Enabling intelligent jobsites: advancing the integration of construction 4.0 devices within the connected jobsite

Abstract: Technological advancements of Construction 4.0 are enabling the construction industry to become safer, more efficient, and higher quality. Industrial production, cyber-physical systems, and computing technologies are a few technologies being integrated to enable intelligent jobsites. Connectivity and real-time data integration are essential for these technologies to work properly. Unfortunately, the current dynamic and chaotic environment of the construction jobsite presents less than ideal conditions for the successful implementation and operation of these enabling technologies. The aim of this paper is to identify the current challenges and solutions of establishing a connected jobsite, specifically focusing on the network and device integration.
