Abstract

Since approximately 2005 the Chair of Construction Management & Economics of the Bergische University of Wuppertal deals with the application of modern technologies and methods, f. e. the RFID technology in connection with the method of the Building Information Modeling. In this connection a comprehensive draft with the aim of the digitization of the supply chain was developed within the scope of a huge number of research projects. On this occasion, the data delivered from the planning process are complemented with the real data grasped by the AutoID technology, as f. e. logistics and implementation or decrease data during the execution of construction, servicing and rebuilding data during the building use up to building back construction. These data are linked with the building data models by means of the method BIM. The results of the research and the added value for everybody in the construction sector are united within a demonstration module and a video. For two years this demonstration module was presented to the public in Germany to provide the suitable knowledge in the construction sector for all partners. These projects and the demonstration module should be discussed in the contribution paper which is meant as an introduction to an exemplary application which has found its relation to practice. In the practical example a company in Germany reorganised its whole contractor’s yard. The system is used according to demand as a rent station, material shop, spare parts store, key and document management or as a meeting demand order system.
