Utilization of Hyper Environments for Tracking and Monitoring of Processes and Supplies in Construction and Assembly Industries

This article addresses the utilization of hyper environments and RFID to track and trace processes and supplies in construction and assembly industries, using networks of sensors/actuators and virtual reality. The concept and tools for development and implementation of hyper environments a represented applied in a study case: shipyard construction for assembly of maritime ships and platforms. In this scenario is used a network of sensors and RFIDs to track management of objects and supplies.
