Estudo da inserção da internet das coisas (IoT) na construção civil no Ceará

Abstract

Although the construction industry in Brazil is a strategic sector for the economy, it shows significant lags regarding the adoption of digital technologies. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) emerges as a

promising alternative for the modernization of the sector, allowing for real- time monitoring, process automation, and systems integration. This study aims

to investigate the use of IoT in civil construction in the state of Ceará, analyzing its main devices, costs, areas of application, and implementation challenges. The methodology adopted includes the administration of a questionnaire to professionals from local construction companies, seeking data on real-world experiences with the technology. The expected results include the identification of the sectors most benefited by IoT, an analysis of the feasibility of its implementation in regional projects, and an understanding of the obstacles faced. The research aims to contribute to the discussion on technological innovation in the construction industry in Ceará, offering technical and strategic insights for its modernization.
