The potential benefits of deploying these platforms are huge.

Instead, compliance is pre-baked into the design through rule sets and parameters that are agreed up front by multiple engineers.From that point on, design compliance can then be either shown systematically against the agreed rule set or even autogenerated against it..

The diagram below shows how detailed requirements can be documented and managed through the design process, and compliance validated in the manufacture and assembly phase:.Rigorous, automated QA gives total confidence in compliance.Automatic generation of models ensures that the correct components are used and are performing within their defined parameters and also that the data is properly structured and follows all of the information management protocols.. NB Even if the models are not automatically generated, the same principles can be used to create automated workflows e.g.

scripting or use of software such as Solibri.This helps ensure that even manually created models can be checked to ensure that again all of the technical requirements and constraints are being met..

This digitisation or automation of all aspects of the design and the data attached to it, allows an automated checking process that isn’t subject to human error, so teams can be confident that the testing and certification is rigorous and holistic..

In traditional construction, data is manually tweaked, but this human interpretation and intervention can break the compliance thread.The people working in these areas, and even the people who understand the project as a whole, are separated from each other.

Chip Thinking®️ brings everyone together.It looks at a process from end to end, whether that be a manufacturing process, or a people-driven process, like a hospital.

This process is broken down into spaces where key parts of value are added.This could be a manufacturing step in a factory, or security check in an airport.
