The Standings to be updated soon

AndrewSmither

Hey everyone, we want to apologize for not updating the standings for over a week. We have seen an unprecedented activity on our blog contest. Blog Contest 11.11 is truly the biggest contest we have ever done. Prizes, ways to earn entries, and the number of participants are all bigger than before. In the Bloggers category we now have 6 bloggers battling it out for first, second, and third place. In the Promoters category we have 10 promoters spreading the word on Facebook and building activity on the blog through comments. There will also be a first, second, and third place for the Promoters category as well. Remember, your entries will earn you “tickets” into the “hat.” Each category or tier has its own set of prizes to be won. However, those who finish in first, second, and third in their respective groups are GUARANTEED a prize 🙂 Also, if you have not heard, the new MW3 game has been added to the prizes!

Next week is Thanksgiving and we realize that will be a busy week for many. Lets keep this contest rolling. We haven’t seen many people take advantage of recruiting Facebook Likes and there has also been a lack of sharing blog posts directly from our Facebook Page recently. We know the Facebook part of the contest is new, so we just wanted to remind everyone. Continue to help spread the word and lets finish this contest strong!

Standings will be updated soon. We have been very behind due to high volume of traffic for the contest, as well as clients on the business side of Eberly Systems. For those that did not get the link the first time around, please see the original Standings post on our blog here: /blog/2011/11/heres-the-standings/

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.
