The release of the 5G commercial license issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China marks the official start of the 5G era in China. So what changes will 5G bring to the informatization of the construction industry? When it comes to 5G, the first thing that comes to mind is the fast network transmission speed. How fast is it? In theory, the transmission speed of 5G networks can reach tens of Gb per second, and the network delay is 1 millisecond, which is hundreds of times faster than 4G networks. What does such a fast internet speed mean for the construction industry? What are the application scenarios?
Relying on the high transmission rate and low latency of 5G technology, the informatization, automation and intelligence of the construction industry in the future will not only be for workers’ access control card swiping, remote video monitoring on construction sites, management and early warning of dangerous projects, and simple business system information The following application scenarios can be realized instead of the BIM application of individual buildings. In terms of remote automation control: realize remote automation control of construction sites, and remote control of construction machinery and equipment through 5G network. It will effectively solve the difficult problems of personnel in the field of construction machinery and high enterprise costs; in terms of smart construction: the use of BIM and cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence and other information technology industry transformation and upgrading business Strategy, integration of personnel, processes, data, technology and business systems to realize the monitoring and management of the whole process of project construction; in terms of the industrial chain internet platform: the whole industrial chain interconnection development platform will be built, which is different from the current construction internet E-commerce platform, the application of 5G technology will open up all aspects of the construction industry, so that the currently isolated building materials industry, construction machinery, labor dispatch and project construction are integrated into one. Based on the powerful performance of 5G networks, a large number of unpredictable innovations will inevitably occur in the construction industry.
