A framework for offsite construction manufacturing process improvement through digitalization and automated real-time data collection
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis proposes methods to apply real-time data to improve manufacturing operations in offsite construction using a combination of tools such as simulation, machine learning, and exploratory data analysis. These methods are applied to increase flexibility in operations and digitalize the...

Automating Off-Site Construction: Integrating BIM and Industrial Robotics through the RoboSimX Framework for Smart Manufacturing
DownloadFall 2024
Off-site construction (OSC) has been slow to adopt automation and digitization, particularly since OSC requires manufacturing flexibility due to a need for diverse product designs in dynamic environments. While automation is crucial for OSC operations, integrating digital technologies with design...

Digital Twin for Production Estimation, Scheduling and Real-Time Monitoring in Offsite Construction
DownloadFall 2023
The offsite construction industry continues to rely on experience-based average production rates (i.e., average quantity per unit of time) to estimate and schedule production operations. This approach is hindered by various sources of production variability, such as machine breakdowns and...

Residential construction manufacturing estimating framework: the case of lightweight timber framing
DownloadFall 2020
The term industrialized construction was adopted by the offsite construction industry where the building components are prefabricated in factories and then transported to the construction site for on-site assembly. With this shift towards industrialized construction, new challenges were...
