Helping "Building in China" with Intelligent Construction!

The development of intelligent construction with the help of new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things has become an urgent need to promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry and enhance international competitiveness.

Assembling prefabricated components like building blocks, prefabricated building projects can effectively reduce pollution, save resources and reduce costs. Exterior wall spraying robots carry out high-altitude operations, and the efficiency can reach 3 to 5 times that of manual work; the building automatic control system adjusts the indoor temperature, lighting, etc. in real time, so that the building has a "smart brain"... In recent years, China's construction industry has accelerated its industrialization, digitalization, and intelligent transformation, and the quality and efficiency of development have been further improved.

Intelligent construction refers to the full use of intelligent technology in the construction process, through the application of intelligent systems to improve the intelligent level of the construction process, to achieve the purpose of safe construction, and to improve the cost performance and reliability of buildings. In order to accelerate the in-depth integration of the construction industry with advanced manufacturing technology and new-generation information technology, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued a notice not long ago, deciding to collect and select some cities to carry out pilot projects of intelligent construction. This pilot has arranged four tasks of improving the policy system, cultivating the intelligent construction industry, constructing pilot demonstration projects and innovating the management mechanism, which will help to form a replicable and popularized policy system, development path and supervision model. It will play a leading role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry and promoting high-quality development in an all-round way.

The construction industry plays an important role in my country's national economy. Last year, the total output value of China's construction industry was 29.3 trillion yuan, an increase of 11% year-on-year, and the added value accounted for 7% of the GDP, which strongly supported the sustainable and healthy development of the national economy. However, for a long time, the development of China's construction industry has mainly relied on the input of resource factors and large-scale investment. The problems of extensive production methods, low labor efficiency, and large energy and resource consumption are relatively prominent. The "14th Five-Year Plan" and the outline of the long-term goals for 2035 put forward: "Develop intelligent construction, promote green building materials, prefabricated buildings and steel structure houses". The development of intelligent construction with the help of new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things has become an urgent need to promote the transformation and upgrading of the construction industry and enhance international competitiveness.

The development of intelligent construction is an important starting point for stabilizing growth and expanding domestic demand. The intelligent construction industry has the characteristics of high technology content, high industrial correlation, and strong driving ability. It not only has huge investment needs, but also provides a huge consumer market for the new generation of information technology. The development of intelligent construction can not only drive the development of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and high-end equipment manufacturing, but also cultivate new industries, new formats and new models of construction industry Internet, construction robots, and digital design, and thus foster new economic growth points.

The development of intelligent construction is also an important measure to help achieve the goal of peaking and carbon neutrality. With the help of advanced construction technology, it can promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the construction industry. For example, prefabricated buildings can reduce the amount of scaffolding, improve construction efficiency, and have advantages in energy saving, material saving, and land saving. There are also some places to build "photovoltaic storage, direct and flexible" buildings that integrate photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, DC power distribution, and flexible power consumption to achieve self-regulation and optimization of power consumption.

It should be noted that the development of intelligent construction is a complex systematic project, covering scientific research, design, production and processing, construction and assembly, operation and other links, and requires overall planning and coordinated promotion. Among them, it is particularly critical to increase the basic common technology research on the Internet platform of the construction industry, and cultivate a group of industry-level, enterprise-level, project-level platforms and government supervision platforms. At the same time, it is also necessary to provide policy support in terms of financial support, personnel training, and promoting the establishment of a production system based on standard parts. Taking talent training as an example, there is still a relative shortage of compound talents who are familiar with both civil engineering and information technology. It is urgent for colleges and universities to develop layouts around the new direction of interdisciplinary and create suitable talent training programs. Focusing not only on problem orientation, but also on collaborative innovation of technology and management, focusing on industrial integration, and launching effective measures can better develop intelligent construction and help the high-quality development of the construction industry.

The development of intelligent construction is of great significance and huge potential. Facing the future, to promote the coordinated development of intelligent construction and construction industrialization, the core competitiveness of "Building in China" will continue to improve, and the achievements of high-quality development of the construction industry will certainly be more outstanding.
