Both Systems Engineering (SE) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are being applied more and more on engineering projects. Although these two methodologies do offer a lot of benefits, they are often applied removed and isolated from each other resulting in various challenges

Excessive actions needed to capture data

Illegible methods in requirement verification

Poor coordination of digital quality reviews

Consultants discussing Building Information Modeling

An integration lessens the number of processes required to register metadata. Secondly, by combining the two methodologies SE and BIM in the right way, it allows for a more visual approach to requirement compliance.

And finally, by connecting the information from both methodologies, a more cohesive dataset can be created. This allows for an improved coordination of qualitative reviews, as well as an heightened awareness of meeting requirements amongst designers. Integrating SE and BIM creates a better overall view and control of requirements (from SE) in relation to their applied subjects (in BIM) across the various engineering processes.

Semmtech offers consultancy and tools to help implement such SE-BIM integrations within projects and organizations.

General Manager BU Europe, BESIX

Jan van Steirteghem

“Semmtech was able to advise BESIX (and BESIX clients) on the importance of Information management in the AEC industry and how it can help organizations to perform better (i.e. higher compliance/quality with less resources / cost). Their knowledge of data semantics and data structuring in combination with very hands-on use cases and tools is unique in the industry. I have not found, to date, a competitor that is able to provide a solution like Semmtech that is scalable across projects and entire business units / companies.”
