The construction site of the future is a cyber-physical system: data from robots, environmental sensors, BIM models and AI-driven decisions must be orchestrated in real time, with stringent requirements for security, interoperability and latency.
Cloud4Business brings to this sector its established experience in designing complex digital platforms for the Public Administration and industry, applying it to the specific needs of the construction site: intermittent connectivity, heterogeneous data, multiple stakeholders and regulatory compliance.
Digital Twin and data integration
Cloud/edge architecture for integrating construction-site data into a synchronised digital twin. Ingestion from robots (ROS-2 telemetry), LiDAR scanners, IoT sensors and BIM models (IFC/IDS).
Open API and CDE
Design of open APIs (REST, WebSocket, pub/sub) for data exchange between Digital Twins, BIM/CDE systems, robots and management platforms. ROS-2 ↔ BIM/IFC-IDS mapping with schema validation and contract testing.
Near-real-time KPI dashboards
Dashboards with data-to-decision latency under 5 minutes for monitoring progress, quality, safety, noise, dust and costs. Alerting on drift, anomalies, MTTR/MTBF.
BPM and process orchestration
Intelligent workflows for robot scheduling, retry/fallback management, safety events (H&S). Architectural patterns transferred from the digitalisation of industrial processes.
Security and data governance
ISMS enforcement (ISO 27001) in multi-partner contexts: RBAC/ABAC, audit trail, DLP, encryption, backup/retention. Management of sensitive data (GDPR) in hybrid cloud/edge architectures.
Transfer of BPM, IoT and analytics patterns from industrial manufacturing to the digital construction site.
