Abstract
Optimization of the delivery processes of different facets of human dwelling has been enhanced by technological innovations in recent times. One of such is the application of Cyber-physical systems (CPSs). This has been widely applied to different fields of human endeavors and the benefits accrued from such applications are quite enormous. The construction industry has been noted to be on the back foot of adopting such innovations despite the overwhelming usefulness. This study assessed the application of CPSs in the construction industry and having a comparative review with the application with other selected industries aided by the review of literature. Its potential benefits in different industries were discussed, and measures for its adoption in the construction industry were highlighted.
