BIM Software in Machine Building and Plant Construction

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is playing an increasingly important role in machine building and plant construction, although it is historically rooted in the construction industry. BIM helps to better organize and execute complex projects. As a supplier, it increases your competitiveness and the interoperability between architecture and machine building and plant construction. The use of BIM software enables precise planning, efficient collaboration and innovative design.


Why Should I Get Involved with BIM?


The growing complexity of projects in plant construction and machine building is driving demand for new ways to plan projects faster and more efficiently. New solutions to deal with the ever-increasing amount of data, fed by historically grown and diverse data management and software systems, are a key focus.

Originating from the construction and architecture industry, Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers new opportunities to capture and manage project and planning information in machine building and plant construction at an early stage and continuously throughout the entire project life cycle.

With BIM, you optimize the entire life cycle of your project (planning, design, production, operation, maintenance), for example with the help of intelligent 3D models and special software for calculation and visualization.

Use Building Information Modeling (BIM) for your machine building and plant construction projects. Integrate mechanical engineering and construction planning efficiently. Collaborate with your team members, customers and suppliers on a CDE (Common Data Environment), a shared data platform. Increase your competitiveness by providing your customers with BIM-compatible products, such as mechanical designs, machines and systems.

What does the BIM Method Stand For?


The BIM method follows the approach of using a digital 3D model to illustrate buildings or machines and plants with all their relevant information over their entire life cycle. All planning, construction and service partners involved have access to all data. The ultimate goal is a common basis for communication and decision-making, which ensures a more efficient planning and implementation phase.


What is the German Government's BIM Master Plan?


The German government's BIM master plan focuses on introducing Building Information Modeling (BIM) across the board for public construction projects. It includes measures to standardize, qualify and promote BIM. The goal is to increase efficiency and quality in the construction industry, optimize planning and construction processes and reduce costs. The master plan also aims to expand knowledge and skills in the industry, adapt the legal framework and support pilot projects in order to establish BIM on a broad basis.


BIM Use Cases


BIM is the solution for better quality, increased competitiveness and greater efficiency in building, machine and plant design. Find out more about the use cases of Building Information Modeling.


Quality and Competitiveness

Use the potential of BIM in machine building and plant construction to continuously increase your quality and competitiveness. Provide your customers with BIM-compatible CAD models of your products. Enrich them with additional metadata and BIM connectors and integrate them into 3D building models as BIM-compliant models.

Interoperable Planning

Save time and costs with BIM - from the concept and planning phase through to the construction and final operation of a building. Thanks to integrated tools from the Autodesk Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection (AEC), your plans can be displayed and used much more effectively. In addition to fast parametric planning, a BIM concept also provides you with an up-to-date initial situation of any existing building structures (via laser scan).

5 Good Reasons for BIM


Here are five reasons why you should switch to BIM in machine and system planning:


1 CIDEON

BIM Minimizes Errors

BIM helps you avoid errors. Coordinate and update early drafts in machine and plant planning quickly, easily and comprehensibly for everyone with BIM. With BIM tools such as Revit, AutoCAD for Plant 3D and Navisworks, you can validate data at any time to keep consistent designs and project-specific requirements in line. This allows you to make custom adjustments to your machine and system planning at any time.

2 CIDEON

BIM Visualizes Your Planning

With BIM, you can improve your planning and achieve better designs. Combine all information, drafts and ideas right from the start and transform them into a visualized plan. Use the BIM analysis and simulation tools and create the perfect design for your machine or plant. And also the most suitable for your budget.

3 CIDEON

BIM Improves Collaboration

Use BIM in machine and plant planning not only as a central point of contact and “clearing house” for all plans, designs, construction work, specification data, costs and schedules. BIM allows you to go one step further, for example by enabling multidisciplinary teams of plant planners, architects and civil engineers to work together as efficiently as possible - even in real time if desired.


4 CIDEON

BIM Optimizes Your Cost Management

With BIM, you can create realistic and customizable 3D models of your machine and plant planning. This not only improves the subsequent engineering, but also reduces the number of planning queries and omissions at an early stage. Enable better cost control and permanent cost reductions.

5 CIDEON

BIM Ensures a Faster Project Start

Building Information Modeling enables a more integrated planning solution because designers and engineers use reality capture technologies, for example, to model a facility from the inside and outside and create a digital twin with BIM. This saves time in further planning and enables a faster project start.

FAQ about BIM


BIM is the abbreviation for Building Information Modeling. The method offers significant optimization potential in all phases, such as the concept, planning, detailing and management phases of buildings and industrial plants. But BIM also offers considerable advantages in machine and plant planning.

A BIM model is a digital visualization of buildings, machines or plants. It integrates geometric, functional and time-related data in order to make planning, construction and operation more efficient.

BIM offers everyone involved in the project the opportunity to efficiently implement the necessary and relevant modeling in 3D, to use information about an object on a shared platform and to further develop it throughout the entire life cycle. By using a shared database, models and associated information can be exchanged with customers, suppliers and subcontractors simply and easily.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) methods have been used in the construction industry for many years. When implementing customer projects, machine building companies are confronted with a constantly increasing coordination effort and classic development tools from within the industry often reach their limits. This is precisely where BIM comes in handy for the digitalization of processes and improved collaboration.

BIM enables suppliers to provide accurate and up-to-date data on their products that can be seamlessly integrated into digital construction and plant models. This improves planning, increases efficiency, reduces errors and promotes collaboration. It also strengthens the market position through innovative services.

BIM improves factory planning through precise 3D models and simulations that enable optimal layout and process planning. It promotes collaboration and coordination between all parties involved, reduces planning errors and enables effective adaptation to changes and expansions.

BIM has an impact on the entire product life cycle. As early as the product development stage, it can be helpful to adapt the design to the individual characteristics of the building or installation site. The exchange of information and data via BIM also leads to greater efficiency in sales and order processing. In the production and procurement phase as well as on-site installation, BIM offers quick access to information and product data. BIM also helps with service fulfillment, for example with maintenance intervals.
