We are delighted to announce the launch of a pioneering research project as part of the 5G4Construction network. Together with our partners - the GIA Institute at RWTH Aachen University, the engineering firm GRBV and albert.ing - we are developing a pioneering smartphone application for real-time quality assurance in the construction industry.
Innovation through intelligent fault detection
The BIM2Field project uses state-of-the-art augmented reality technology and artificial intelligence to revolutionise everyday life on construction sites. The centrepiece of the development is an app that enables an automated comparison between digital building models (BIM) and the actual construction work. The technological basis for this is the AR Explorer platform from IMS, which is characterised by precise AR visualisation and an intelligent ticket management system.
Strong partnerships for the construction industry of tomorrow
The collaboration combines the expertise of leading players:
- IMS: AR technology and software development
- GIA Institute of RWTH Aachen University: Scientific research and validation
- GRBV & albert.ing: BIM expertise, practical experience and application expertise in construction
Added value for the construction industry
The solution developed will:
- Recognise construction deviations in real time
- Automate documentation processes
- Simplify quality controls
- Minimise rework
- Accelerate construction processes
Yesterday's kick-off meeting in Aachen marks the official start of the project and lays the foundation for the upcoming development phase. We look forward to keeping you up to date on further progress.
