Abstract
Digitalization in construction logistics ensures greater efficiency.
The starting point of the journey is Bruno Latour’s concept: “On not joining the dots” [1] - or as we claim “on finally joining the dots” - according to which everything tangible and intangible is connected. And connecting the disciplines through data-driven logistics is what this session is all about.
If the key to success is to eliminate redundancies and duplications and to overcome the boundaries within the entire value chain, which in turn means linking all available information and making it universally accessible to determine the most efficient production process - then smart logistics is that key. Data-driven logistics creates a model-based production process (BIM2LOG a “digital twin”) that leverages the “invisible” spaces off-site, which are provided in the form of data and “materialize” on-site.
If smart logistics is the key to success on the construction site and is itself based on a smart city infrastructure, then this infrastructure is critical to the success of a project.
In this paper we will analyze two dimensions in construction logistics: the dimension of time (joining the project stages) from early planning to execution and the dimension of space (joining the construction supply chain) from a consolidation center to the very production on site.
