BOM vs BIM - Two Industries, One Data Challenge

The conversation delves into the relationship between digital twins, BIM, and PLM, highlighting challenges in managing digital information across the construction lifecycle. It explores the impact of the Morandi Bridge collapse, the evolution of expertise in the industry, and the challenges of AI and data management in construction. Additionally, it addresses the unique nature of construction projects, asset management challenges, and the role of BIM in existing infrastructure and refits. The conversation delves into the application of digital twin technology in civil infrastructure, highlighting the challenges of capturing digital information for old buildings and the cost considerations. It then explores the challenges of data flow architecture and the need for a single owner to manage product data flow. The discussion also touches on the potential impact of machine-built buildings and the convergence of PLM and BIM in the context of industrial facilities and infrastructure in the built environment.
