A new information management system is going to simplify the building industry
An organization called Nima (previously known as the UK BIM Alliance) and the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) recently presented their own Information Modeling System (IMS). They hope the new system will help transform the building industry, allowing new capabilities in emerging technologies. But why is this system so important, and what is its real influence on the building industry?
The main source: Industry eggheads launch Information Management Initiative
What does this product do?
The main task of an Information Management System is to prepare conditions for implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the building industry. For that reason, a 2030 route map was presented to attract as many building organizations as possible and create clear and understandable game rules for decades to come.
In total, the IMI vision is to enable the digital integration of data and information across the whole lifecycle of the built and managed environment. Also this enhancing collaboration, efficiency, safety, and sustainability to meet the evolving needs of society, business, and the environment.
How will the new Information Management System influence the building industry?
There are a lot of benefits, which bright this new system. First of all, it helps to implement artificial intelligence in the building industry. Honestly, the integration of AI is one of the main ideas of IMS. Secondly, the system tries to decrease people’s workload, increase efficiency, and make rules clearer.
CLC co-chair Richard Robinson, whose day job is president of AtkinsRéalis UK & Ireland, said: “Effective management of trusted, quality information across the whole life of built and managed assets is a key foundation for growth, supporting a safe, healthy, and sustainable environment where people, businesses and civil society can thrive.
“Today’s launch of the Information Management Initiative, IMI, is just the latest step in a process the CLC started a year ago. Going forward, it will also require support from across the sector to bring about the changes in information management needed to become a more digitally-enabled industry.”
Fencyx, as one of the leaders in the UK building industry, is positive about the idea of implementing IMS. This decision will only help to reduce costs in the construction industry. Also it make it more efficient, which in turn will certainly contribute to growth.
