“…This review, though we are not claiming it to be exhaustive, has provided an overview of Industry 4.0 concept in construction industry in the last five years. The selected papers revealed the active collaboration between BIM with technologies from Industry 4.0 (Figure 7), such as the use of BIM to support design decisions for mass customization production [54], structural health monitoring (SHM) using open BIM [43], allowing schedule monitoring in real time [50], smart steel bridge construction enabled by BIM and IoT [51], and a digital platform that uses augmented reality (AR) combined with BIM to provide workers with relevant information in real-time [58]. However, the pattern of topics discussed are broad and conceptual.…”

“…Management in the Industry 4.0 era with BIM as its core has slowly been revolutionized, as shown by higher performance and good quality in construction practices. The targeted papers have demonstrated the successful implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies by achieving real-time project management [49], smart technology management [51], smart indoor navigation management [47], creating a digital twin for facility management [53], road construction management [50], as well as mass-customization of design management [54]. With the clear distribution of managerial framework for the integration of BIM and Industry 4.0, the construction industry is able to capture the benefits from BIM and Industry 4.0 from a management perspective and is expected to develop and deploy more technologies to enhance productivity.…”

Industry 4.0 for the Construction Industry—How Ready Is the Industry?

Technology and innovations have fueled the evolution of Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 encourages growth and development through its efficiency capacity, as documented in the literature. The growth of the construction industry is a subset of the universal set of the gross domestic product value; thus, Industry 4.0 has a spillover effect on the engineering and construction industry. In this study, we aimed to map the state of Industry 4.0 in the construction industry, to identify its key areas, and evaluate and interpret the available evidence. We focused our literature search on Web of Science and Scopus between January 2015 and May 2019. The search was dependent on the following keywords: “Industry 4.0” OR “Industrial revolution 4.0” AND TOPIC: “construction” OR “building”. From the 82 papers found, 20 full-length papers were included in this review. Results from the targeted papers were split into three clusters: technology, security, and management. With building information modelling (BIM) as the core in the cyber-physical system, the cyber-planning-physical system is able to accommodate BIM functionalities to improve construction lifecycle. This collaboration and autonomous synchronization system are able to automate the design and construction processes, and improve the ability of handling substantial amounts of heterogeneity-laden data. Industry 4.0 is expected to augment both the quality and productivity of construction and attract domestic and foreign investors.

“…An early high‐level version of this SoS framework has been presented previously, but is now more mature and is here extended with many details. Also, a part of this work that deals with information representation has been published elsewhere and in more detail, whereas it is in this paper only summarized as part of an architecture description.…”

The development of system‐of‐systems (SoS) requires a continuous interplay between design decisions on the SoS level and those on the level of its constituent systems (CS), which often preexist and need to be adapted as the SoS evolves. This involves not only preparing the CS to participate in a particular SoS, but also designing the CS architecture to make it easily adaptable to a future SoS context. The problem is in part addressed in an emerging SoS framework in the manufacturing domain called Industry 4.0. It focuses on connected and digitalized production with the ambition of increasing flexibility and efficiency. This paper investigates how Industry 4.0 standards can be used in an SoS context to make CS more flexible and adaptive, and evaluates their usefulness outside manufacturing. The study is based on a case from the construction domain, for which a generic SoS architecture is developed. Several extensions and adaptations of Industry 4.0 are suggested, including specifications of ontologies for missions and workflows.

“…As a basis for communication [6], I4.0 points to using an existing and well-established standard that is the OPC UA [20], which primarily uses a service-oriented architecture based on client/server communication, having received in February 2008 an extension that permit and publish-Subscribe messages [6] using brokers such as AMQP, thus ensuring interoperability between system [24]. Connectivity and OPC UA walk together in the search for I4.0, justifying the use of this technology.…”

Eventually the industrial automation engineer is challenged to optimize a M2M communication process. For this, it is essential to observe the infrastructure offered by the company and the resources available in legacy equipment. Developing a simple, economically viable solution that makes use of open communication standards is highly recommended. Alternatives that do not require large investments gain a significant dimension; another important factor in this decision is that the chosen solution should be able to operate harmoniously with existing legacy systems. By doing so, the company will be in a position to gradually pursue the Industry 4.0 concept and to preserve the most investments already made. This paper aims to describe OPC UA technology, test it in a controlled environment in order to meet a real production demand and justify how and why its differentiated characteristics are recommended for Industry 4.0 applications.
