In this short video, Perry Forsythe, Professor of Construction Management at the University of Technology Sydney, talks about how the advantages of prefabricated timber systems in construction are being given a boost by radio-frequency identification (RFID) tracking technology.
FWPA-supported research has involved testing the value proposition associated with attaching small, computerised tags to timber construction elements manufactured off-site, to improve processes on-site.
On the benefits of the technology, Professor Forsythe said: “Productivity, that’s the bottom line. You can get more done in a shorter time. Less process waste, less waiting around, less inspecting time, less confusion and improved workflow.”
