ACQBUILT Inc., a leading panelized construction company in Canada, has been actively investing andparticipating in research projects with the University of Alberta in recent years. The principal investigator, hassuccessfully completed several research projects with ACQBUILT encompassing productivity improvements,ergonomics analysis, lean manufacturing, and applications of information technology (e.g., RFID). The RFIDproject was the first known implementation of RFID technology in panelized construction. The factory layoutand ergonomics studies are still in progress. The PI and the industry partner for this proposed project haveidentified a shortage of information and communication technology in panelized construction, as well as theneed for application of the smart factory concept to improve the overall panelized construction process. Assuch, through this project the team is seeking to gain a more comprehensive understanding of, and toimplement improvements to, current practice in panelized construction. The primary objective of this researchis to improve panelized construction operation, including both on and offsite activities, by applying SmartFactory concepts. It will encompass (1) a review of current practice and time study for logistics and on-siteassembly; (2) time study of logistics and on-site assembly; (3) collection of live data stream using barcodetechnology; (4) application of artificial intelligence in logistics decision making; (5) visualization of logisticsdata using web application; (6) application of projection-based augmented reality in panel manufacturing; and(7) development of web-based construction site logistics planning application. This project will enhanceindustry practice by providing a guideline for applying the Smart Factory concept, providing an economical andsimple intelligent construction management system, and opening of new avenues for research in offsiteconstruction. The proposed research can be expected to benefit Canada more broadly in terms of improvedefficiency in the panelized construction sector; improved housing affordability; reduced environmental impactof the construction process; and job growth in the construction manufacturing sector

ACQBUILT Inc.是加拿大一家领先的板式建筑公司，近年来一直在积极投资并参与艾伯塔大学的研究项目。这位首席研究员与ACQBUILT成功地完成了几个研究项目，涵盖了生产率提高、人体工程学分析、精益制造和信息技术(如RFID)的应用。RFID项目是已知的第一个在嵌板建筑中实施RFID技术的项目。工厂布局和人体工程学研究仍在进行中。PI和该拟议项目的行业合作伙伴发现信息和通信技术在板式施工中的不足，以及需要应用智能工厂的概念来改进整个板式施工过程。因此，通过这个项目，该小组正在寻求更全面地了解并改进目前的嵌板施工实践。这项研究的主要目标是通过应用SmartFactory的概念来改善板式施工操作，包括现场和场外活动。它将包括(1)回顾物流和现场组装的当前实践和时间研究；(2)物流和现场组装的时间研究；(3)使用条形码技术收集实时数据流；(4)人工智能在物流决策中的应用；(5)使用网络应用程序对物流数据进行可视化；(6)基于投影的增强现实在面板制造中的应用；(7)基于网络的建筑工地物流规划应用程序的开发。该项目将为智能工厂概念的应用提供指导，提供一个经济简单的智能建筑管理系统，并为非现场建设研究开辟新的途径，从而促进行业实践。预计拟议的研究将在以下方面更广泛地惠及加拿大：提高板式建筑部门的效率；改善住房负担能力；减少建筑过程对环境的影响；以及建筑制造业的就业增长。
