Digitalization of Logistics Processes on Construction Sites - Concept for the Creation and Use of a Digital Shadow for Construction Site Logistics in Mechanical and Plant Engineering

Abstract

In order to enable intelligent process control in the context of Industry 4.0, data must be collected and initially made available from a central point of access, such as project management. This is possible with the help of a digital shadow, which creates a digital data repository for a situation and all its activities. Logistics processes especially stand to benefit from such data collection, as information regarding needs and resources is essential in order to conduct processes efficiently.
