Madrid-based SNGULAR Launches New Company Out of Dallas to Revolutionize Construction Management

Spanish tech company SNGULAR has launched a new business called SNGULAR ConnectedWorks out of Dallas. The new company aims to drive connected construction “via the optimization of production for construction companies with a goal of helping businesses boost productivity, efficiency, and operational improvements in their projects,”

Dallas-based CEO Borja Roig leads ConnectedWorks, which—after several years of development in collaboration with Madrid’s Ferrovial—already has “clients and traction” in countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Chile.

“We’ve been evolving the platform on-site for some time now, and the feedback from clients, together with the differentiating values of our product, have driven us to create SNGULAR ConnectedWorks, a company focused on innovation and sustainability in the construction industry,” Roig said in a statement. “We’re conﬁdent that we can extend this innovation to other industries with new use cases in the near future.”

Launching with investment of more than $6.5M

With an initial investment of more than $6.5 million that will continue over the next three years, ConnectedWorks said it offers a platform that provides real-time updated information to identify bottlenecks, incidents, or idle machinery, facilitating an effective response to reduce downtime and optimize equipment use.

The company said the solution proposed by ConnectedWorks is the result of close collaboration between SNGULAR and Ferrovial, a leading global infrastructure company. The company said that strategic alliance has allowed Sngular to combine its technological expertise with Ferrovial’s deep understanding of the industry’s needs and challenges.

Features and benefits

ConnectedWorks said that at the core of this project is a powerful algorithm responsible for extracting information from the entire production cycle.

Leveraging advanced data analysis techniques, including artiﬁcial intelligence, the platform presents the information through an intuitive web application, allowing site managers to monitor vehicle performance in real-time and obtain predictions about potential incidents or bottlenecks, the company said. That eliminates the need for manual tracking tasks and provides a proactive decision-making tool, ConnectedWorks said.

SNGULAR said that another key feature of ConnectedWorks is its quick and easy installation and conﬁguration that allows companies to begin optimizing their operations within hours. The platform already has been implemented in more than a dozen large-scale construction projects involving signiﬁcant earthworks such as road and railway construction.

The company said that sustainability is a fundamental pillar of ConnectedWorks, which not only optimizes operations, which translates into a considerable reduction in CO2 emissions, but also incorporates functionalities for monitoring material unloading and controlling truck speed, contributing to environmental protection and regulatory compliance.

‘A key competitive advantage’

“The ConnectedWorks solution has allowed us to signiﬁcantly optimize the management of our machinery, improving productivity and reducing operating costs,” said Javier Vaca de Osma, director of technology and processes at Ferrovial’s construction unit.

Javier Lázaro, director of the Digital Hub at Ferrovial, said: “The real-time information and the ability to identify bottlenecks have given us a key competitive advantage. ConnectedWorks offers incredible accuracy, which is surprising considering it requires no installation effort.”

Ferrovial is one of the world’s leading infrastructure companies and operates in more than 15 countries with a workforce of more than 24,000 worldwide.

SNGULAR says it drives the modernization and advancement of business and organizations across different industries. Its team of over 1,300 professionals specializes in areas such as software development, artiﬁcial intelligence, big data, cloud solutions, and cybersecurity, among others.
