3. Submissions must be at least several paragraphs in length, and must say something worth reading!
4. You may enter as many times as you like.
5. Submissions will receive a varying number of “entries” (i.e. tickets in the hat), based on length and quality – varying from 1 entry (a very short “snippet” of an article) to 10 entries (a top quality, page or greater article or review).
6. Submissions can be made via email to asmither@eberlysystems.com, or via the blog directly at www.eberlysystems.com/blog (for this method, create a user and then email asmither@eberlysystems.com with your username to request permission to post).
7. Don’t have anything to write about? Well, then READ – and leave a few thoughts or observations about someone else’s article! For the first time, Commenters (who leave QUALITY comments, not just spam) will be given 1 to 3 tickets per comment, based on (you guessed it) the quality and length of their comment!

Drawings will be done in the following manner…
– First drawn gets first choice of available prizes
– Second drawn gets second choice of available prizes – etc, etc…

IMPORTANT! Your article may NOT be posted immediately! Our goal this contest is to offer a steady stream of articles throughout the month – so to start, we will post every few days – if we have a high volume of submissions, we may post 1 per day – but it all depends on how many we receive, so SUBMIT!

Technology in Construction & Manufacturing: Why It’s More Than Just Device Management

January 20, 2026

Modern construction and manufacturing sites are no longer just about heavy machinery; they’re digital ecosystems. Tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and mobile apps are now essential for everything from blueprint access to production monitoring. These tools enable real-time collaboration, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. But when your workforce is spread across remote job sites or large facilities, keeping these systems connected and secure becomes a challenge. Construction Blueprint & Plan Access: Crews use tablets to view updated plans on-site, reducing errors and rework. Safety & Compliance Reporting: Mobile apps allow instant incident reporting and safety checks. Equipment Tracking: IoT sensors monitor heavy machinery usage and maintenance needs. Manufacturing Production Line Monitoring: Tablets and IoT devices track throughput and detect anomalies. Quality Control: Mobile devices capture and share inspection data in real time. Inventory Management: Connected devices streamline material tracking and reduce downtime. These tools keep projects moving, but only if they’re secure, updated, and accessible anywhere. Why Remote Access Is Critical Construction sites and manufacturing plants often operate in remote or rugged environments. Workers need secure, reliable access to company systems, whether they’re in the field, on the shop floor, or traveling between sites. Without proper management, connectivity issues and security gaps can lead to delays, data breaches, and compliance failures.
