OpenAir3D Application in Architecture, Engineering and Construction
When considering the applications of digital twins in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), we must first understand digital twins in the context of Building Information Modelling (BIM). BIM is a powerful tool already popular in the construction industry today. It is essentially a virtual representation of a building or site being constructed. If you imagine a virtual replica of a building, BIM shows you information on infrastructure details, materials to use and safety hazards, for example. When paired with BIM, digital twins update this information in real-time, making BIM come alive and ever-changing, rather than a stagnant file.
3D Digital Twins are 3D replicas of a physical object or space, allowing you to visualise your reality on a device. Beyond a visual representation, digital twins also store data, updating information on your models in real-time and enabling you to monitor that data remotely.
Problem at hand
Managing infrastructure and equipment:
The dimensions of these sites make it difficult to communicate with all the workers involved.
Locations and dimensions make inspections time-consuming, evidently increasing: travel costs, allocation of resources and overall time spent.
Safety concerns:
Construction sites are inherently dangerous.
With OpenAir3D, our 3D digital twin solution, we wish to decrease safety risks and facilitate quicker, easier, remote inspection and management of construction projects.
Manage your Real-Life Construction Projects in Augmented Reality
Considering its dimensions, the number of people involved and the extensive timeline, managing a construction project can prove quite difficult. Rather than spending time and resources on on-site inspections, users of OpenAir3D can virtually manage progress on their device. With its Defect Detection system, OpenAir3D can detect faults in the infrastructure, including but not limited to, missing, misplaced and displaced components.
When combining it with object recognition technology, digital twin solutions can identify and categorise devices and items present on-site, adding an extra layer to your project management and virtual inspection. With our integrated measurement system, industries with heavy machinery, hazardous materials or inaccessible areas will no longer need to use tape to take measurements, having accurate numbers displayed on screen over your 3D model.
OpenAir3D – Making AEC a Collaborative Project on your Devices:
By using OpenAir3D’s collaborative tools, our software can also improve communication and safety in construction sites. As your real-life project progresses, updates on your digital twin can be tagged and commented on by all members of the team, combining all communications into one platform.
Why OpenAir3D?
