In the rapidly changing world of construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been considered the cornerstone of digital design and coordination. However, BIM often falls short in providing real-time data to perform efficient operations and management (O&M) when assets transition from the construction to the operation phase.
This is where the digital twins concept evolved, which bridges the gap between the physical and digital worlds.
This article explains how companies can create a BIM to Digital twin pipeline to enhance O&M efficiency, save costs, and obtain true asset intelligence.
BIM-to-Digital Twin Evolution
The fundamental job of BIM is to create the 3D representation of the structure that we construct. BIM allows stakeholders to visualize, coordinate, and document every component of a project. But once the building is ready, BIM cannot update what's happening inside the building, like maintenance, repairs, etc.
On the other hand, Digital twins create a replicated digital model of the building, allowing for the monitoring of its performance. IoT data and sensors integrated into the building framework help to track the performance of the building.
In short, BIM tells what was built, while Digital twins tell how it's performing in the present time.
Why the BIM to Digital Twin Transition is Important
The transition from BIM to digital twin is not just a new technology adoption; it's the strategic transition that lets us know how we understand, operate, and manage buildings throughout the life cycle. Take a look at some important points mentioned below.
