BIM in industrial prefabrication for construction

Abstract

Building InformationModeling offers enormous potential for increasing the productivity of design, production and quality management processes in the field of industrial prefabrication. To this end, construction software for production models needs to fulfill a series of additional requirements compared with typical planning-oriented CAD systems. Automated production systems require extremely precise geometric data, which requires the use of parametrical modeling techniques and support for common data exchange interfaces for production machinery used in the industry.
