The key technologies driving BIM in operation and maintenance management include the following:
1. BIM + QR Code Technology
EBIM utilizes QR codes attached to devices and components to enable seamless information transfer. This technology facilitates efficient and organized interaction between BIM data and on-site information, making the processes of data collection, retrieval, tracking, and updating more accurate and convenient.
2. BIM + Chip Technology
Active RFID chips serve as a core technology for effective tracking and management within EBIM. With a signal reception range of 10 to 60 meters, these chips actively transmit signals when near a receiver. By embedding these chips into components or equipment, it becomes possible to effectively track and manage the processing, transportation, installation, and positioning of these items throughout the project lifecycle.
3. IFC Standards
BIM’s fundamental principle is integrated management, centralizing all information from various stages and parts of a construction project within BIM models. By leveraging appropriate BIM software, the construction industry fully harnesses information technology to enable data sharing across different stages and applications. This integration improves efficiency, reduces redundant work, and supports decision-making across design, construction, and operation phases.
However, the lack of unified standards—both domestically and internationally—combined with the variety of software developed by different vendors, often creates barriers to information sharing and communication. To address these challenges, the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) developed the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) standard. IFC serves as a global industry standard aimed at facilitating collaborative BIM applications within the construction sector.
