The construction machinery industry entered the digital age quite some time ago. Always with an eye on the market, GEDA has been driving the development of GEDA CENTRAL. This convenient platform allows digital tools for the hoists and all GEDA services to be used with one single account.
The GEDA BIM CENTRE is the new portal integrated into GEDA Central. BIM – building information modelling – is currently a buzzword in the construction industry. Which is not a surprise, as digitalisation and process optimisation are advancing in this sector as well, and some countries have already had “mandatory BIM” for a while!
BIM is not a computer program or a file type, though. It is a process that provides information throughout the entire life cycle of a building and enables networked planning and collaboration between different technical sections. While all this is based on 3D models, the focus is clearly on information – the “I” in BIM. BIM objects therefore contain meta data, e.g. information on maximum installed height, load capacity, electrical connection data.
The GEDA BIM CENTRE makes digital planning, coordination and construction process simulation very easy – and brings the networked “construction site of the future” a big step closer. As a part of GEDA CENTRAL, the download and information platform was created to offer a comprehensive range of GEDA hoists and accessories as downloads in different file formats for use in BIM processes and for traditional computer-aided planning.
The model data for the popular GEDA transport platforms 500 Z/ZP and 1500 Z/ZP are already available now. The portal is being expanded continuously, with more products and information added.
The special feature of the GEDA platform: In addition to high-quality, configurable BIM objects and conventional CAD models, the currently valid standard drawings and general technical data for the respective equipment can also be obtained from a clearly structured central source, quickly and easily. This is particularly helpful for the bidding process: All relevant information can now be accessed directly and without additional work.
In addition to the direct access from GEDA Central, the GEDA BIM CENTRE can also be accessed as a guest without prior registration at bim.geda.de and soon also at www.geda.de.
In the construction machinery sector and at global construction sites, GEDA has been renowned for offering unique quality and made-in-Germany expertise for 90 years. The company has developed a comprehensive product range over the decades: From compact 60 kg wire rope lifts for workmen and versatile transport platforms to person and material hoists – the GEDA range could not be any broader. This is complemented by industrial elevator product ranges for permanent use in power stations and cement works, offshore plants, etc.
