A Case Study: Conception of digitalizing prefabrication processes in the construction industry

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

During the last few years, the importance of prefabrication and its digitalization has grown significantly in the construction industry. In this context, a German construction company intended to extend an existing warehouse application into a system that additionally monitors production time to identify the bottleneck. In this case study, a concept of digitalizing the prefabrication was proposed with the components of hardware, middleware and software. In terms of hardware components, an RFID system was tested in the production plant and a feasibility study of a Bluetooth system was done. In the software concept, a new framework was designed and implemented with new functions, e.g. introducing a resolver layer to reduce controller workload. Based on this concept, the company is able to utilize data from both production and warehouse.
