“…These highlighted researches along with other researches have changed the definition of scheduling in the construction sector in recent years. Meža et al (2015) stated in their study that for monitoring and tracking the construction project, AR on tablet PC or mobile is the best option than other 3D models or Gantt chart. They also pointed out that AR has been able to represent that it is possible to visualize and estimate the work this is performed on site in accordance with the proposed schedule of the process.…”

Abstract Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), a kingdom-of-the-art technology for superimposing information onto the real world, have recently started to have an effect on our everyday lives. In addition, AR and VR have shown a great contribution to advanced construction management in recent years. However, a comprehensive critical review of AR and VR technologies in construction management is absent in the literature. This study provides a comprehensive review of a summary of using potential opportunities of AR and VR to solve a variety of construction management issues effectively and efficiently. This study found that AR is successfully used in construction project scheduling, progress tracking, worker training, safety management, time and cost management, and quality and defects management. VR is effectively used as a visualization tool, worker training technology, safety management tool, and quality and defects management tool. In addition, AR and VR are used for developing a network that allows the possibility of having conferences with those who are geographically far off from each other or the construction site. This study could help to explore the potential fields of using AR and VR technologies in the construction industry effectively as advance time- and cost-saving profitable tools.

“…It is possible to show as-planned and as-built project and visualize the construction progress (Zollmann, 2014). In addition, AR can facilitate the understanding of project documentation, construction progress through 3D visualization of models on site (Meža et al, 2015). In the AR4C application, AR technology enables users to interact with 3D building model and embedded information in the model.…”

The construction industry is still lagging behind other industries in adopting new technologies for monitoring of performance and progress of construction works. In other industries like production or automotive such processes are already partly or fully automated. To improve effectiveness of construction scheduling and quality of works, this research proposes a BIMbased augmented reality application for site managers so-called AR4C. This application is combining Location-Based Management System and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to visualize in Augmented Reality key information related to progress and performance of construction works superimposed on the real world. This paper describes methodologies and technologies implemented in the AR4C application to control effectively construction works.

“…Affordable technology, such as mobile phones can already be used for 3D scanning and AR-applications. Some researchers (Meža et al 2015) also see the potential of, such things as AR applications, but they are sceptical as to the possibility of replacing the conventional product information presentation techniques. Concerning virtual assembly simulations, (Chryssolouris et al 2000) state that despite the time technical level and realism of VE, its feasibility and usefulness was demonstrated, especially when taking into account human involvement, in the process.…”

“…Recent industrial applications of AR include, for instance, collaborative product design and development (Shen et al 2010), design reviews (Verlinden et al 2009), development and planning of complex production processes and systems (Dangelmaier et al 2005) and architectural and Construction Site Visualization (Woodward and Hakkarainen 2011). AR helps the understanding of project documentation (Meža et al 2015) and enables graphical highlighting of an interesting phenomenon already in the design phase, thus, determining problems and risks, sooner (Tuma et al 2014).…”

Global trends of ecology and sustainable development, safety awareness, changing legislation, and urbanization, together with the economic situation, force industry to find solutions for extending product lifecycles, while maintaining and improving machine system performance and other properties during the lifecycles. Together with these societal issues, firms are struggling with competitiveness. This chapter introduces the new Use-it-Wisely (UIW) approach to upgrading rock crushers at customer sites. The higher level problem needing to be solved concerned making upgrade delivery projects profitable and more desirable for customers, manufacturing OEMs and suppliers. The main recognized and treated bottlenecks were related to knowing the actual status of the upgrade target, communication and collaboration with stakeholders, verification and validation of upgrade specifications and an efficient information flow between the stakeholders. Augmented reality (AR), Virtual environments (VE), camera based 3D scanning, and cloud based solutions are the selected pieces of technology for solving the bottlenecks. They enable better communication, collaboration and involvement of all stakeholders, including customers, internal stakeholders, suppliers and partners. They also better enable the planning and discussing of service quality activities. Product life-cycle management (PLM) is the framework for developing and managing product related information, processes and collaboration expanding towards product middle-of-life, end-of-life, and service lifecycle management. This study is a proof-of-concept that demonstrates the potential of contributions to business model innovations and game changes for upgrading business.
