RFID and CCTV-Based Material Delivery Monitoring for Cable-Stayed Bridge Construction

This paper takes a longitudinal view of literature to explain the current period as disruptive technology drives an evolutionary adaptation of the construction industry in a historical socio-technological process. The authors argue the way Internet of Things (IoT) solutions are conceived as singularly focused "point solutions" undermine future opportunities. An evolutionary view is overlooked because extant literature describes technology in a particular epoch. An ecosystem perspective needs to influence IT strategy as an emerging "digital layer" transcends a smart city and continues to function long after a traditional construction project completes. We describe innovation as a succession of transformational waves in an evolutionary process that is currently manifesting as "Industry 4.0" and changing expectations for the construction industry. The paper concludes by listing emerging trends and warns existing UK construction companies must understand the transformational process they are in and learn how to adapt with a stronger drive for R&D.

“…Research gaps can be identified that previous studies regarding the use of tracking technologies for SCM have mainly been focused on certain stages of the project lifecycle. Single tracking technology was first tested for improving SCM performance, such as barcodes [3,10], radio frequency identification (RFID) [11][12][13], global positioning systems (GPS) [14][15][16], ultra-wide band (UWB) [17][18][19], and wireless sensor networks (WSN) [20,21]. Then, integrated tracking solutions were developed to allow for efficient SCM on a construction site [22] and a storage yard of a prefabricated plant [23].…”

A Coordinated Approach for Supply-Chain Tracking in the Liquefied Natural Gas Industry

With the increased size and complexity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, supply-chain management has become a challenging process due to involvements of the remote location of the project site and the multiple stakeholders. The transparency and traceability of the supply-chain are critical as any surpluses or shortages of materials will put the project at risk. Currently, limited research has been conducted on LNG projects considering the total supply-chain perspective, which refers to all stages of materials tracking in off-site manufacturing, transportation, and site logistics. The purpose of this research is to propose a framework of a coordinated approach for supply-chain tracking in the LNG industry. Two focus group studies were organized to develop the proposed framework: One for LNG construction supply chain process development, and another for alternative tracking technologies selection. In addition, two experiments, namely off-site fabrication tracking and site logistics tracking, were conducted in a field to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed framework. Technology limitations were also discussed in terms of field implementation.

“…Thorough studies on workers' daily activities indicate that material delivery is a very significant factor hindering improvements in workflow and productivity (Vrijhoef and Koskela 2000;Abdul Kadir et al 2005). Misplaced materials and components threaten structural stability, require rework, lead to safety issues, cause delays, and increase costs (Ju et al 2011). Moreover, material piles can limit worker mobility and cause delays in the delivery of the project.…”
