Major Factors in Robotization of Construction Operations
نویسنده
چکیده
Robotization and automation of a construction process requires engineering approaches different from those that are applicable in factory automation. Construction site differs from industrial plant in scale of operation, mobility, type of processes and the work environment. A greater intelligence, load, and force range Is needed for a construction robot. The main reasons for using robots in construction operations are: to improve safety of workers and eliminate dangerous operations; to increase productivity; and to improve final quality. This paper presents a systematic approach to study the feasibility of robotics in construction operations . A knowledge-based expert system is introduced which al lows the contractors to perform preliminary study for the automation . The model can be used as a guideline in evaluating potential construction operations for the automation. CAD & ROBOTICS IN ARCHITECTURE & CONSTRUCTION 471

Identification and Assessment of Key Political Risk Factors Influencing Corporate Performance of International Construction Companies in North- Eastern (NE), Nigeria
International construction companies have settled in Africa and especially Nigeria, to compete for infrastructural projects, in a bid to extend their services across their borders. The trans-border extension of the services offered by these international multi-nationals exposes them to the political risk factors pertinent with the host country. In order to survive the harsh realities of the po...
متن کاملAn integrated simulation-DEA approach to multi-criteria ranking of scenarios for execution of operations in a construction project
The purpose of this study is to examine different scenarios for implementing operations in the pre-construction phase of a project, based on several competing criteria with different importance levels in order to achieve a more efficient execution plan. This paper presents a new framework that integrates discrete event simulation (DES) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) to rank different scena...
متن کاملEvaluation of Project Critical Success Factors for Key Construction Players and Objectives
Critical Success Factors (CSFs) are used to support and evaluate the success of a strategic and tactical approach in project implementation in order to increase the probability of success. This system is used by executors in project delivery to achieve improved performance capabilities with limited resources. The present paper aims to identify the impact of CSFs amongst the main elements involv...
متن کاملDiscrete Event Simulation Method as a Tool for Improvement of Manufacturing Systems
The problem of production flow in manufacturing systems is analyzed. The machines can be operated by workers or by robots, since breakdowns and human factors destabilize the production processes that robots are preferred to perform. The problem is how to determine the real difference in work efficiency between humans and robots. We present an analysis of the production efficiency and reliabilit...
