Current BIM trends that are important for component manufacturers
CADENAS Product Manager BIM in interview
(PresseBox) - Everyone is talking about Building Information Modeling (BIM) these days. With its help, construction projects can be digitally mapped with all relevant information and projects thus processed more effectively. A consistent planning phase presupposes, however, that all information about building components are available online, via digital product catalogs, for instance. Stefan G
How would you tell people exactly what an online component catalog is?
Stefan G, which makes it possible to offer the right product at the right place at the right time. An online component catalog is the ideal solution to exploit this immense potential in the best possible way.
Numerous manufacturers of architecture components, however, still don''t provide sufficient digital data. For this reason, architects and planners have to first take the trouble of requesting 2D & 3D BIM CAD data from the manufacturer and then tediously search for and gather all the relevant information for the components to be used. With an online component catalog ? also called an Electronic Product Catalog ? manufacturers of components can provide their products digitally just the way architects and planners need them for their designs.
Manufacturers of architecture components benefit the same as architects and planners from an online component catalog and the provided digital product data as 2D & 3D BIM CAD data. The 2D & 3D BIM CAD data of building components can be used by planners easily without manual effort with just a few clicks in their designs within their CAD system. Time-consuming search is thus reduced to a minimum for architects and planners. At the same time, free space is created for actual creative planning work and misunderstanding or errors in planning and design are significantly reduced.
What options do architects and planners have for the configuration of components?
Stefan Gr, which we will then implement with our software solution for Electronic Product Catalogs. Architects and planners can configure the component online for its intended purpose. This means that misinterpretations and the combinations of values can be excluded beforehand. Moreover, it can be avoided that architects and planners include components in their designs that the manufacturer doesn''t offer in his portfolio.
A product configurator makes it possible to provide products as 2D & 3D BIM CAD data in thousands of variations as CAD downloads which the manufacturer could never do on his own. The corresponding CAD model, according to customer configuration, is generated individually "on-the-fly" for the user, based on his selection and preferred CAD system.
How are architects and planners optimally supported in their building projects?
Stefan Gn regarding product properties. Architects require e.g. different types of information when planning a building than the facility management, which takes care of maintenance later on. It''s easy to lose the overview of components as a provider.
When manufacturers wish to market their products worldwide in all relevant industries, huge amounts of data come together quickly which have to be provided and kept up to date. With 13 classifications, 12 languages, 100 CAD formats, 3 CAD versions and 5 levels of development (LOD), there are 240,000 data combinations of a product variant possible. One manufacturer alone can''t provide and maintain such a variety of information. It''s easily possible with a professional provider of Electronic Product Catalogs and increases the component manufacturer''s competitiveness immensely.
There is yet another advantage for architects and planners: The integrated 2D & 3D BIM CAD objects are always up to date, thanks to the consistent linking to the original manufacturer data. If the manufacturer modifies product information in his Electronic Product Catalog, those modifications are automatically taken over in the existing designs in, for example, the CAD system Autodesk Revit.
Will artificial intelligence have an impact on BIM and Electronic Product Catalogs in the future?
Stefan Gted quickly and error-free.
In doing so, diverse machine learning methods will be used to help analyze and evaluate thousands of input sequences and constructive correlations of previous planning projects. Based on such a components knowledge database, the system anticipates already during the current planning process which components or assemblies could be next and suggests suitable components for the architect or planner.
This largely compensates for the lack of specific knowledge or years of professional experience, e.g. with career beginners. For companies, this shortens the learning phases of junior staff who have little experience. Moreover, the experienced specialists will also benefit from the intelligent knowledge database.
