Abstract
In the design phase, building information modeling (BIM) software has been widely employed due to its high efficiency, precision, and synergy among different teams. However, the advantages of BIM have not been fully explored in the manufacturing stage where the progress is not so transparent, and information exchange is not so smooth. To deal with these problems, a BIM platform for the manufacture of steel structures is developed in this article, which aims for the management and visualization of manufacturing progress in a steel structure factory in China. The proposed platform was developed and tested by using practical projects. The requirement is analyzed with different users involved in the manufacturing progress. The platform is web-based, where Node.js is adopted for server-side scripting, Neo4j is used for data storage, hyper text markup language (HTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), and JavaScript are used to compile user interface. Besides, a quick response (QR) code is attached to components for traceability. By parsing the BIM model exported in the design phase, essential information of components is imported into the platform, which are the data that form the basis of the following operation. By introducing the platform as a collaborative tool, the traceability and visibility of real-time manufacturing progress of each steel component are significantly enhanced. As a result, this platform can help managers make decisions, workers check quality problems, and other stakeholders grasp the manufacturing progress.
