We study the RFID network system in a construction site, and study the connection method between the RFID network system and the integrated information system of construction material. Moreover, we developed a prototype of the construction site RFID server for the management of construction materials and performed the pilot application in a construction site. Through the pilot application, it was known that the proposed RFID network system can be more usefully applied in the construction sites. The results of the pilot application show that the RFID network system is faster, more accurate, and more reliable than the existing system of information management and achieves improvement in construction productivity.

We proposed a goods load simulator for optimum RFID distribution, which includes experiment process modeling guidelines for stable RFID scan rate, efficient cost-reduction of RFID application or even speedy management of RFID field. We show verification of this simulator using field test of distribution, and the proposed simulator has better performance than the classic method, and demonstrate the proposed is efficient method of draw up guidelines on RFID distribution.

While the trend of all industries recently lies in combination, construction industry is much interested in enhancing efficiency and competitiveness in the aspect of site control by adopting RFID. Though RFID has been applied to diverse areas thus far, it cannot be easily applied to construction industry due to diverse physical, chemical and use-environmental properties of construction materials. Furthermore, it is rarely applied to the site because of many problems in its application. It is required to prepare RFID code issuance and system that can systematically control the code as well as to research the standardization of frequency, specification, protocol, package method, recognition method, etc in order to apply RFID to construction industry. In this research, RFID code issuance and management program are proposed as a part of program research to apply RFID. Furthermore, the restricted matters of existing RFID tag are drawn to produce pilot product of RFID tag that can solve it so as to perform site application test. According to the experiment, effective recognition distance varies depending on material/environmental property and control efficiency changes depending on attachment method and application method. Thus, preparing diverse restrictive factors and solutions by systematically analyzing control method(medium, process) of current architecture materials and applying it to construction site can be the way to successfully apply RFID.

In these days, RFID adoption in supply chain management system needs technically part of the performance improvement of RFID Anti-Collision technology. We contrived new scanning algorithm that improve RFID Anti Collision performance, also can be applied to existing RFID readers. In this paper, the proposed algorithm were applied to the actual logistics scene recognition performance much better than the existing practices are presented. For improve of RFID Anti Collision performance, our algorithm implemented in the middleware associated with RFID PDA readers, and actually mount the RFID inventory data from the experiment were accumulated. Through this experiment, the proposed algorithm was confirmed that helps to minimize unaware area of the existing RFID inventory system and significantly improves performance of RFID field solution.

In the last decades, the resource used in the construction process has become much more various in kinds and increased in number as construction has become enlargement and complexity. Resource management on a construction site has been recognized as a detrimental factor to influence project success, therefore various technologies have been applied by the construction industry to streamline resource management. RFID/USN interworking system composed of RFID technology and sensor network supports automation of resource management and real-time information networking. Most of research efforts for RFID technology in the construction industry have been limited to object identification technology. The study proposed herein it to verify the applicability of RFID/USN interworking system to the construction industry. The identification rates of RFID/USN interworking system by distance and degree and by type of materials was identified and analyzed.

The radio frequency identification (RFID) technology allows various forms of applications in many industries including construction. and in Korea, RFID has already been adopted for the use in daily labor control, logistics monitoring of ready-mix concrete, supply chain management of long-lead items, such as structural steel members and curtain walls. Even though RFID tags have varied reading performances depending on various factors including material of tracking target and surrounding environment, there is no information on how much the reading performance of an RFID tag can be achieved against a specific construction components or materials. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify the actual reading performance of various RFID technologies and to derive a method to maximize the reading performance for the use in the supply chain management process of curtain wall components.

The objects of this study are to increase the efficiency and competitiveness for construction management and field supervision by using IT technology which is a trend of construction industry thesedays. Using RFID technology can play an important role to achieve the goal, but it is necessary to research a standard of using frequency, specific, protocol, package method and reading method because it is hard to apply RFID to physical, chemical, environmental specifics. In this study as a part of planning research to standardize, a limitation item Is conducted with RFID tag attached building materials, and RFID Tag goods which solve the restriction are produced to conduct a field application test. From the result, available reading distance is different according to physical and environmental specifics. Furthermore because the different application method and attaching method make a various management efficiency, the current management of construction materials is analyzed and applied to a construction field to provide to various limitation items and recovery plan.

Barcode system has been used for many years in labors controlling & ready mixed concrete supplement in A/E/C industry However, it was not quite successful because ot its limitations in the field. The use of RFID system is getting important in the real world. RFID system substituted for barcode system in labor controling & ready mixed concrete supplement and it showed its potentialities in other major materials supply logistics and its possibilities In progress management of 4D system. This research shows RFID system's case study and its future directions in A/E/C industry.

This research is about the development of RFID education system which is designed for experience use to understand concepts and characteristics of RFID not in the industry but in the education field. We implemented the RFID education system on the basis of the design which is focused to induce the participation and interests of trainees. We applied technologies such as RFID tag reader, database, image processing, visual program and web program for this system. Also, we applied the system in the education field and checked an education quality from trainees. Thus, we expect that this study is a framework of RFID education system and is used widely for basic education of understanding and utilization of RFID in the educational institutions and industries.
