In this volume, concepts, technologies and developments in the field of building-component manufacturing - based on concrete, brick, wood and steel as building materials and on large-scale prefabrication, delivering complex, customized components and products - are introduced and discussed. Robotic industrialization refers to the transformation of parts and low-level components into higher-level components, modules and finally building systems by highly mechanized, automated, or robot-supported industrial settings in structured off-site environments. Components and modules are open building systems (in modular building product structures) that are delivered by suppliers to original equipment manufacturers such as, for example, large-scale prefabrication companies or automated/robotic on-site factories. In particular, innovative large-scale prefabrication companies have altered the building structures, manufacturing processes, and organizational structures significantly to be able to assemble in their factories high-level components and modules from Tier-1 suppliers into customized buildings by heavily utilizing robotic technology in combination with automated logistics and production lines.

Robotic Industrialization

The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics discuss progress in robot systems theory and demonstrate their integration using real systematic applications and projections for offsite as well as onsite building production. The series is intended to give professionals, researchers, lecturers, and students conceptual and technical skills and implementation strategies to manage, research or teach the implementation of advanced automation and robot-technology-based processes in construction. Robot-Oriented Design introduces the design, innovation and management methodologies that are key to the realization and implementation of the advanced concepts and technologies presented in the subsequent volumes. This book describes the efficient deployment of advanced construction and building technology. It is concerned with the coadaptation of construction products, processes, organization and management, and with automated/robotic technology, so that the implementation of modern technology becomes easier and more efficient. It is also concerned with technology and innovation management methodologies and the generation of life cycle-oriented views related to the use of advanced technologies in construction.

Robot Oriented Design

Combining architectural theory with the latest trends in manufacturing technology, this volume shows how Single-Task Construction Robots (STCRs) can improve productivity in the construction industry. It presents two hundred types of STCRs and includes numerous real-world case studies, making it an excellent resource for professional engineers and researchers.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Informatik - Wirtschaftsinformatik, Note: 1,0, Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften Würzburg-Schweinfurt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die im privaten Bereich weit verbreiteten Sozialen Medien ergeben auch für Unternehmen ein erhebliches Potential. Besonders die Art und Weise der Kommunikation wird durch Soziale Medien grundsätzlich verändert. In einem agilen Projektumfeld liegt der Fokus auf Flexibilität und einer iterativen Vorgehensweise. Dadurch werden eine bessere Performance, ein höherer Innovationsgrad, sowie ein gesteigerter Mehrwert für den Kunden trotz weniger Management-Aufwand angestrebt. Allerdings erfordert dies zwangsläufig einen höheren Kommunikationsbedarf, wodurch Enterprise Social Software im agilen Projektumfeld besonders an Bedeutung gewinnt. In der Masterarbeit werden, im Rahmen eines Laborexperiments mit 24 Masterstudenten, der Einsatz und die Auswirkungen von Enterprise Social Software im agilen Projektumfeld untersucht. Zum einen wird hierbei eine Hypothese in Bezug auf die Kommunikationseffizienz sowohl aufgestellt als auch überprüft und zum anderen ein Etablierungskonzept für die Praxis erarbeitet.
