POWERBIM is a solution to give an answer to one of the most important problems that appear when the digitalization of the AECO sector is becoming a reality, the problem is the DATA that is always growing and it’s difficult to manage, coming from multiple sources, not only included in BIM models, but also coming from external sources of data, including real-time data, multimedia, and others.

POWERBIM organizes functionalities, datasets, and BIM / digital uses by dimensions, 1 dimension or N dimensions can be activated for each project at any moment, and data management can be used in a multi-project and multi-user mode, connecting the stakeholders with different roles and accessibility to data and functions, integrating virtual components to physical devices, building and energy management systems (BMS / EMS / CMMS), IoT sensors or unmanned devices, POWERBIM integrates multiple technologies in a cyber-physical ecosystem for building performance.

1D – Data validation / Auditing using rulesets / EIR compliance (ISO 19650) / SQL integration

2D – Documents and Multimedia for Asset Management / Sheets and Deliverables Management

3D – BIM data management with Power Bi integration, BIM federation

4D – Timeline management for Design / Construction and Operations

5D – Quantity Takeoffs / Bill of Quantities / Sales and Tenders Management

6D – Digital Twin integration to IoT / BMS / EMS / CMMS / Simulations / Advanced Analytics

NOTE: Users will first initiate the basic subscription with 2D + 3D dimension activated only and limited scope, prior to contract a pilot project to include more dimensions and functionalities for a full scope in the pro subscription.

POWERBIM deploys an easy-to-use digital twin platform for property owners, facility/construction, and project management companies, architectural, engineering, building/infrastructure operators, and any kind of stakeholder working at any stage during the lifecycle, so all they will be able to manage project data in a structured way and to create relationships between datasets created by others.

Powered by Autodesk Platform Services (Formerly Forge), Microsoft Azure, and other multiple cloud platforms, POWERBIM deploys automation processes between the BIM Common Data Environment by Autodesk® BIM 360® or Autodesk Construction Cloud® platform (Autodesk Docs) and cloud services to perform data analytics from BIM models integrated into other multiple sources of information, using a bi-directional integration to Power Bi API and IoT service providers (Azure, Siemens Mindsphere, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and others), together with collaborative functionalities like Bim Collaboration Format (BCF), Asset Management, Space Management, and others.

POWERBIM© is a product created by BIM6D© company from Barcelona, intended to get the power of data for smart buildings integrated into smart cities.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

For a basic subscription, the admin user will be able to activate 1 BIM360 project or Autodesk Docs project to use in POWERBIM, and to assign an editor role to one user, who will be able to create BIM data reports using the Power BI bidirectional integration. There will be unlimited guest users with read-only permissions.

POWERBIM users will need to be BIM360 / Autodesk Docs users with access to the same project activated in POWERBIM. There are 3 roles:

-admin: The admin will be able to activate/deactivate projects, and assign roles to other users, also will be the user who is in charge of the subscription payment and to manage the dedicated server time consumption and SaaS monitoring.

-editor: each project should have at least 1 editor to be able to use the functionalities like creating reports/groups/issues, and others

-guest: Guest users are the ones who are consuming the data and exploring the work done by editors. While guests are not paying subscription-like editors, they are consuming credits of POWERBIM in their usage (credits are related to time-consuming)

For pro subscriptions, the admin users will have the possibility to manage unlimited projects and to contract multiple editor subscriptions. Multiple dimensions different from 2D + 3D will be enabled. For example, the 6D dimension will be unlocked for IoT / BMS / EMS / CMMS / Simulations and advanced analytics integrations, other software/device integrations will be possible by contracting a system integration service.

To be able to contract a pro subscription, we first need to create a pilot project to unlock specific dimensions and to integrate required technologies on demand by the customer to POWERBIM. Databases can be located on-premise or in secure cloud servers located in specific datacenter locations.
