1 RFID for improved logistics in the construction industry. Eilif Hjelseth Project manager, Standards Norway Sectretary of ISO/TC 59/SC13 Educational coordintor building SMART Member of IFD Library Group Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth Standards Norway building SMART IFD library Group Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

2 What is buildingsmart? 800 members around the world. Regional Alliances Australasia Benelux buildingsmart Alliance (North America) China French speaking Alliance German speaking Alliance Iberian Alliance Italia Japan Korea Nordic Singapore United Kingdom & Ireland An international organisation promoting dynamic and seamless exchange of information along the supply chain in the building industry and in FM. A member organisation an architect, engineer or contra a building owner or operator, a product manufacturer, a research or academic instituti a government agency, a representative body or technic association, a software vendor. Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth ISO/TC205 WG3 Meeting November in Kyoto 3 BIM / IFC / IFD / IDM Interoperability through open standards Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

3 This presentation is not about RFID technology not about BIM, IFC, IFC but about the combination with focus on logistics Keyword -> Flow.. Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth Where is the construction industry? Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

4 A day at work. 50 % work 17 % movement, break 33 % seek, sorting, moving, covering, wait, load & unload, controll Swedich magazin Byggchefen, March 2010 but isn t movement, moving and seeking is hard work Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth The cost of a plaster board The plasterboard itself 40% Consequential cost 60 % Swedich magazin Byggchefen, March 2010 Logistics have focus on consequetional cost Project calculation have only cost + X factor Average ROI is about 5% for large construction companies Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

5 The construction industry Higly defragmented Project oriented Cost focus, squize price Need for impovement of logistics Conservative / changes take time, if they occur So please, stop talking about changing the industry with something all have to buy and use together all time Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth The construction company Often very specialiced Prosess oriented / Product skilled Net income Logistics in focus (as tacit knowledge) Flexible and collaborative, changes easily from prosject to project So, why not change companies who are in change? - The entrepreneurs of entrepreneurs! Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

6 A construction industry in in change Information take a increasing part - administration staff increase in ratio to production staff New dicipline: Contruction Information Industry More complex constructions and processes Long list of demands and documentation: energy, accessabilit, environment, cost, safety, time, security Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth "RFID technology is a promising technology for the construction industry that can be integrated into systems that can track materials, identify vehicles, and assist with cost controls. *) This was in 1995 said at a conference and in the meantime and especially in the last 2-3 years development of the RFID technology has escalated in industries with a huge potential in logistics and supply chain management. *) Source: 'Radio-Frequency Identification Applications in Construction Industry' - Edward J.

7 Thinking about RFID I do think RFID have high potetial I do see many obstacles for use of RFID I do see few obstacles for use of RFID I do think RFID have low potetial Source: Source: Møyligheter med RFID i byggproduktion, FoU Vest rapport 0901, ISSN Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth RFID Roadmap for Construction Source: RFID in Constuction, Final report, Erabuild, 2006 Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

8 SWOT for company Strengths (S) Weaknesses (W) Information available (often at production/supplier level) Supplier's delivery control Inventory (real-time) management at jobsites Product-ID as a tool to link progress of construction Lack of organised value chain operations Lack of transparency in supply chain No uniform coding procedures (unique item identifier for construction items) Source: RFID in Constuction, Final report, Erabuild, 2006 Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth SWOT for a company Opportunities (O) Threats (T) Demand for productivity and profitability Lean Construction tools Extended use of data (decentralised info) Demand for quality control Facilities management Improved worksite security/ reduction of shrinkage/ theft Missing coherence between digital systems Missing standardised processes/data handling Insufficient implementation efforts Source: RFID in Constuction, Final report, Erabuild, 2006 Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

10 The Window of opertunity BIM + RFID Interoperability of information about virtual it objects physical objects in real time and with high degree of automatic Technology is present BIM / RFID (IFD / EPC) Demands for improvement is present $ Systems for flow is present Logistic what is missing? Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth INFORMATION We do have data (a lot of product data) We do have knowledge (a lot of tacit knowledge) but be do not have INFORMATION who is relevant and interoperatible at technical, semantic and orgnzational level at the same time and place The lack of I in BIM paradox! Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

11 The Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth Suggestions to improvements Common relevant information Standards for terminology and content in objects is not present (Yet) - We have some on building parts - Large generic - We have a large series of discription standards Detail oriented. -- Standards are used for procurement >static, and not production > dynamic Standards d Norway plan to develop a standard d for BIM objects: Focus: Terminology, classification, mandatory content of information, mapping to other systems ++ Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth

12 Suggestions to improvements Ordering of information Information must be treated like construction materials, with ecological perspective => re-use and low use of recourses Possible ISO projects: The series of IDM (ISO 29481), Information Delivery Manuals should be developed parts for specification on project level Possible buildingsmart projects: Develop IDMs Module of information for specified use, e.g. energy or environmental calculations / analysis Standards Norway - Eilif Hjelseth Questions?
