RFID and Wireless Sensors for Building Industry

Abstract

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID), and smart sensing tagging, is used in different industries to track products and objects. This technology has significantly developed and reduced in price over the last years. The improvements include increased flexibility, the introduction of common standards, the advent of read/write chips and global reader capability.The building industry has shown interest for a number of applications and the potential appears to be very wide, particularly in conjunction with the industrialisation of building sector. To date, work has been carried out into the use of RFID in quality control, logistics tracking, system or component build, reduction of waste, and asset management.
