Automation in construction through application of bluetooth low energy for indoor monitoring of construction projects in Gujarat, India
摘要
The inherent complexity of the construction industry often impedes safety and productivity. Real-time project monitoring plays a pivotal role in improving both aspects. While Global Positioning Systems (GPS) facilitate outdoor monitoring, indoor monitoring on construction sites presents challenges. Nevertheless, the latest technologies make indoor monitoring feasible, with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology emerging as a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution compared to contemporary technologies. The study aims to develop an indoor monitoring system for construction projects in Gujarat, India, utilising BLE gateways and beacons with Navigine (online software). The implemented prototype covers
