TRACKING OF BUILT COMPONENTS BY USING ID TAGS

摘要

An apparatus for tracking a plurality of built components is provided. The apparatus comprises a reading gate configured to identify at least one fabricated building component arrived at the point of entry of the building site by reading an ID tag of each fabricated building component arrived at the point of entry of the building site and by associating the ID tag with a number imprinted on each fabricated building component. The reading gate is configured to record the timing of arrival of the identified fabricated building component at the point of entry of the building site.

主权项

1. A method of tracking a plurality of built components of a building comprising:
(A) selecting a building component from a structural Building Information Model to be fabricated; selecting a number from a range of numbers; associating said selected number with said selected building component; and sending said selected number and a fabrication recipe associated with said selected building component for each building component to a fabrication facility to initiate a fabrication process; and (B) fabricating each said building component based on said structural Building Information Model of said building by using said fabrication recipe for each said building component; imprinting each said selected number on one said associated building component; attaching an ID tag to each said building component having said imprinted selected number; wherein said selected number imprinted on said associated building component and said attached ID tag comprises a pairing data for each said building component; and time stamping a timing of completion of fabrication of each said fabricated component.
