Lifecycle Management

Building Information Modelling (BIM) objects represent buildingproducts in design, simulation, and procurement processes. This paper explores how BIM objects could be created and exchanged to enable the diffusion of innovative products with enhanced sustainability performance. Two BIM library platforms were examined by taking a new approach that integrates the concepts of sustainable value, diffusion of innovations, information, software usability, and platform ecosystems. The findings show that the diffusion of sustainable products can be inhibited due to problems with the mechanisms for creating and exchanging BIM objects, quality of BIM objects, the usability of BIM library platforms, and participation on the platforms. This study deepens understanding of the problems by focusing on ventilation products in Sweden. Identified shortcomings in the current practices of BIM platform owners and participants would be reduced by effective platform strategies, certification schemes for BIM objects, and BIM object creation processes integrated with product lifecycle management.

Theoretical Overview

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is claimed to transform the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, whereas current research has argued that diffusion of BIM use proceeds at a slower rate than the optimistic predictions. Despite that potential of BIM is higher in industrialized housebuilding, the trade express similar characteristics as traditional construction both in terms of BIM sue but also organization of assets. The aim of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for digital development in industrialized timber housing. Data were gathered from eight industrialized housebuilding companies in a mixed approach with interviews, focus groups and a survey. The analysis presents the current use of BIM and digital tools and prioritized development areas within this domain. By adding a theoretical overview of current research for industrialized housebuilding with focus on platform strategies and digital development a framework is drawn. Problems with transfer in the interfaces between software were emphasized. Current research on developing a system for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) in industrialized housebuilding indicate a path forward. A PLM system facilitates the development of digital developments such as digital twins and smart products, which possess the potentials to generate crucial feedback, which is crucial for the competitiveness and efficiency of industrialized housebuilding. Thus, for a trade with high levels of complexity, a move towards a fully functional PLM system might not only be desirable but decisive.

Lifecycle Management

The article is dedicated to the analysis of digital certification of aviation equipment on the basis of multifunctional “Siemens PLM Software” (PLM - Product Lifecycle Management) technologies and “Verification Management” solution. In the theoretical part of the article, the authors point out that during certification a project usually goes through two stages: validation and verification. The first stage involves checking the project requirements for correctness and completeness, while the second stage aims to confirm that the designed aircraft is fully consistent with the validated requirements for it. The article states that the implementation of modern systems engineering practices is based on various instrumental components, methodology, and professional competence and is implemented as part of the general PLM strategy of an enterprise using “Siemens Digital Industries Software” products. In the course of the research, the authors of the article came to the conclusion that “Verification Management” solution in the “Teamcenter Siemens PLM Software” system helps enterprises in the aerospace and defence industries to successfully implement projects on creation of innovative products within a given timeframe and budget. “Verification Management” solution forms a closed traceability cycle for all stages of the control process of project decisions aimed to confirm compliance of the design with specified requirements. “Verification Management Catalyst” module accelerates the enterprise’s transition to digital technology; therefore, this transition improves reliability and productivity while lowering the total cost of ownership. “Teamcenter” system supports verification of the implementation of product development programs, reduces the time and cost of project decisions, which ultimately improves the entire work of the enterprise. “Verification Management” solution is a fully functional lifecycle management solution that is able to transmit product requirements and their changes to all participants of the design process.

This paper offers two starting points bridged by a question: The first point is the field of sustainability concepts that can help transform a resource-wasting society into a sustainable one. The second point is the field of design-driven innovation that can generate sustainable economic success by designing products and services that meet people's needs. A question bridges these two starting points: How do we design sustainable products to make them more successful? This essay introduces a tool to help companies develop innovative products and services that are sustainable for the environment, the economy and society: the Sustainable Value Proposition Tool (SVPT).

Building Safety

Today’s buildings are getting larger and more complex. As a result, the traditional method of manually checking the design of a building is no longer efficient since such a process is time-consuming and laborious. It is becoming increasingly important to establish and automate processes for checking the quality of buildings. By automatically checking whether buildings satisfy requirements, Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows for rapid decision-making and evaluation. In this context, the work presented here focuses on resolving building safety issues via a proposed BIM-based quality checking process. Through the use case studies, the efficiency and usability of the devised strategy is evaluated. This research can be beneficial in promoting the efficient use of BIM-based communication and collaboration among the project party concerned for improving safety management. In addition, the work presented here has the potential to expand research efforts in BIM-based quality checking processes.
