Empirical Validation of BIM-to-Digital Twin Transformation for Smart Mobile Factories: a Case Study

Abstract: The BIM approach has become a standard in the construction sector, supported by improved data-sharing protocols across software and regulations promoting its extensive use in various countries. The Digital Twin concept is needed to fully use BIM at the dimension of Building Management). This transformation involves automatic and bidirectional data updates and data collection through sensors and actuators linked to the static BIM model. This article explores a real case study that tests an initial interoperability framework between BIM and DT.
