Get Connected –the Technology Zone at Plantworx 2023

The Plantworx Get Connected technology zone is the brain child of Dale Hawkins of Awesome Earthmovers and former digital manager at Plantforce Rentals.

Dale’s vision was to create a dedicated zone to focus on the technology providers within the construction equipment sector that specialise in machine control, telematics, GPS and machine safety systems.

The inaugural Futureworx event in 2022 was a resounding success and proved the industry is hungry for new technology. As a result, the Futureworx team were asked by leading construction innovators to recreate an element of that event at Plantworx. The new zone will demonstrate the technology and innovation that will drive productivity on the construction site leading us into the construction site of the future.

Dale said, “We want to bring together companies that have new and innovative ways of delivering solutions. The role of machine control, telematics and data is transforming planning operations in modern-day construction. It really is a complete game changer for companies which embrace the new technology and integrate these systems into their everyday operations.

Get Connected will have a strong focus on the people-plant interface, telematics, the connected site, and safety systems.”

The zone will be linked to an outside demonstration area – where the exhibitors (where able) can demonstrate their products in action on working machinery which will have their technology installed. Exhibitors will arrive ready ‘to plug and play’.

*Sean Scarah, Plant and Logistics Director for Balfour Beatty Asset and Solutions Division, “It’s not all about diggers anymore… it’s about a whole connected site where 3D machine control, and in the future, autonomous plant helps to deliver a project and help us on our journey to Net Zero.

And to succeed, we all must work more collaboratively together with industry solution and equipment providers as well as supply chain partners, IT specialists and, of course, clients.”

Concept innovations are also welcome – and exhibitors can use their stand space to demonstrate prototype systems – a chance to show key construction professionals – ‘what’s in the pipeline’.

The Get Connected area will feature as part of the VIP Preview Event (on 12th June) – together with the Simulation Zone, brought to Plantworx 2023 by Plantforce Rentals, and the BIG Ideas showcase. Guests will include decision makers from key infrastructure projects, National Highways, tier one contractors and plant hire companies.

There are a limited amount of booths reamining in the Get Connected Technology Zone at a package price of £1,850 (ex VAT). Interested companies are encouraged to get in touch as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
