Integration of RFID with other technologies in construction

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been inserted in construction to make easier, and even automatic, a large variety of processes during the lifecycle of a building. However, RFID has some limitations and restrictions which can be highly reduced if it is combined with other sensors and technologies. This paper makes a review of the most popular technologies and applications which have been recently integrated with RFID in construction. The paper demonstrates that the integration makes the whole control system more accurate and efficient as well as increases the possibilities and applications of RFID in construction.
