Scenario: Construction Workers in a Typical Construction Company

Construction workers are engaged in various tasks such as operating machinery, handling tools, and performing manual labor that requires the use of both hands.

Problem:

These workers need to receive notifications, track time, and access project details without interrupting their work or using handheld devices, which can be impractical and disruptive.

Solution:

Implementing WristaPlanner on smartwatches offers a hands-free solution that enhances productivity and safety, and is easy to adopt without needing extensive training. By integrating WristaPlanner with Microsoft Teams Planner, workers can seamlessly manage their tasks and stay updated.

Steps:

1. Receiving Notifications and Alerts:
   • Before: Workers had to interrupt their tasks to check their phones or radios for updates, which could be time-consuming and disruptive.
   • With WristaPlanner: Notifications and alerts are delivered directly to their smartwatches, keeping them informed without interrupting their work. The wrist vibrations help capture their attention even in noisy environments.
2. Time Tracking and Attendance:
   • Before: Time tracking was often done manually or required the use of a separate device, which could be cumbersome.
   • With WristaPlanner: Workers can easily log their hours and breaks using their smartwatches, ensuring accurate and efficient time tracking.
3. Accessing Project Details:
   • Before: Accessing project plans or instructions required workers to refer to paper documents or handheld devices, which could be impractical on site.
   • With WristaPlanner: Workers can easily access project details as interactive checklists on their smartwatches' touch screens. This allows them to view and complete tasks efficiently while keeping their hands free for their work.
4. Safety and Emergency Alerts:
   • Before: Safety alerts and emergency notifications were communicated via loudspeakers or handheld devices, which were not always effective.
   • With WristaPlanner: Immediate safety alerts and emergency notifications can be sent directly to workers' smartwatches, ensuring they receive important information promptly.
5. Integration with Microsoft Teams Planner:
   
   • Task Management: Workers can view and manage their tasks directly from their smartwatches, thanks to the integration with Microsoft Teams Planner
   • Real-Time Updates: Any changes or updates made in Teams Planner are instantly reflected on the smartwatches, ensuring workers are always up-to-date.
