BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING: "It is essential that manufacturers control the definition of the numerical characteristics of their products"

Friday 16 June 2017

As announced in the previous CEIR Gazette, the BIM is growing and is no longer limited to the building itself but also to industrial facilities. Among the recognized advantages, the BIM allows:

  • to speed up the working methods,
  • to improve cooperation between the various actors,
  • to facilitate the training of operators thanks to augmented reality,
  • to accompany the maintenance agents on the ground always in augmented reality,
  • ...

It is however necessary that the data and characteristics of our components are properly structured. If the standardization work on methodologies for defining product characteristics has not been completed, the CEIR has already prepared and communicated within CEN/TC442 its lists of properties allowing to characterize both sanitary and industrial valves. It is essential that manufacturers control the definition of the numerical characteristics of their products, since they are the ones who have knowledge of the latter and know what is feasible or not.

Furthermore, it has been proposed in CEN/TC442 that its role is recognized by CEN/BT as transverse. By that way, the Products TCs would be responsible, by applying the methodologies developed by CEN/TC442, to define the numerical characteristics and to integrate them into the Products Standards within their scope.
