“…To address the idea of "integration", the search title, abstract and keyword must include the words "BIM" and "IoT" concurrently. The selection of synonyms and hyponyms of "BIM" and "IoT" refers to the previous studies (Zhang et al, 2015b, Čolaković and Hadžialić, 2018, Dallasega et al, 2018, Wang et al, 2018, Tang et al, 2019. The search was limited to peer-reviewed journal articles in English.…”

“…Explosion protection of IoT devices should be considered in special projects, such as liquefied natural gas projects and petroleum projects. For example, UWB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth have not been certified in an explosive environment [46]. In the existing literature, only a few studies tested the robustness of their BIM-IoT systems [23,28,[47][48][49][50].…”

As two essential components of Industry 4.0 in the construction industry, building information modelling (BIM) and the Internet of things (IoT) tend to be integrated. Research in the field has increased significantly in recent years, yet previous reviews on this field are limited, and a review study with both quantitative and qualitative analysis of BIM-IoT integration remains wanting. Thus, this review paper investigates 107 peer-reviewed journal articles in the field of BIM-IoT integration using mixed scientometric-content analysis. The findings reveal that the research in this field is promising, and collaboration has achieved well-recognised outcomes, while more collaborations are expected. Besides, the analysis reveals that the research is evolving from traditional construction themes, such as safety, energy efficiency and thermal comfort, to evolutionary concepts, such as digitalisation, Industry 4.0, digital twin, and smart cities. Finally, five research opportunities are outlined, including reliability and robustness, interoperability, integration with other emerging technologies, security and privacy, and reluctance from the construction industry. This review is the first attempt to conduct a scientometric analysis of the research of BIM-IoT integration. The findings provide directions for future research.

“…Xu et al (2018) found that using a BIM cloud-based system can decrease time waste through reducing waiting time for delivery and order picking. Wang et al (2018) studied using material tracking technologies (e.g., RFID and Bluetooth technologies) to improve the logistics processes of construction infrastructure projects which shows that material tracking technologies can increase the accuracy of the information in the construction site inventory. Accordingly, the site's inventory management is improved by decreasing search-times and material transshipments (ibid).…”

This thesis investigates the adoption of digital technologies to improve logistics processes in construction projects. The focus is on the main contractor firms and construction projects, but first-tier suppliers, transportation firms, and technology vendors are also considered. The logistics processes that are studied are order-to-delivery processes and onsite logistics. Order-to-delivery processes and on-site logistics play a critical role in ensuring the availability of goods for the construction process, in the right amount and time, at the right location, and without damage.Inefficient logistics processes that do not support construction projects with the right resources (materials, tools, and machinery) are one reason for low construction project performance. Inefficient logistics processes cause disruptions to construction projects, such as material stockouts, material surpluses, unavailability, idle waiting and searching time, and waste (e.g., damages). On a larger scale, inefficient logistics processes cause significant project delays and cost overruns. Therefore, improving logistics processes can improve construction project performance.To address the inefficiencies of logistics processes, main contractor firms face increased pressure to adopt digital technologies. It is known that adopting digital technologies can improve communication between project stakeholders, construction automation, and data acquisition, visualization, and analytics. The adoption of digital technologies has also been reported to improve the construction process, such as design, production, logistics, and procurement of materials and services. However, the adoption of digital technologies is a complex and inter-organizational process, and the industry's decentralized, project-driven nature makes many efforts ad hoc and one-of-a-kind endeavors. Moreover, there needs to be more clarity in the path of digital technology adoption for increasing construction project performance. A knowledge gap in this context has been a lack of actionable recommendations to practitioners, such as main contractor firms.Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to formulate recommendations for the adoption of digital technologies that enable the main contractor firms to improve logistics processes. Based on this, the following research questions guide the research: RQ1: What are the drivers and barriers for the adoption of digital technologies at the project level from a main contractor perspective? RQ2: What are the effects on logistics processes when adopting digital technologies in construction projects? iv RQ3: What are the lessons learnt from the adoption of digital technologies in construction projects?The findings identify drivers and barriers to adopting digital technologies at the project level from a main contractor perspective, the effects of adopting digital technologies, and lessons learnt from adopting digital technologies in construction projects. Furthermore, a successful technology adoption process is driven by identifying the drivers a...

“…In this regard, RFID-based traceability solutions are commonly preferred for indoor location identification due to a number of advantages: (a) RFID supports no-line-of-sight between the tag and the reader; (b) greater read range than barcodes; (c) RFID tags have large memory to store product’s information; and (d) it supports multiple readings simultaneously. However, RFID passive tags show slow efficiency when reading the tags in the presence of certain materials (e.g., liquid material or metals) that negatively influenced the radio wave propagation back to the reader [ 32 ]; in such cases, barcoding approaches could be more suitable. Furthermore, other technologies like the global positioning system (GPS), wireless sensor networks (WSN) and IoT can support traceability tasks at different stages of supply chains.…”

The rise of digitalization, sensory devices, cloud computing and internet of things (IoT) technologies enables the design of novel digital product lifecycle management (DPLM) applications for use cases such as manufacturing and delivery of digital products. The verification of the accomplishment/violations of agreements defined in digital contracts is a key task in digital business transactions. However, this verification represents a challenge when validating both the integrity of digital product content and the transactions performed during multiple stages of the DPLM. This paper presents a traceability method for DPLM based on the integration of online and offline verification mechanisms based on blockchain and fingerprinting, respectively. A blockchain lifecycle registration model is used for organizations to register the exchange of digital products in the cloud with partners and/or consumers throughout the DPLM stages as well as to verify the accomplishment of agreements at each DPLM stage. The fingerprinting scheme is used for offline verification of digital product integrity and to register the DPLM logs within digital products, which is useful in either dispute or violation of agreements scenarios. We built a DPLM service prototype based on this method, which was implemented as a cloud computing service. A case study based on the DPLM of audios was conducted to evaluate this prototype. The experimental evaluation revealed the ability of this method to be applied to DPLM in real scenarios in an efficient manner.
