Book Adoption and Implementation of Digital Twin in the Construction Industry

Download or read book Adoption and Implementation of Digital Twin in the Construction Industry written by Bijesh Kumar Gautam and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction industry has evolved from a period of hand-drafted drawings to Building Information Modeling (BIM). However, in current practice, disjointed single-purpose tools created to improve communication do not fully solve information management challenges leading to suboptimal building performance in the industry. Therefore, industries are embracing a new generation of interconnected, multi-functional technologies like Digital Twin to digitally transform themselves and move beyond the margin of 3D visualization capabilities of BIM to actual production, operation, and management of building facilities. Now we can see that the leading construction industries are giving priority to implementing Digital Twin in their companies. Almost half of the major industrial companies were predicted to use Digital Twin technology by 2021, achieving a 10% enhancement in their efficiency. In 2018, the market for global Digital Twin was valued to be USD $3.2 billion and is predicted to reach USD $29.1 billion by 2025. One of the prominent global research and advisory firms Gartner listed Digital Twin in the top ten list of emerging technology trends in 2019. Also, the Digital Twin market is predicted to grow around ten times in 2025 reaching USD $27.06 billion then back in 2017 of USD $2.26 billion by Grand View Research Forecasts. These predictions indicate that there will be milestone progress in the adoption and implementation of Digital Twins in the construction industry. Despite its high potential, the majority of people in the construction industry are still confused about the concept of Digital Twin technology. They are not sure what Digital Twin technology is, how it is implemented, what Digital Twin tools need to be used, and what challenges and benefits they have by having a Digital Twin system. Hence to have an in-depth idea of the Digital Twin adoption and implementation in the construction industry, this research is conducted with the aim to answer the above questions. The research is conducted with a comprehensive literature review supported by an exploratory survey and follow-up interviews. Based on the research results, we can conclude that there is still confusion about the concept of Digital Twin in the construction Industry. The construction industry has started its journey towards digitalization but still, there are lots of things that need to be done. For example, having standard and concise data or making more collaborative environments with common data platforms can help us to implement the Digital Twin in the construction industry. Also, it requires the organizational readiness to accept changes and advancements in the industry. Overall, this research shows that the construction industry is now ready for some changes, and that change can be Digital Twin.

Download or read book Construction 4 0 written by Anil Sawhney and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-06 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modelled on the concept of Industry 4.0, the idea of Construction 4.0 is based on a confluence of trends and technologies that promise to reshape the way built environment assets are designed, constructed, and operated. With the pervasive use of Building Information Modelling (BIM), lean principles, digital technologies, and offsite construction, the industry is at the cusp of this transformation. The critical challenge is the fragmented state of teaching, research, and professional practice in the built environment sector. This handbook aims to overcome this fragmentation by describing Construction 4.0 in the context of its current state, emerging trends and technologies, and the people and process issues that surround the coming transformation. Construction 4.0 is a framework that is a confluence and convergence of the following broad themes discussed in this book: Industrial production (prefabrication, 3D printing and assembly, offsite manufacture) Cyber-physical systems (actuators, sensors, IoT, robots, cobots, drones) Digital and computing technologies (BIM, video and laser scanning, AI and cloud computing, big data and data analytics, reality capture, Blockchain, simulation, augmented reality, data standards and interoperability, and vertical and horizontal integration) The aim of this handbook is to describe the Construction 4.0 framework and consequently highlight the resultant processes and practices that allow us to plan, design, deliver, and operate built environment assets more effectively and efficiently by focusing on the physical-to-digital transformation and then digital-to-physical transformation. This book is essential reading for all built environment and AEC stakeholders who need to get to grips with the technological transformations currently shaping their industry, research, and teaching.
