Abstract

The integration of automation technologies has improved the efficiency of industrialised construction (IC), yet a deeper understanding of their effects on the manufacturing and assembly stages remains necessary. This paper provides a systematic review of how various automation technologies influence these key stages in IC, analysing 53 articles. It explores the deployment of 22 technologies, including the Internet of Things (IoT), deep learning, digital twins, and robotics, and identifies seven benefits for IC: (1) interoperability, (2) scheduling optimisation, (3) production traceability, (4) production safety, (5) manufacturability, (6) quality assurance, and (7) constructability. To further advance automation in IC, future research should address critical challenges, including enhancing data quality, expanding empirical testing, exploring emerging technologies in depth, and integrating fragmented workflows. This article underscores the need of strategic technology deployment to seamlessly integrate various processes in future construction practices, offering insights into the transformative potential of automation.

工业建筑的制造和装配自动化

自动化技术的集成提高了工业建筑（IC）的效率，但仍有必要更深入地了解它们对制造和装配阶段的影响。本文系统地回顾了各种自动化技术如何影响集成电路中的这些关键阶段，分析了53篇文章。它探讨了22种技术的部署，包括物联网（IoT）、深度学习、数字孪生和机器人技术，并确定了集成电路的七大优势：(1)互操作性，(2)调度优化，(3)生产可追溯性，(4)生产安全性，(5)可制造性，(6)质量保证，(7)可建造性。为了进一步推进集成电路的自动化，未来的研究应解决关键挑战，包括提高数据质量，扩大实证测试，深入探索新兴技术，以及整合碎片化的工作流程。本文强调了战略技术部署的必要性，以便在未来的建设实践中无缝集成各种过程，并提供了对自动化变革潜力的见解。
