A Simulation Model for Logical and Operative Clash Detection
The introduction of the Building Information Modeling (BIM) approach has
facilitated the management process of documents produced by different kinds of
professionals involved in the design and/or renovation of a building, through
identification and subsequent management of geometrical interferences (Clash
Detection). The methodology of this research proposes a tool to support Clash
Detection, introducing the logical-operative dimension, that may occur with the
presence of a construction site within a hospital structure, through the integration
of a BIM model within a Game Engine environment, to preserve the continuity of
daily hospital activities and trying to reduce negative impacts, times and costs
due to construction activities
Development of an Extended Product Lifecycle Management through Service Oriented Architecture.
Organised by: Cranfield UniversityThe aim of this work is to define new business opportunities through the concept of Extended Product
Lifecycle Management (ExtPLM), analysing its potential implementation within a Service Oriented
Architecture. ExtPLM merges the concepts of Extended Product, Avatar and PLM. It aims at allowing a
closer interaction between enterprises and their customers, who are integrated in all phases of the life cycle,
creating new technical functionalities and services, improving both the practical (e.g. improving usage,
improving safety, allowing predictive maintenance) and the emotional side (e.g. extreme customization) of
the product.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Company; BAE Systems; S4T – Support Service Solutions: Strategy and Transitio
Continuous maintenance and the future – Foundations and technological challenges
High value and long life products require continuous maintenance throughout their life cycle to achieve required performance with optimum through-life cost. This paper presents foundations and technologies required to offer the maintenance service. Component and system level degradation science, assessment and modelling along with life cycle ‘big data’ analytics are the two most important knowledge and skill base required for the continuous maintenance. Advanced computing and visualisation technologies will improve efficiency of the maintenance and reduce through-life cost of the product. Future of continuous maintenance within the Industry 4.0 context also identifies the role of IoT, standards and cyber security
