Summary |
There are 7 functions available for the VERAKEY platform: To-do task, Sending and receiving record, Documentation management, Scheduling, Jobsite construction report, Jobsite diary, and Quality management. Function 1 has users noticed, traced, shared, and reported. A friendly interface can guide users to finish assignments systematically. Function 2 is an automatic system that allows users to create, reply, forward, and file documents. Function 3 can automatically trace and recognize texts on documents according to users’ settings and association rules. Function 4 involves five major sub-functions to conduct scheduling management. Function 5 is designed for construction activities calculating labor quantities and productivities. Function 6 automatically saves activities performed in the jobsite using the proposed methods and material import/export. Function 7 has five sub-functions that allow users can precisely carry out quality control. |
Scientific Breakthrough |
The study is to answer the demands to establish an interaction platform to integrate necessary modules for construction projects. The second-phase interaction platform uses big data and data mining techniques to connect all contract parties together for deep-insight management. The final phase creates interaction platform using DNN, cloud computing, natural language processing technology ,and IoT. |
Industrial Applicability |
The VERAKEY is constructed based on IoT, AI mobile device, and cloud computation integrated with over 20-year experience in Taiwan construction industry. The design concept is similar to a central kitchen that handles all details and yields intelligent outputs. The VERAKEY has been employed in 6 construction related companies with the total signed contract amount of over NTD 30 million up to now since 2016. |
