areas for improvement.” By providing detailed insights into how well wayfinding systems perform, AI enables continuous improvement and ensures that users do not get lost.
A Promising Future
The integration of AI into site surveying and project management holds great promise. From enhancing collaboration and communication to developing generative wayfinding strategies and measuring system effectiveness, AI is set to transform these fields. Lauren emphasizes that “AI is going to play a crucial role in helping teams collaborate, manage tasks, and improve wayfinding systems.” With these advancements, Wayfindit is well-positioned to lead the way in leveraging AI for more effective project execution.
