Abstract
In the last two decades, RFID technology was used widely in construction. In essence, during different phases of a building project, RFID enables control over a wide variety of procedures, from its construction to its ecosystems. In order to demonstrate recent trends, weaknesses and differences, this paper aims specifically to examine RFID implementations in the construction industry. The paper presents the use of RFID technology in tracking and monitoring of material and resources in construction work. In addition, RFID is integrated with different systems like PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) and Vision technology to enhance its capability. In this later step an RFID application is presented aimed at facilitating the identification of furniture parts in scanned habitats. At the end of the paper are discussed future progress.
