IoT-Driven Digital Twin Framework for the Design and Fabrication of Precast Elements

Despite the promising potential, the integration of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and digital twin (DT) technologies in precast concrete production is yet to be explored to surmount the challenges associated with their implementation. First, combining data from various IoT sensors and integrating them into DT models requires robust data management systems and interoperability between different software and hardware platforms. Also, the initial cost of implementing IoT systems and developing DT models can be excessively high, particularly for small-to-medium-sized precast companies, the widespread use of IoT in construction raises concerns about data security and the potential vulnerability of IoT-enabled systems to cyberattacks. Therefore, the primary aim of this exploratory project is to explore the integration of IoT and Digital Twin technologies into the design and fabrication of precast elements.
