The essence of digital factory is to realize information integration, and its construction process mainly involves three stages: design, construction and operation and maintenance, which require the application of digital modeling, construction simulation, virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) and other technologies.
1. Design stage-3D modeling is the foundation.
In the design stage of digital factory, BIM technology is used to build a three-dimensional digital model, giving priority to the establishment of a complete building engineering information base in line with the actual situation, and reducing the information transmission cost in the subsequent stage of engineering construction. All geometric information and non-geometric information covered by the three-dimensional model, along with the whole life cycle of digital factory construction, is an important guarantee for the digital factory to realize the integrated construction from design to operation and maintenance stage and the later digital handover.
2. Construction stage-construction simulation is the key.
In the construction stage, the construction simulation technology is used to visualize, analyze and track the construction process of digital factory, including traffic planning, temporary work and even the actual cost of the project, so as to improve the construction progress and do a good job in project construction progress and cost management.
3. Operation and maintenance stage-data integration real-time communication
In the operation and maintenance stage, the data of design and construction stages are concentrated in the platform through the collaborative work platform, so as to realize cross-departmental and cross-regional collaboration and data interconnection, ensure that all construction information is synchronized from beginning to end, realize real-time update, and lay a solid foundation for subsequent digital handover.
The construction of 3D digital factory involves many specialties and software. Let's take the most comprehensive Bentley 3D digital factory solution in the industry as an example to see what software is needed for the construction of 3D digital factory.
Bentley 3D Digital Factory puts forward a solution covering the whole life cycle of digital factory design/construction/operation and maintenance for the demand of industrial engineering design.
The new digital three-dimensional design process includes defining the scale of the project and the digital goal in the initial project establishment. Then the whole project is decomposed into blocks, the division of labor of project personnel is determined, the project rules and regulations are formulated, and the corresponding time nodes are stipulated. Before the 3D design operation, it is necessary to specify a unified standard style for project delivery, such as a unified drawing environment, a unified standard and a unified template.
Enter the stage of detailed design, adopt the process of parallel design of various disciplines, and use the same coordinate system for three-dimensional parallel design. For example, technology specialty: determine the parameters of main pipelines and equipment, quickly draw the process flow chart of the system through the two-dimensional design tool OpenPlant PID, and transfer the attribute information to the three-dimensional modeling tool OpenPlant Modeler for the three-dimensional detailed modeling stage, using the reference command tool, and other professional three-dimensional design contents (OpenBuilding Designer, Bentley trunking and cable management, PROSTRUCTURES, etc. ) Seamless mutual reference and collaborative work, concurrent design. The final results can be delivered by automatically generated pipeline axonometric drawing, bill of materials and vertical section drawing, providing all-round digital model technical support for the construction stage.
The whole process manages the whole design, collaboration and delivery process through ProjectWise, and dynamically browses and collides all processes through Navigator. LumenRT can be used for the most reasonable rendering and animation display of the final result.
Synchronization can realize visual simulation of construction process, construction schedule planning, advanced risk management, synchronous design change, supply chain management and cost management.
