The paper documents some of the results of the research program Smart Yard: Industry 4.0 Production Process aimed at reducing inefficiencies in construction site procedures by developing new management methods supported by digitisation processes that can memorise and monitor computational data and guide them towards specific purposes of production processes optimisation. In particular, the aim of the study is to propose evolved, highly efficient and innovative organisational and information management models that enable more reliable control of processes in the construction sector, mitigating unavoidable uncertainties while pursuing a more rational use of resources. The products developed to support the programme include two newly designed pieces of equipment with advanced functions, which can be configured as examples of site management systems such as a “smart factory” in the logic of Industry 4.0, illustrated below. One is a high-performance charging system for power banks to be used with portable power tools, while the other concerns a work standing desk that employs wireless communication protocols to dialogue with other devices at the construction site.

The paper describes the development of the prototype of an electronic instrument1 to be used on board work- site vehicles that operate on rough and uneven land with potholes and dips, with the aim of conducting a dynamic check of the rollover risk determined by exceeding the threshold limit of the amplitude of the angle formed by the gravitational vector with the instantaneous normal angle defined by the points where the vehicle wheels make contact with the ground. The product is one of the results of the Smart Yard research: Industry 4.0 Production Process2 and is a pilot example of the testing of sensors aimed at increasing safety in the use of the equipment. Il contributo illustra lo sviluppo di un prototipo di strumento elettronico da impiegare a bordo di mezzi di cantiere che operano in terreni sconnessi e impervi e in concomitanza di buche e avvalli, finalizzato alla verifica dinamica del rischio di ribaltamento determinato dal superamento della soglia limite dell’ampiezza dell’angolo formato dal vettore gravitazionale con quello normale istantaneo definito dai punti di con- tatto delle ruote del veicolo con il terreno. Il prodotto rappresenta uno dei risultati della ricerca Smart Yard: Industry 4.0 Production Process2 e si configura quale esempio pilota di sperimentazione di sensoristica volta a incrementare la sicurezza di utilizzo dei macchinari.
