eGate and Cramo Partner to Optimize Construction Job Sites with Remote IOT Data

Ylöjärvi, Finland, October 15th, 2024– eGate Smart Building Innovation Oy (eGate), a leading provider of cloud-connected condition monitoring solutions today announced a partnership with Cramo Group, a subsidiary of Boels Rental, one of the leading construction equipment rental companies in Europe. The agreement includes mutual exclusivity, with Boels holding exclusive distribution rights for eGate in Europe and eGate becoming a strong partner for condition monitoring solutions.

Cramo Finland, has already been using eGate data services in over 1000 job sites since 2018. “We are thrilled to join forces with Cramo,” says Jarkko Haukijärvi, CEO of eGate. “Together, we can optimize construction sites by delivering a comprehensive suite of the latest wireless IoT solutions that replaces time-consuming manual inspection methods.”

The eGate solution, developed in collaboration with Cramo, offers contractors real-time visibility into job site conditions. This enables them to take proactive measures to optimize operations and keep project schedules on track. One of its most innovative features is eGate's ePredict, a concrete drying time forecasting tool. By utilizing real-time data from sensors embedded within the concrete, ePredict removes the guesswork from one of the construction industry's biggest challenges—accurately predicting the drying time of freshly poured concrete, a critical factor that influences the entire project timeline.

“Beyond simply renting equipment, Cramo empowers contractors with valuable services and optimization expertise. eGate is therefore a great fit for our customers who are striving to adopt new data-driven digital solutions for additional efficiency,” says Mr. Tuomas Myllynen, Managing Director, Cramo Finland. “eGate’s combination of remote sensor data and analytics, together with our digital solutions for customers and our own experts in the area enables us to deliver project optimization services from one centralized cloud-based platform.”

eGate adds professional and accurate solutions that complement the services from Cramo, including real-time data and alerts on job site temperature, humidity, concrete moisture and strength, air quality, dust particles, and other critical environmental factors. Data is visualized and reports are generated through Boels/Cramo SmartControl cloud solution. Overall, this partnership elevates construction site optimization to a new level and helps contractors to build safer, more efficient, and sustainable projects.
