Thursday afternoon September 14, the 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 launch event 🚀

Sign up, possibly together with your colleague, by sending an email to info@wistor.nl. There are a limited number of places available.

Wistor is a revolutionary platform for dealing with data in an innovative and modular way. With Wistor you configure the platform around your data (sets), instead of developing an application and adding data to it.

Give data a central role, think data-centric and create value from it.

Do you share our vision, or are you curious about the applications? Register for this event, find out more and join the conversation.

Program:
– keynote speaker
– vision on asset information management in the built environment
– demonstrations and experiences of Wistor applications
– (networking) drinks

Knowledge session 💡

As part of our two weekly knowledge sessions our colleague Fred Kloet invited Jeffrey Truijens, partner at VDNDP, at our office.

Topic: Data-driven Facility Management. How do we help our clients in data-driven decision making in the last stages of the asset life cycle? What could be improved and what can we learn from BIM and digitalization in earlier stages of the asset life cycle?

A good session to share knowledge between VDNDP and BIM-Connected.

#LDAC2023 has started with the Summer School.

This week our collegues Ellen van den Bersselaar and Lucas Verhelst are joining the Linked Data in Architecture and Construction community in Matera for workshops, presentations and discussions.

We are proud to sponsor this event with a use case for the summer school and two presentations.

It is possible to attend some of the sessions online, check out: https://linkedbuildingdata.net/ldac2023/summerschool/#programhttps://lnkd.in/etQF3b9p

Acceleration of digitization and chain optimization.

A broad coalition of 61 chain partners in the design, construction and engineering industry signed the new digi-Agreement until 2030 last week. BIM-Connected was one of them.

Until 2030, the digi-Agreement is a clear new step in making faster use of digitization opportunities in our industry. Accelerated digitization and data-driven chain collaboration are important preconditions for achieving social and individual challenges.

Read more about the digiAgreement here.

We are happy to be a gold sponsor of the LDAC Summer School and Workshop this year. LDAC brings researchers and companies together to collaborate on the further digitisation of the construction industry using semantic web technologies.

We will provide a usecase for participants of the Summer School and several presentations during the workshop. We’re proud to support this community and look forward to collaborating with experts in this field.

On Friday, February 24, we will share the results of the practical case ‘digital data exchange between client and contractor based on an Information Delivery Specification, use of Linked Data standards and IFC and the application of a data control portal’ on the #onlineFriday of digiGO BIM Loket.

Last month we celebrated our 5th anniversary together with friends and colleagues from our network. It is incredibly beautiful to see that this organization of one person 5 years ago has grown into an energetic club of almost 20 colleagues, divided over a consultancy and software team. Started with the belief to bring the construction industry and IT closer together, to fulfill that bridging function ourselves. The belief in the use of open standards. Our mission to achieve a higher level of information capture and exchange. Our drive to be and remain innovatively strong, but to keep it practically applicable.

We toast to more beautiful years, where we continue to take steps with everyone in data-driven working and thereby create added value in the built environment.

We finished top 3 in the DigiDare award 2022! 🏅

Together with TenneT and Qirion we built and implemented a data checking portal.

The award rewards succesful examples of digital collaboration in practice. Out of 45 other projects from the built environment the juri selected us to be in the top 3. We are very proud of this result!

We want to thank digiGO.nu and BIM Loket for organising this competition and congratulate the winner.

Watch the video (in Dutch) of our nomination project for the DigiDare Awards 2022 below. 2 Weeks ago, a film crew visited us to make a video about our nomination project, a collaboration with TenneT and Qirion.

Together with TenneT and Qirion, BIM-Connected has drawn up an ILS (information delivery specification), tested and updated where necessary. The testing process was based on a real ongoing project for which TenneT is the client and Qirion the contractor. The aim of TenneT, and its ILS, is to receive structured and reliable data from the contractor. An unique tool to support this process is the BIM-Connected data control portal, which allows the contractor to check its own data (BIM models in IFC and alphanumeric data) against TenneT’s requirements. Quick insight, quick response to errors and garantee of delivering qualitative data during the process.

What makes this project special is that this is an example project for other parties, especially clients such as asset owners. Namely, well known industry standards have been applied. Think of the BIM standard ISO 19650, geometric data based on IFC, alphanumeric data based on Linked Data (NEN 2660) and the data exchange based on ICDD (ISO 21597). In addition, the TenneT standards EIR (Exchange Information Requirements), GIR (Geometric Information Requirements) and the ILS.
