case study
simultaneously and collaboratively.
Rubicon purchased the I&E Kiosk stand
which allows for the use of more delicate
machinery in a rough environment. The
kiosks need to withstand the extreme
temperatures and rugged conditions
encountered on active job sites. For
software, the kiosk is running the
PlanGrid construction productivity app
secured with KioWare Lite for Windows
kiosk system software for lockdown and
security of the kiosk.
Todd McCall discussed their ‘super
tablet’ with the PlanGrid team: “We’ve
created a new device on our projects
to bring the whole team together – a
portable and durable project team
hub that any of our internal or external
project teammates can use. The
idea behind the device is to connect
everyone on the team from the project
engineers and the property manager
to our superintendents and all our
subcontractors. In addition to accessing
PlanGrid, it can easily access the current
status of documents and inspections
20 KIOSK solutions
from the City of Tampa Permitting
Department (Florida, US.). With the
touch of a button, you can access other
convenient functions such as a virtual
sketch pad if you’re trying to illustrate
something.”
Collaborative working
With this portable kiosk, teams can
easily open a drawing and pour over
its details together. Secured with the
KioWare kiosk lockdown app, the R.O.K.
is reliable, secure, and readily available
for team members. Without KioWare
kiosk system software, the device would
be a nightmare to maintain and it would
be difficult to regulate and restrict
usage. KioWare prohibits every function
other than what the Rubicon team has
configured to allow.
Having a kiosk on-site with up-to-
date blueprints and documents reduces
the time it takes to make sure that
information is distributed appropriately
and that the documents being reviewed
are the most current.
