RFID Technology in Construction Project Management – A Review

Abstract: Increasing demands for speed and efficiency in the face of greater complexity of modern construction projects have given rise to the need for proactive and dynamic management of resources. Safety and environment are added to traditional success criteria such as cost, quality, and time. This requires project managers to make better decision to align materials, labour, and machinery based on the information available. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one such system that is widely used in supply chain management. The RFID technology is a means of gathering data about a certain item without the need of touching or seeing the data carrier, through the use of inductive coupling or electromagnetic waves. RFID is used to automatically identify people, objects, and animals using short range radio technology to communicate digital information between a stationary location (reader) and a movable object (tag). Use of RFID has improved Real-time traceability and visibility capability at the upstream and increased efficiency and quality of supply chain operations, especially towards the downstream (e.g. distribution, wholesale, and retail), in manufacturing business.
