- Abstract
- The workshop, sponsored by the National Bureau of Standards and Transitions Research Corporation, concluded that: New technology achievable in the near term would have a major benefit in the construction and large scale assembly industries. The key to this benefit is the application of computers to data management and process control both off-site for design and planning and on-site for inventory management, production control and creation of an as-built data base. The achievement of this new technology requires research carried out on the integration of systems for measurement and automated control of on-site construction and assembly tasks.
