The theme of this year’s CES, the Consumer Technology Association’s global tech event held in Las Vegas every year, was how technology is addressing the world’s biggest challenges — and there were plenty of solutions designed to help the construction industry meet efficiency, cost and sustainability goals.
“You will not find two industries that have a larger impact on our world, and all of us, than agriculture and construction,” John Deere CEO John May said during a keynote address opening the show, and the heavy equipment manufacturer followed through with the unveiling of the first piece of construction equipment it has ever showcased at CES.
