In this episode of the STO Building Group’s Innovation Expo Series, host Rob Leon sits down with Ellen Giuntini, Founder and CEO of Otto Tech Systems, to discuss how the Otto Smart Ladder System is helping improve jobsite safety—from real-time alerts and digital inspections to data-driven insights.

In an industry long defined by fragmented
workflows and legacy tools, the push toward smarter, more connected construction management has gained real momentum. STO Building Group is leveraging a number of tools to make that connectivity better—including Outbuild, a platform designed to modernize scheduling and planning by bringing every stakeholder into a single, collaborative environment.

In this episode of Building Conversations, Lisa Dunmeyer, Tech Ops Project Manager at STO Building Group, is joined by Neil Ascione, President of RC Andersen; Josh Enger, Senior Superintendent at BCCI; and Franco Giaquinto, Founder and CEO of Outbuild, to discuss how Outbuild is transforming construction scheduling through real-time collaboration between office and field teams.

STOBG’s Innovation team is constantly partnering with change-makers who are helping advance the way we build. STOBG’s chief innovation officer, Rob Leon, recently interviewed one of those visionaries: Sarah Buchner, CEO of Trunk Tools, a business that was founded out of real construction practice and is now at the forefront of AI for construction. In their conversation, Buchner describes how a deadly moment on the jobsite, a PhD, and a love for problem-solving translated into solutions that are revolutionizing project execution behind the scenes.

Following a 20-week pilot program with Structure Tone, Otto Tech Systems will release their SmartLadder system to combat a leading cause of workplace accidents: falls from ladders.
