New Book Explores the Future of Construction: BIM Automation & Robotics
Dresden, germany – A new specialist book, ”BIM automation and robotics,” published by BSD Verlag and authored by Aileen Pfeil and Ayham Semand, offers a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the rapidly evolving intersection of Building Data Modeling (BIM), automation, and robotics in the construction industry. Released this month, the 92-page volume highlights the potential of technologies ranging from drone inspections and 3D printing to automated construction logistics and monitoring systems.
The book emphasizes that prosperous digitization of construction extends beyond simply adopting new software. According to the authors, BIM serves as the crucial data foundation enabling automation and robotics, leading to increased openness, efficiency, and innovation throughout a building’s lifecycle – from initial planning and execution to ongoing operation and eventual dismantling.
Key areas explored in “BIM automation and robotics” include:
utilizing large datasets within BIM for precise planning and control.
Integrating robotics and monitoring systems into construction and operational workflows.
Leveraging 6D and 7D BIM considerations for enhanced sustainability and facility management.
The publication features numerous real-world examples, showcasing how the construction industry can already benefit from these emerging technologies, including mobile laser scanners and automated material transport systems.
