Integration and I4.0 Tracking Systems for Steel Manufacturing Industry
Industry 4.0 technologies have revolutionized manufacturing industries in many domains. Although the construction industry still lags behind other industries in terms of digitization and automation, disruptive I4.0 technologies, are gradually transforming the traditional nature of this industry. Internet of Things or IoT, associated with tracking technologies, can improve automation through real time capturing, accessing, tracking, and sharing information; which ultimately leads to more decentralized decision-makings. While these technologies can help improve project performance metrics, their impacts on project integration is still unknown. In this paper, we aimed to understand the impact of the propose IoT tracking system, on integration in terms of (a) horizontal, (b) end-to-end digital, and (c) vertical integrations. To achieve this goal, we conducted a case study on digital transformation of a steel fabrication plant in Quebec, Canada. We developed a smart steel manufacturing IoT-based architecture and proposed an automated identification tracking method for tracking steel products. Finally, we implemented the proposed system in a case study, and discussed its impact on three levels of integration in construction projects.
