Today, the wide application of BIM technology penetrates all aspects of the industry, driving the digital transformation of the entire life cycle of engineering projects from planning and construction to operation and maintenance.
However, for engineering construction projects with huge systems and complex structures, almost all BIM models are faced with problems such as large volume, multiple formats, and miscellaneous data. , Reporting and other work, it is impossible to demonstrate the plan smoothly, fully convey more details of the project, hinder the accurate expression of the plan, and affect the review experience.
At this stage, model lightweight is still the main solution to ensure the smooth operation of large-scale BIM models. How to improve the model carrying capacity and the depth of BIM application is a problem that the industry continues to explore, and it also puts forward higher requirements for the performance and functions of AEC software. Require.
As a provider of digital twin software and services, Shanghai Piaoshi Network Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Piaoshi") has focused on the localized independent research and development of graphics engines since its establishment, and launched the PiCIMOS digital twin PaaS development platform, which is rooted in cities, In fields such as electric power, water conservancy, transportation, and emergency response, it helps industry partners complete digital construction efficiently and with high quality.
Gaze at the digital twin world
It is very surprising that PiCIMOS, as a zero-code 3D graphics engine, has unexpectedly received the attention of a large number of professional BIM development users. Most of the users reported that the data volume of the project is getting bigger and bigger, and they urgently need a high-performance 3D engine, first of all, to solve the problem of model performance.
For example, traditional project reports mostly use PPT and video as the main means of presentation. At first, there are thousands of innovation points and hundreds of application functions. Highlight the key points during the reporting time and flexibly respond to various unexpected problems.
In foreign countries, interactive reporting has become common, but the current mainstream rendering engine is insufficient for model carrying capacity. As far as engineering construction projects are concerned, it lacks GIS capabilities; game engines solve the problem of model loading to a certain extent, but frequent updates are time-consuming and labor-intensive. There is no efficiency at all.
Secondly, more and more project requirements run through from consulting to operation and maintenance, and are even applied to scenarios such as leadership inspections and marketing.
Once the project enters the operation and maintenance stage, how to integrate massive business information systems, integrate 3D assets to form a digital twin, and realize data-driven real-time twins, so as to truly meet the needs of business dynamic management and continue the value of platform data... These are in the project development From the beginning, it is necessary to coordinate the plan.
After the operation and maintenance work starts, the investment in labor costs such as pre-sales, product managers, UI, and front-end development will greatly affect the delivery cycle of other projects, and it is difficult to recruit satisfactory new employees in a short time.

Whether it is digital platform project development or in-depth communication with users, the entire R&D team is deeply aware that BIM is the basic capability of digital twins, and the application scenarios are infinitely approaching digital twins.
This makes us start to think, use CIM thinking to bridge the huge gap from modeling to modeling, based on the zero-code capability, so that everyone can visualize huge data in 3D, form a well-founded decision-making aid, and let BIM play an important role in engineering All aspects of construction are efficiently developed, fully interpreted, expressed and applied.
CIMPro is a 3D engineering development platform extended from PiCIMOS. Help users use BIM more macroscopically, more comprehensively, and more three-dimensionally in the links of reporting and demonstration, auxiliary design, and engineering operation and maintenance.
