Digital transformation of the construction industry with BIM and AR/VR technologies

The construction industry is ramping up BIM-maturity

IM Consult and AR SOFT held the first conference on industrial construction digitalization

 

24 июня, Россия - The first conference dedicated to the ecosystem approach to the application of information modeling technology for buildings and structures in industry was held in St. Petersburg. The event gathered representatives of companies working at all stages of the life cycle of an industrial construction facility - from design to its operation. The conference was organized by IM Consult, an engineering consulting company, and AR SOFT, a developer of augmented reality solutions.

The situation is similar in other areas. In civil engineering, BIM models exchange data with monitoring and management systems for residential complexes. In the industrial sector, the use of digital twins is also very relevant: digital deposits are created, at enterprises BIM-models are integrated with MES for production management and optimization of equipment fleet maintenance. It is this approach that allows you to get the most out of BIM implementation.

Experts also see the use of AR/VR solutions within the digital ecosystem of construction projects as promising. "We see a high interest on the part of construction industry players in augmented and virtual reality technologies. And this interest is not theoretical: there are real needs in the application of AR/VR solutions. And this is not surprising: according to analysts, about 70% of problems on the construction site arise due to collisions that take a lot of time and, as a consequence, money to correct. The use of augmented reality technologies makes it possible to minimize such losses," says Artem Batikov, Commercial Director of AR SOFT.

The event also presented the possibilities of creating digital twins using AVEVA technologies, which adheres to a platform approach to their development. The company's expert spoke both about the technology itself and cases of its application at enterprises of various profiles.

IM Consult specialists highlighted the peculiarities of BIM projects implementation at industrial enterprises, discussed when BIM implementation can be considered complete, and considered the pros and cons of implementation by own forces or through the involvement of an external contractor.

The presentation of the pilot product of AR SOFT Company was the conclusion of the series of presentations. VR Build Manager is a software that allows you to download a pre-made 3D model from virtually any CAD system, such as AutoCAD, AVEVA, etc. for its collective study in a virtual environment using VR-glasses.

"The conference showed that the interest of industry representatives in BIM technology is high, the maturity in understanding its features has grown in recent years. And although so far information modeling and AR/VR-based solutions in this area are only beginning to gain momentum, we are confident that their spread will gradually accelerate. We hope that our conference will become an annual event and will attract more and more participants," summarized Vyacheslav Guselnikov.
