“…Majority of authors of analyzed works indicated that the use of positioning technologies such as Bluetooth, infrared, audible sound, and magnetic signals have yet to be studied (or reported) in the construction industry [5] and the location tracking system needs to be improved further to make them more reliable [8], which is why results presented in this article fill the existing knowledge gap on accuracy research of this technology.…”

-There exists many types of different RTLS systems that can be used in the construction sector for tracking people and assets. Previous research showed that such system can be used with success especially during the construction stage of the object. Lean Management is a methodology based on waste reduction in production processes focused on productivity improvement. This methodology is widely used in different sectors, including construction, where it can be effective and results can be visible for all interested involved parties. A goal of this paper is to present RTLS systems used for tracking construction process and with the focus on Bluetooth technology for object tracking. Authors presents the idea of using locating systems for efficiency improvement as a part of Lean Management strategies implementation on the construction site. Discussion is made in the field of construction process showing where they can be used and at what stage in introduction LM strategies RTLS system is most useful. Authors illustrate this idea with the results of the research performed with Bluetooth RTLS system used for tracking objects in the building planned for renovation.

“…Dane zebrane przez systemy typu RTLS mogą być używane nie tylko do kontroli w danej chwili, ale również do celów dalszej analizy danych, co przy próbie eliminacji niepożądanych czynności i zachowań jest bardzo pomocne (Li, Chan, Wong i Skitmore, 2016).…”

The paper presents the idea RTLS systems for use in the elimination of waste in the construction process. Systems are described in terms of value flows as useful tools in detecting non-adding value steps. The authors presented the topic in terms of formal and legal issues related to the monitoring and tracking of workers in the construction processes. Highlighted the Necessary documents, permits, notification and consent of employees are highlighted, which according to Polish law must be in order to use such systems to collect and process data about the location of staff during execution of works.

“…In fact, the research in the field focuses on developing more accurate systems. Li et al (2016) classified 7 most frequent real-time positioning systems as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Global Positioning System (GPS), Ultra-wideband (UWB), Vision Analysis, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Ultrasound, and Infrared (IR). For example, a system developed by Song and Wang (2011) was named as Space Annotator.…”

ABSTRACT:Today technological developments in the Architecture Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry provides opportunities to build huge and complex buildings and facilities. In order to operate these facilities and to meet the requirements of the occupants and also to manage energy, waste and to keep all facility services operational, several Facility Management (FM) solutions were developed. This paper starts by presenting a state of art review of research related to Indoor Facility Management Systems. Later, a textual analysis focused to identify the research trends in this field is presented in the paper. The result of the literature review and textual analysis indicates that current research in Indoor FM Systems is underestimating the role of Geoinformation, Geoinformation models and systems.
