Intelliwave Technologies Releases SiteSense® Integration with InEight® Field Execution Management, Planning Module

Intelliwave Technologies, a global leader in providing digital solutions for construction materials management and tracking is proud to announce a strategic partnership with InEight, a leading provider of construction project management software.

Intelliwave Technologies was formed in 2007 to provide new solutions in the construction industry to help increase "Time on Tools" for craft labor and improve site safety. The result was the creation of a revolutionary web and mobile-based software solution in one encompassing brand, SiteSense.

This advanced integration between SiteSense and InEight allows construction professionals real-time access to materials management and workface planning data from SiteSense combined with work plans and constraint management data from the InEight Plan module to make more informed decisions about upcoming scheduled activities and constraint analysis.

Through this strategic partnership with InEight, the SiteSense integration adds valuable insights and functionality to create a connected ecosystem for our mutual customers allowing for
  • Reduction of administration costs by 10%
  • Craft labor productivity improvement by up to 16%
  • Reduction in material bulk purchases by up to 40%

"Working closely with the InEight team and their open project management platform, we were able to provide a deep integration between SiteSense and InEight to fully digitize planning and execution for our shared construction customers,We look forward to providing InEight users with accurate real-time materials management and asset data from SiteSense that will ultimately allow project teams to make better-informed decisions throughout the project's lifecycle."

-Dale Beard, CEO of Intelliwave.

The integration includes two major benefits for SiteSense and InEight customers, keeping their field and office workflows connected in a single ecosystem:

Connect Engineering to Procurement and Inventory: Work Plan material components from Construction Work Packages (CWPs) and Installation Work Packages (IWPs) in the InEight Plan module sync to SiteSense to create a Material Needs Document. SiteSense Users can forecast material component availability and anaylze upcoming constraints by comparing scheduled installation dates against current inventory availability and procurement activities in SiteSense. Connecting these data sets together allows users to proactively solve constraints through procurement, expediting and vendor communication activities.

Work Packaging Constraint Analysis: InEight Plan users can view available inventory quantities from a Work Plan by navigating to the Workspace tab to see the available quantity populated by SiteSense data. Inventory transactions in SiteSense such as Receiving Reports, Issue Tickets and Stock Adjustments update the available quantity to assist in updating the available quantity to identify color coded constraints to assist with planning activities. InEight Plan users can also view detailed inventory information through a direct hyperlink to the work plan component in SiteSense.

"With our open, integrated and secure construction management platform, InEight is enabling leading partners to create integrations that accelerate the digital transformation of capital construction projects,The integration between InEight and SiteSense solves a massive challenge for companies looking to digitalize work planning and procurement processes, ensuring easy access to materials requirements and availability data."

-Brad Barth, Chief Product Officer at InEight.

SPX FLOW Launches Universal 2 ND Pump Series Designed Uniquely for Industrial Market

PR Newswire | January 29, 2024

SPX FLOW, has released the Universal® 2 ND Positive Displacement Pump (U2 ND) Series designed with industrial users in mind. The pumps offer the quality and durability the Waukesha Cherry-Burrell brand is known for while optimizing cost and suitability for the industrial market. The U2 ND series significantly expands the WCB pump range, aimed at enhancing reliability and performance across industrial applications while outperforming other pump styles, such as industrial lobe, gear or progressive cavity pumps.The design features improvements uniquely suited for industrial applications, including: Total cost of ownership: The pumps ensure a long running life, given their robust construction materials and designs tailored for each application. Because of its high volumetric efficiency, the pumps can be used to dose fluids, eliminating the need for an additional metering pump.  Efficiency: The U2 ND pump reduces slip, which occurs when fluids move backward from the liquid flow due to internal clearances. Lower slip means more efficiency, reducing the need for higher horsepower motors. Also, the series can process fluids over longer spans due to its high-pressure capability, which reduces the need for multiple pumps in these applications. Reliability: WCB is a proven and trusted global brand dating back to the 1880s. The pumps are made with durable, corrosive-resistant materials compatible with industrial environments. A robust design, equipped with industrial flanges or sanitary fittings, ensures manufacturers can choose the configuration to meet their needs.  Additionally, an extensive sales channel and domestic manufacturing footprint support this pump series, enabling quick deliveries on standardized parts across the entire Universal pump product line. The U2 ND series is complemented by the Universal Industrial 5000 series, which is tailored for users who require OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) seals for their industrial pumping operations. Julien Bassett, Pumps Global Product Manager: "Waukesha Cherry-Burrell has extensive experience offering pumps to customers built with their needs in mind. We wanted to expand our offerings to provide quality and durability of the SPX FLOW brand while catering to the unique needs of industrial manufacturers and their applications."
