How BIM Technology is Being Used in Smart City Development

Building Information Modeling or BIM changes the future of cities around the globe. Serving as a digital representation of places by creating 3-D models of their physical and functional characteristics, the process is being explored in locations that would benefit from the smarter infrastructure. Building Information Models or BIMs are files that can be accessed and shared with appropriate parties responsible for making cities safer, more efficient, and better capable to account for a growing population of citizens.

Local Governments Integrate the Use of Rugged Tablets for Utility Maintenance

City planners and local government leaders are constantly looking for ways to improve and enhance city programs. For many cities tracking the progress of utility maintenance around the city can be a bit cumbersome. For many years tracking the updates of utilities around the city has been done by sending men/women into various parts of the city to check on pipes that need repairs or maintenance, utility lines that need to be installed or repaired and water plant maintenance. The information is documented by a pad of paper and pencil and then taken back to the office and entered into a computer system, leaving room for human error as well as additional labor and manpower.

Enhanced Safety and Communication for Air Force with Purpose-Built Rugged Tablets

Since September 18th, 1947, the Air Force has held the responsibility of military aviation for our country and has stood as an integral part of the United States protection. Since its conception, the Air Force has constantly aimed to employ the best technology available and climbed higher and higher in tactical and strategic dominance. Due to their constant pursuit of innovative technology, the United States Air Force is currently the largest, most capable, and most technologically advanced air force in the world. With every new year, this important branch of our armed forces search for upgraded technology to meet the ever-growing demands of an unpredictable and now, data-driven and cyber-based, world.

Construction Contractors Can Now Leverage BIM With Rugged Tablets

Building Information Modeling is one way that design firms are able to deliver projects on time and within budget but in contrast, construction firms have been slow to adopt leveraging BIM in the field. This is mostly because keeping the BIM updated and accurate can be a slow, lengthy process requiring extra man hours from already overworked staff or the input of hired-in specialists with equipment capable of the task of assessing as-built project states and updating the BIM for the project to move forward.
