Cyber-Physical Systems-Based Component Tracking and Operation
The proliferation of technology in the architecture, engineering and construction industry has triggered a paradigm shift towards the exploration of automated approaches to tracking and operating construction components. Emerging technologies have also provided opportunities for increased monitoring and control of these components by enabling mechanisms for tightly integrating physical construction components with their corresponding virtual representations. This has implications for real-time consistency checking between virtual models and the physical construction/constructed facility so that changes in one environment are automatically reflected in the other. This is termed component-based cyber-physical systems approach. To illustrate the potential of component-based cyber-physical systems, this chapter presents five scenarios. The scenarios illustrate how component-based cyber-physical systems approach can be used to enhance the steel erection process, tracking and documentation of as-built of architectural and engineered components, tracking and control of bulk components during a facility lifecycle, and site layout management. A system architecture that illustrates the key technologies and sub-systems needed for facilitating component-based cyber-physical systems is presented. In conclusion, the authors present challenges and perceived barriers to the uptake of component-based cyber-physical systems in the construction industry.
