This paper conducts a literature review of all papers based on the authors' knowledge that discuss at least two of the three topics, and identifies common practices shared between the lean, DfMA and dfab.Two practices –design to target value and concurrent engineering –are found to be shared by all the three topics. Construction sites could not be more opposite. To realize all possible combinations it is necessary to confine oneself to few basic, parts. Data processing techniques and inter-device communication can enable cyber-physical systems to be integrated into construction workflows, where physical production processes can be closely coupled to computational processes. The industry manufacturing prefabricated, by aligning production technology in order. Pictures 10,11, NCC Sweden When we review the state of the art, we find that most available equipment is inadequate. Automated building producti, level of variations with a wide range of construction parts. Sealing small cracks by using 3D printing techniques has shown promising results by achieving superior mechanical properties. With intelligent and reactive handling protocols, cyber-physical systems can also enable an entirely new set of material systems, including non-standard, anisotropic, and differentiated material systems, as well as unpredictable material systems which resist prediction by existing conservative and reductive models of analysis. With the ability to connect multiple devices, machines, robots, and users together in an interconnected system enables truly collaborative workflows. The task is not only the automation of the, also the coordination and connection of all pr, interface management.

The current situation in steel construc, follows: The building market mainly demands solutions from the, companies which fulfil the clients’ individual, rational standardisation with regard to producti, steel construction, e.g. Two steel and ten conc, on a just-in-time basis. The construction industry’s contribution to the GDP in industrialized countries is about 7-10%. Reinforc. Although most remotely operated equipment does not now comply with the three functional requirements listed, enough work has been done so that additional work can result in systems that will meet these tests. In addition, these, manufacture raw construction parts with the, conventional building sites with traditional, a high, trans-trade pre-fabrication degree are, way to diverse possibilities with the product, bots for electrical cabling operations. These additional costs have to be recovered from faster return of investment, Service robot systems and humanoid construction robots.
