Research on the Training and Management of Industrializing Workers in Prefabricated Building with Machine Vision and Human Behaviour Modelling Based on Industry 4.0 Era

Abstract

As countries around the world pay more and more attention to the sustainable development of the construction industry, the prefabricated building model has become the best construction type to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. However, the prefabricated building entails higher technical requirements, and the workers involved in the construction must be trained to reduce the risks. For China, where the demographic dividend is gradually disappearing, how to quickly promote the industrializing workers process has become an urgent issue. This research focuses on the training and management of industrializing workers in prefabricated building. First, the facial images of the participants were collected from the actual test data, and the changes of participants’ facial expressions were analyzed through multitask convolutional neural network-Lighten Facial Expression Recognition (MTCNN-LFER). The results of the analysis were plugged into the facial expression recognition and evaluation model for industrializing workers training in this research to calculate the weights, and then all the weights were clustered through the improved SWEM-SAM method. The results show the following: (1) the values of objective data were used to judge the participating workers’ mastery of each knowledge and to evaluate whether they are qualified. (2) The evaluation results were used to analyze the risk events that may be caused by participating workers.

Research on Influencing Factors of Knowledge Transfer among Prefabricated Construction Workers

“…The industrial transformation of construction workers is urgently needed. Prefabricated construction, due to its production of several prefabricated components in a controlled environment with standardized design and mechanized manufacturing processes [1,2], is considered an effective means to achieve the industrialization of construction workers [3]. However, the widespread adoption and application of prefabricated construction also pose higher requirements for the knowledge and skills of construction workers.…”
