ZALA has unveiled digital solutions for the construction industry
ZALA was the main sponsor of the conference «Construction Management. Current Practices», which brought together leading market players. One of the key themes of the event was the digital transformation of the industry, with experts discussing practical solutions, project management, and legal risks in the implementation of large investment and construction projects. The application of AI solutions sparked a lively discussion. Participants emphasised that today this is a mandatory condition for the successful implementation of large-scale facilities. The creation of a unified digital ecosystem, automation of construction control, data management, and the role of artificial intelligence were discussed.
Sergey Lyustarnov, Project Manager at ZALA, presented case studies on aerial monitoring of construction and transport infrastructure using ZALA’s aircraft-based UAVs. Using examples from healthcare facilities and Russian Railways projects, he demonstrated how the use of big data enables a shift from piecemeal monitoring to managing the entire lifecycle of a facility. Particular emphasis was placed on the integration of data into the unified ZALA 4Z1 geoinformation system, which eliminates human error and reporting distortions.
Commenting on the inadequacy of traditional control methods and the consequences of the absence of objective monitoring, Ljúshternov outlined the company's key operating principles:
«The days of piecemeal photo reports from quadcopters are over. True efficiency means a system based on an aerial UAV covering hundreds of kilometres of infrastructure in a single flight, whilst the client receives not just a „pretty picture“, but objective data on the process: displacements, heat loss, and the dynamics of changes. In construction and transport, we are solving the problem of «blind spots» and providing a tool that allows you to see the situation in real time and make lightning-fast decisions based on neural network analysis, rather than subjective reports from the field,» emphasised a representative of ZALA.
