Digital monitoring and modeling of construction supply chain management scheme with BIM and GIS: An overview

Abstract

For a decade the construction industry has been on its all-time low in productivity due to its lack of adaptability to the digitization of society. In comparison, the manufacturing and production industries have been able to successfully integrate computer applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT) into their processes. As a result, their economic progression has received a significant uplift. Digitization and automation in the construction industry is a relatively young sector with a lot of opportunities for research and innovation. An excellent instrument for surveying resources and operations is a digital environment for monitoring the construction supply chain management framework (CSCM). For infrastructure projects, building information modeling and geographic information systems are strongly encouraged for improved productivity and better coordination. The convergence of BIM and GIS creates a complete digital representation of the physical environment. BIM may be used to produce, manage, and exchange operational data of building structures, whereas GIS could be used to handle the logistic aspect of the construction project and store, organize, and analyze data representing the horizontally spread urban environment. As a result, the unified utilization of BIM and GIS is crucial in Urban Sustainability applications that require data from both facilities and the urban environment. Because BIM has only been around for around ten years, and combined BIM and GIS applications have only been around for an even shorter time, there is no solid framework on the latter for individuals who are just getting started with BIM and GIS in Civil Engineering. Review and analysis of previous works are required to have a better grasp of the current condition and future direction of the budding discipline. This article reviews the visual flow of a model prepared in which BIM is used for initial construction operations, In addition, GIS is incorporated in the present model to allow for a wide spectrum of geographical analysis in the CSCM's logistics perspective (storage of goods and transit).
