Building your digital future

Building your digital future

~ How BIM can impact manufacturing ~
Building information modelling (BIM) has revolutionised the construction sector, by digitalising processes and enabling new ways for construction professionals and architects to collaborate. But where are the opportunities in manufacturing? Here Jonathan Wilkins, marketing director at industrial automation parts supplier EU Automation, explains how manufacturers can better interact with their supply chains using BIM.

According to research by Heriot-Watt University, the UK’s construction industry must build 340,000 houses a year until 2031 to meet demand. The industry is under pressure to meet this target with high-quality infrastructure, both for domestic and industrial purposes.

To help achieve this, construction companies are investing in advanced technologies to improve their productivity and quality.

One technology the construction industry is standing behind is BIM, a digital monitoring program that helps everyone involved in a project to optimise the building process. It provides a platform for managing all construction information throughout the lifecycle of the project and enables visualisation of components to see how different systems interact. Closer collaboration combined with the ability to flag up any conflicts helps to increase efficiency during the design phase and reduce the risk of mistakes.
