AB  - Currently, the development of information technologies for construction processes in earth work is focused on sensor systems, machine control, and building information modeling (BIM). These systems have been developed independently and it seems beneficial to link and combine the information available in these single systems to enable a global optimization of the production processes. An integrated system collects and stores data from sensor-equipped construction machines to connect them with information from the planning phase, thereby leading to a higher level of transparency. This transparency can be used to identify bottlenecks and unproductive working times such as waiting periods. The system can provide assistance for the construction manager to detect reasons for these kinds of distractions. Hereby a continuous improvement process is induced. This paper will introduce the described system above and show the benefits of the merged use of current developments in information technologies. Moreover, it represents the ongoing development of a system prototype.
