7. COMMON USE FOR BIM
Simulations (predict behaviour)
Simulations (predict and plan process/ maintenance)
Coordination (“clashdetection”)
Validation (on datalevel and domainlevel)
Knowledge mining (learning from the past)
Production/manufacturing

8. WHAT IS BIM + BOT?

10. BIM BOT CHARACTERISTICS
Stands ‘alone’
Own server
Is independent from a (BIM) softwaretool
Work autonomous / automatic
Without human interaction/interference
Returns a result (or not)
“Sleeps” until “triggered”
Can be closed source / ask money for specific features (profiles)
Is centralized for the service provider

14. IMPLICATIONS
Business case for each bot
Automating knowledge (getting knowledge to the front of the process)
Data flows between bots
Immediate feedback during work
No quest for centralisation: taking advantage of the fragmented nature of the
industry
