Utilizing industry 4.0 on the construction site : challenges and opportunities

In recent years a step change has been seen in the rate of adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies by manufacturers and industrial organisations alike. This paper discusses the current state of the art in the adoption of industry 4.0 technologies within the construction industry. Increasing complexity in onsite construction projects coupled with the need for higher productivity is leading to increased interest in the potential use of industry 4.0 technologies. This paper discusses the relevance of the following key industry 4.0 technologies to construction: data analytics and artificial intelligence; robotics and automation; buildings information management; sensors and wearables; digital twin and industrial connectivity. Industrial connectivity is a key aspect as it ensures that all Industry 4.0 technologies are interconnected allowing the full benefits to be realized. This paper also presents a research agenda for the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies within the construction sector; a three-phase use of intelligent assets from the point of manufacture up to after build and a four staged R&D process for the implementation of smart wearables in a digital enhanced construction site

Productivity of construction project after IR4.0 Norms

Industrial revolution 4.0is a transformation from industrialization to digitalization. Digitalization in construction industry will ease the communication between different industry. Digitization of construction industry had speed up due to the restricted movement of country. Most of the company productivity became low as the construction project is stop due to the movement control order. Thus, most of the company will start to digitalize. This research will determine the technology that can be used in construction industry after IR4.0. The most significant advantages of digitalization in the construction industry are time savings in project execution, increased performance, increased speed of work, improved document quality, faster response time, and streamlined working methods. Among the technology are big data, Artificial intelligent, Building information modelling and Virtual reality
