Project of the month
"BIM – Building Information Modeling"
Making factory planning more collaborative
BIM - in a nutshell
- BIM can be understood primarily as a methodology, enabling central data management and a coordinated exchange of information based on a uniform data format.
- Interfaces of all trades and specialist planners are organized more efficiently and the exchange of information over the entire life cycle is improved.
- Here, 3D data is associated with already defined attributes and managed within a model.
- Data can be exchanged and processed between the different trades without modification.
PROCESS
- Following BIM methodology and functionality, machine and plant information, such as connection values and locations for the required
supplies (electricity, air, etc.) are integrated into the models.
- With that information being part of the model, comprehensive facility planning, and collision checks can be carried out early in the
planning phase.
- Through overall coordination, the 3D layout is merged with the data from building and facility planning. Changes can easily be
communicated to all parties involved.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
- By integrating the layout states of all specialist planners, there is only one current main layout.
- Improved information management between all parties involved
- More reliable and secure planning
- Early detection of collisions
- Time and cost savings for new factory buildings with complex plant technology
