New research finds contractors are most concerned with maintaining a safe construction site (66%), attracting and retaining skilled labour (57%) and maximising productivity (52%).

The survey identifies how the construction industry is tapping into technology to help plan, build and maintain assets in the built environment.

But numbers show that the industry is not addressing two of its top three concerns. Less than half of those focused on attracting and retaining skilled labour adopt software to meet this need, and only 40.5% of respondents use construction software to maximise field productivity. Instead, software is mostly selected for its ability to impact financial, scheduling, and reputational needs.

The ProPlex FOH Friend, a new and unique addition to TMB’s award-winning ProPlex Data Distribution product range, will be introduced at Winter NAMM 2020.

Designed by professionals, for professionals, the FOH Friend is an entirely new, unique device which resolves the following everyday issue frequently faced by media, lighting and audio programmers:  During rehearsals, while busy programming to tracks saved on their laptops, programmers often need to switch over to the primary “live” feeds from the stage.  Absent the FOH Friend, this requires unplugging and plugging of cables, with all the associated inconvenience and potential malfunctions.  The FOH Friend elegantly solves this problem by allowing instant switching between two timecode and two audio sources!  This durable, compact unit also features extra timecode outputs, plus independently adjustable headphone and audio outputs.  A great help during programming and rehearsals, this one-of-a-kind device really is a Front of House Friend!
