Abstract

Considered a promising avenue for achieving improvements in construction and logistics management, the integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has proposed the ability to revolutionize the Architectural, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management (AECFM) industry. Many studies have been examining different applications of BIM and IOT integration, specifically within the context of industry 4.0 through recent years. However, the existing literature appears to be fragmented due to the absence of review and categorization, leading to difficulties for practitioners and researchers in identifying trends and gaps. This paper delves into the convergence of BIM and IoT within the field of construction and logistics management by reviewing and categorizing the current cited literature derived from various journals using OpenAlex. On the one hand, the results suggest the utilization of RFID and LoRa for logistics, tracking, and inventory management with BIM and IoT as the most frequent topic. On the other hand, the implementation of BIM and IoT for simulating emergency evacuation scenarios is the least mentioned topic. The main foci within each topic-subcategory are also highlighted and described respectively.
