Data provision for enriching BIM models

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is the virtual representation of a real building. All building information is collected and exchanged in it. As a manufacturer of specialised products for the drainage and ventilation of flat roofs, Sita Bauelemente's products are used in a wide range of applications in the construction industry and therefore also in the selection of materials.

The strength of BIM lies in the information. All available information can be called up at any time during a building project. It is therefore important that product information is integrated correctly. This also applies to the special product range of Sita Bauelemente. The xmedia PIM system offers ideal solutions for organising and distributing product information.

The company:

For decades, the name Sita has stood for expertise in drainage, emergency drainage and ventilation of flat roofs. The experience of several million components produced can be found in each of the products, because Sita is a problem solver. Together with the specialised trade, architects, planners and users, you will find optimal solutions for drainage and ventilation systems. Today, Sita is active in many European countries and produces 2,000 saleable items for the drainage of flat roofs. You know how important good product quality is for an excellent end result. That's why you want your products and systems to provide a perfect starting point for work in the building industry.

The task:

Preparation of product information and integration into BIM structures

Maintenance of product information
Ensure availability of formats for internal industry software
Comply with export specifications
Publication of product models on the company's own website
Publication of product models on the BIM portal Heinze.de

Technical implementation

A Sita product in every building means a Sita product in every BIM in the long term. The first step was to enter the product information into the xmedia PIM system in order to guarantee smooth implementation later on. In addition, a geometric template was created as a BIM master by the external service provider Heinze. This created a suitable starting point for implementation.

The ViewEditor module can now be used to provide the product features in accordance with the specifications. This is done in accordance with the DIN standard as a CSV export file. It can also be used to create various formats for common BIM models (Revit, ArchiCAD) with integration directly from xmedia. This ensures the free planning of products and content for later publication.

Print automation without time-consuming programming. The DataGenerator is another module from the publication area and captures complex text structures and processes them in line with planning. With different versions and cross-references, listed product features quickly accumulate, so clarity is particularly important.

These modules work hand in hand with other modules of the xmedia PIM system. For example, the JobControlCenter controls the automation processes and minimises human intervention while simultaneously increasing process quality. Thanks to the centralised user interface, the xmedia PIM system is committed to clarity and traceability in task control.

This means that Sita Bauelemente's product models are published both via the company's own website and via the Heinze.de BIM portal. Product identification is simple and clear, so that they are always available for modelling in BIM projects.

The right Sita product in every BIM project

Thanks to the efficient PIM system xmedia, this goal is now closer than ever. The correct product features are summarised and provided as a CSV file in accordance with the DIN standard for BIM projects. Various formats can be used and linked to product data provided by the system at any time. The Sita product models for BIM applications are published both on the Heinze portal and on the company's own website and are available for download.
