JFE ENGINEERING INTRODUCES ARAYA'S BIM/CIM LINKED CRANE SIMULATOR FOR BRIDGE SITE PLANNING STUDIES

August 22, 2023
Corporation Araya

WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE BIM/CIM LINKED CRANE SIMULATOR (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "THE SIMULATOR") PROVIDED BY ARAYA(LOCATED IN CHIYODA-KU, TOKYO; CEO: RYOTA KANAI; HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS " ARAYA") HAS BEEN INTRODUCED AS A BRIDGE SITE PLANNING STUDY SIMULATOR BY JFE ENGINEERING CORPORATION (LOCATED IN CHIYODA-KU, TOKYO; CEO: HAJIME OSHITA, PRESIDENT; HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "JFE ENGINEERING"). JFE ENGINEERING CORPORATION (HEADQUARTERED IN CHIYODA-KU, TOKYO; HAJIME OSHITA, PRESIDENT; HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "JFE ENGINEERING").

■Background

With the implementation of the Workplace Workplace Reform Act and other measures accelerating efforts to improve productivity in the construction industry, JFE Engineering has been one of the first in the industry to promote on-site reform through DX that utilizes ICT and advanced technologies. In this context, the BIM/CIM (*1) linked crane simulator provided by Arayahas been introduced to JFE Engineering for planning studies at its bridge sites.

■About this simulator provided by Araya

Arayais aiming to create a digital twin (*2) of construction sites utilizing AI and IoT. As part of this effort, this simulator enables 3D dynamic simulation of cranes on the Unity simulator using BIM/CIM data and other data as input. This is expected to improve productivity by streamlining the review process at the planning stage and facilitating the coordination of perceptions among the parties involved.

 

Functions and Features

    • Dynamic crane 3D models
      Dynamic models can be created from BIM data or 3D CAD models, regardless of crane manufacturer
    • REFLECTION OF BIM/CIM DATA AND ON-SITE POINT CLOUD DATA
    • Sling Attach
    • Suspended load routing
    • Suspended load route display
    • collision detection

INTRODUCTION OF THIS SIMULATOR AT JFE ENGINEERING

This simulator can easily check the path of suspended loads and check for collisions as part of the crane layout study using design information, and it can also reflect point cloud data acquired separately on site in this simulator, contributing to checks and studies that respond to daily changing site conditions.

JFE ENGINEERING COMMENTS:

THE CRANE PART INFORMATION CAN BE ASSIGNED TO ANY 3D MODEL, SUCH AS SLEWING BODY, BOOM, HOOK, ETC., GREATLY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CRANE TYPES THAT CAN BE USED AS 3D DYNAMIC MODELS. IN ADDITION, THE ABILITY TO PARAMETRICALLY MANAGE THE CRANE MOVEMENTS OF BRIDGE GIRDERS FROM GROUND CLEARANCE TO ERECTION MAKES IT EASY TO EDIT THE CRANE MOVEMENTS AS THEY CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME."

■Future

ARAYA(HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS "THE COMPANY") WILL WIDELY PROVIDE THIS SIMULATOR TO USERS WHO HANDLE LARGE STRUCTURES IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND OTHER INDUSTRIES, THEREBY CONTRIBUTING TO SOLVING PROBLEMS IN THE INDUSTRY. IN ADDITION, BY INTEGRATING THE AI AND ALGORITHMS OF ARAYAINTO THIS SIMULATOR, WE AIM TO FURTHER IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF WORK.

*1: BIM/CIM
Building/Construction Information Modeling
In the fields of building and civil engineering, a computer-generated information model that includes mainly three-dimensional geometry information as well as attribute information such as name, area, material and component specifications and performance, and finish.

*2: Digital twin
Technology to construct a virtual world (simulator) based on real-world situations and information, and to perform visualization and simulation, etc.
