Digitization of Workflows in Heavy Industrial Construction Projects using Internet-of-things (IoT) Applications

The efficiency and productivity of the construction industry has been stagnant due to lack of innovations in technologies, as compared to other industries (e.g., manufacturing, etc.). The digitization of the workflows can help the construction companies to become agile and collecting process related data, which can be further used for decision making and continuous improvement purposes. The industry partner, Element 6, has a fully digitized platform Hexagon Xalt with potential to automate and digitize their workflows. In this project, the team at Universitiy of New Brunswick will help Element6 to prototype Internet-of-things (IoT) applications through the Xalt platform. This involves development of SQL databases on the Xalt platform and user interfaces to collect process related data.
