Radio frequency identification implementation model for sustainable development: A structural equation modeling approach

Abstract

Sustainability concepts are adopted via new technologies to achieve the highest gains without compromising the projects' objectives. One of these technologies is radio frequency identification (RFID). This research investigated the influence of various drivers and benefits of RFID implementation on the achievement of sustainable construction projects. A close‐ended questionnaire detailing the necessary variables were administered to relevant construction professionals in the study area. Results of exploratory factor analysis of the data revealed that the drivers of RFID could be grouped into three primary constructs: technology, industry, and culture. However, the benefits of implementing RFID have two primary constructs: resources and environment. This study employed a partial least square structural equation modeling to further evaluate the connections among drivers and the application of RFID in the building industry. Results indicated that implementing RFID in the building industry will aid the sustainability of construction projects. The findings of this study will assist policy makers concerned with the performance and sustainability of construction projects through the adoption of available technologies including RFID.

Agricultural machinery automatic navigation technology

“…This method can improve the operation efficiency of agricultural machinery, reduce the operation cost, and save the operation time. In the information management of agricultural products, the planting information and sales price of agricultural products are input through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), 9 quick response code, and other technologies. Implementing precise QR code recognition on the internet not only facilitates centralized management of agricultural product information for farmers but also helps consumers quickly purchase safe and reliable agricultural products, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of agricultural products.…”

Identifying and assessing modular construction implementation barriers in developing nations for sustainable building development

“…However, despite the increasing urbanisation worldwide, the housing sector has failed to meet the demand (Adabre & Chan, 2019). Consequently, the increasing global population has become a hindrance to low-income individuals' ability to purchase housing, posing a problem in both emerging and affluent nations (Oke et al, 2022). According to estimates, around 828 million impoverished people are living in inadequate housing and slums in emerging nations (Gan et al, 2017).…”
