Application Plan of Low-Power Wide-Area Internet of Things Technologies in Prefabricated Building Construction
Publication: ICCREM 2020: Intelligent Construction and Sustainable Buildings
ABSTRACT
Internet of Things (IoT) is a popular technology. Based on low-power wide-area IoT, long-range, low power consumption data transmission (LoRa) technology, and narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology have been involved in rich applications and multiple research fields such as agricultural and environmental monitoring, etc. so far both at home and abroad. They play a vital role in the field of engineering monitoring. In prefabricated building projects, introducing NB-IoT and LoRa technologies into prefabricated building construction solves the technical problems of traditional networks, such as small coverage, high power consumption, and inconsistent information transmission during the construction process. This paper compares LoRa and NB-IoT in terms of technical characteristics and systems. The comprehensive implementation plan involving the two technologies is elaborated, which is of great significance for timely and accurate digital intelligent management. It also gives a guarantee of high construction quality, efficiency, and improvement in the overall construction management level of the prefabricated building industry in China.
