A panel of experts in autonomous and digital technology discusses the use of IoT sensors in construction, manufacturing, logistics, and technology to create smart assets that generate data. The experts discuss the application of robotics in construction projects, the evolution of IoT, and its application in the construction industry, and the use of data to optimize operations.

Dr. Martin Fischer stresses the need for developing a framework to make managerial decisions on integrating robots in construction projects, highlighting the need for improving human-robot collaboration. Ravi Roopreddy discusses the shift in focus towards creating a continuous digital twin of supplier networks, transportation modes, and routes using construction information modeling.

The experts emphasize the importance of IoT in real-time data acquisition, analysis, and the application of data science to make predictions and detect anomalies. James E. Craig discusses Chevron’s efforts in using data to optimize its operations, including the use of operational data to inform designs and support its digital twin approach.

Chevron uses a tool to collect data, generate projection schedules, and make better decisions during project execution. The company has built a huge library of standard processes and is working on integrating its processes with the bill of processes concept used by Ford in its vehicle design.
