How are new business models and trends addressing cost and schedule overruns in projects?

The construction sector is undergoing a transformative phase driven by innovative business models, technological advancements, and forward-thinking strategies. Keestrack, a leader in this revolution, is at the forefront of bringing about positive change within the industry, and thereby inspiring the future growth of infrastructure construction.

We have designed innovative business models to address some of the construction industry's most pressing issues, such as sustainability, cost and schedule overruns. and labor shortages. By leveraging technologies like AI and IoT, Keestrack is not only enhancing its product offerings but also setting new standards for the construction sector.


We are integrating eco-friendly practices and optimizing supply chains to not only reduces environmental impact but also mitigate schedule delays. For instance, the company's focus on hybrid and electric drive systems in its equipment has significantly cut down fuel consumption and emissions, promoting a greener construction sector. These hybrid solutions combine diesel and electric power, allowing for greater flexibility and reduced operational costs. This dual-power approach not only aligns with global sustainability goals but also ensures that projects are completed on time and within budget.

One notable example that highlights the effectiveness of these models is a large infrastructure project where the use of Keestrack's hybrid crushers and screens resulted in a 30% reduction in fuel costs and a 25% decrease in project completion time. There are numerous other instances where Keestrack machines significantly reduce operational costs and efficiently power other machines and accessories using a single prime mover.

How is Keestrack leveraging technologies like Robotics, Automation, IoT, AI, and Digitalization to transform construction operations?

The integration of advanced technologies such as robotics, automation, IoT, AI, and digitalization is transforming traditional construction operations. Keestrack's machinery leverages these technologies to enhance performance and operational efficiency. The inclusion of automated maintenance alerts and real-time performance monitoring through Keestrack-er Telematics ensures maximum uptime and productivity.

A case study from a European construction firm demonstrates the impact of these technologies. By utilizing Keestrack-er, the firm was able to reduce downtime by 40%, significantly enhancing its operational efficiency. The deployment of AI for predictive maintenance has also minimized unexpected breakdowns, ensuring smoother project execution.

How is Keestrack tackling labour shortage?

Keestrack's comprehensive solutions address the industry's challenges, including the shortage of skilled labor. The company’s equipment is designed to be user-friendly, requiring minimal manual intervention, thus enhancing productivity and efficiency on job sites. All of our machines feature maintenance-friendly designs and robust engineering, ensuring long-term reliability and ease of operation. This enables operators, even those with less experience, to achieve optimal performance.

An American construction company’s experience with Keestrack’s equipment underscores these benefits. Faced with a labor shortage, they turned to Keestrack’s automated solutions, which allowed them to maintain high productivity levels. The easy-to-use interface and automated features reduced the need for highly skilled operators, thus bridging the gap created by labor shortages.

What forward-thinking strategies and collaborations are helping Keestrack tap new business opportunities?

Keestrack’s commitment to forward-thinking strategies and collaboration is evident in its approach to overcoming industry challenges and embracing new opportunities. The company partners with leading tech firms and research institutions to continuously innovate its product offerings. This collaborative effort has led to the development of solutions like diesel-electric hybrid systems that provide operational flexibility and reduce dependence on traditional fuels.

These partnerships have fostered a culture of innovation and sustainability within Keestrack, inspiring other industry players to adopt similar approaches. A notable collaboration involved a project with a leading technology provider to develop an AI-driven analytics tool that optimizes equipment performance. This tool has been instrumental in providing actionable insights, enabling construction firms to make data-driven decisions that enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
