An ICT-enabled Product Service System for Reuse of Building Components

The paper outlines the development of a prototype cyber-physical data exchange system that connects RFID, BIM and the Cloud based data platform by which reusable building components may be identified, tracked and managed. The digital platform is then adapted to support an ongoing Product-Service System (PSS) relationship between suppliers/providers and users/clients. This enables advanced services for reuse of building components at the highest value and with mutual benefits. Via an integration of the ICT-based data management and PSS, the types of life cycle, performance, cost and other data required for service relationships can be identified so that suppliers may manage building components over their extended life, retain their optimum value and find new profit centres. Clients can be assured that the quality and performance of reused components meet required service expectations, coupled with savings in cost and carbon. An example of internal glazed system is presented to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. (C) 2019, IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Hosting by Elsevier Ltd.
