Interoperability requirements for automated manufacturing systems in construction

Structural performance of additive manufactured metallic material and cross-sections

“…Contour crafting, which utilises a cement-based paste against a trowel can be used to produce a 200 m 2 single-storey building within a day [50,51], concrete printing involves extrusion of cement mortar [9] and the D-shape process involves 115 producing a material similar to sandstone by combining adhesives and a sand-like material [6,9,50,52]. In 2014 construction started on the 3D Print Canal House in Amsterdam, Netherlands which is an additive manufactured house made by joining individual plastic blocks [50,53].…”

Wearables and Wellness for the Young Elderly - Transforming Everyday Lives?

“…The benefits of the so-called "Internet of Things" (IoT) technologies include reduced down time, increased quality and less waste as well as greater visibility of the manufacturing floor. This connectivity enables companies to leverage the value of their plant floor information and promises an increase in productivity, improved utilization of assets, and better decision-making (Bradley, 2015 have resulted in higher maturity of product and process models (Tibaut et al, 2016), companies still face the task of building coherent services when the individual components are technically different and managed by different units.…”

Three-dimensional printing in the construction industry: A review

“…Once a part is complete, it is dug out of the loose powder bed (Lim 2012) (Figure 4). This automated building system, which uses sand and binder to create stone-like freeform structures, enables the constructions of full-size sandstone buildings without human intervention (Tibaut & Rebolj 2014).…”
