Construction objects recognition in framework of CPS

Abstract

Recent breakthroughs in BIM and ADC technologies promise innovative solutions to bridge the information gaps between the digital models and real construction site. These solutions promote the collaboration between digital, spatial and physical construction. Cyber-physical systems offer a tight integration between real physical and virtual “cyber” models. This collaborative approach supports the digital transformation in construction domain. A cyber-physical framework is proposed to provide consistent relationships and allow bidirectional data flow. In the framework the recognition of objects successes by linking physical objects to the digital product models using RFID. Next, these objects are equipped with global positions data and pinned to semantic and functional enrichment construction places. The results are objects at a level of “smartness” with enhanced digital capabilities and the ability of context-awareness. The cyber-physical objects are embedded in the process models in order to support tracking activities and facilitate process monitoring and control close to real-time.
