Acero Estudio sharing knowledge

Posted on by admin-javier

On Tuesday, the 30th of March, we had the pleasure to share with Vestel Ingineering our knowledge and experience working with 3D Laser Scanner and drone technology.

With the help of Juan Antonio Ortiz Rodríguez and David Torromé Belda, we showed the different advantages of both technologies and the importance of having a drone and thermographic camera in data collection.

We would like to thank David Mora Negrete and Ricard Martínez Pla, among others, for their great welcome. It was a very interesting day and, most importantly, with an audience very interested in the content!

Given the special circumstances, the event was carried out respecting all security measures. The training was carried out in shifts and in a place with enough space to carry out the activity with the peacefulness that we all need during these times.

If you are also interested in training and would like to learn more about these innovative technologies in the industry, take a look at 3-D Laser Scanner and Drones.

New service in Spain

The incorporation of new technologies is part of the spirit of our company. Among the different services we offer, we can find the service of drones in different fields of application, specially developed for years in the Delegation of Peru.

Taking advantage of the knowledge and experience acquired during these years, we have incorporated this service in Spain in order to help all our customers in their projects in the fastest and most effective way. For this purpose, we have a team of drones, qualified pilots and operators, trained to develop any project.

The result of this expansion of drone services through a strong commitment to this technology is a reality. Thanks to the use of drones, we can combine topography and photography, thus obtaining cartography, digital models and orthophotos in different types of activities; civil engineering, industrial, archeology and architecture among others.

There are many advantages that are achieved by applying this technology in projects, so what are you waiting for? Visit our website and contact us for more information.

SCAN to BIM and COVID-19 Campo Grande Station, Valladolid

Posted on by admin-mbl

Our team has carried out the 3D laser scanning of the Campo Grande Station of Adif, located in Valladolid, in full state of alarm.

The team was able to move around and execute the scanning tasks of all the facilities of the station, both inside and outside, where they found a different scenario than usual. The nature of the high traffic of people had been reduced to a minimum, allowing the scanning tasks to be accomplished in full daylight and with the area practically deserted.

Scan-to-BIM, is a process composed of three main actions: scanning, data recording and modeling. When it comes to surveying the existing conditions of a building or infrastructure, laser scanning is a technological tool that offers multiple advantages over conventional methods. Every day its demand increases, especially at present times, when we are facing a pandemic in which security measures force to reduce the mobility and the concentration of people.

At this point, 389 scans were made with the Faro Focus 3D X330 scanner, in which all the essential information, measurements, volumes of high quality images and dynamic range (HDR) and millions of 3D points were collected in seconds, with a full 360-degree capture range, where the resolution, quality of the points and light capture were adjusted to suit capturing objects and spaces from multiple points of view, different lighting conditions, size of interior spaces and distances to facades.

As a result, once the data obtained was already processed, both point clouds and 360 images, using the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, the 3D model of the station was created with a high level of detail and precision, reaching the “LOD 300” Development Level for all the rooms of the building, both on the facades and in the interior spaces. An as-built model, which contains the relevant information of the building, allowing future interventions or maintenance actions to be performed effectively, saving time, resources, obtaining accurate measurements and higher quality in the visualizations.

In conclusion, Scan-to-BIM, is the right technology to perform this kind of work overcoming the difficulties associated with the security measures implemented by the COVID-19, ensuring that it is a fundamental technology to keep the sector and projects in motion, as well as directly benefit the needs of the stakeholders, offering new opportunities that significantly reduce the physical presence to fully understand the parts that make up a project.

We thank our client TYPSA for the trust placed Acero Estudio in our team of BIM Consultants and the effort of coordinating and directing the work carried out.

BIM: a working methodology that has revolutionized the classic design systems

BIM Revolutioning the classic design systems

BIM ¿ What is it?

In the management of construction and building projects, ¨Building Information Modeling¨ (BIM) is a working methodology that has r-evolved the classic design systems based on CAD plans, combining geometric (3D), time (4D), and costs (5D), environmental (6D) and maintenance (7D). Grouping all this digital information greatly facilitates collaborative work between the different areas and the optimization of human, technical and cost resources.

It is noteworthy that, against what many may think, BIM is not a software, but rather a work method that is framed in the context of collaborative culture and has led to a substantial transformation in the design, building  and the management of the assets in construction sector.

BIM establishes a transversal workflow for Architects, engineers, builders, developers as well as a  communication channel between all those involved in the process, generating a virtual model with all the information related to the building (design, technical, structural, installation, etc. energy efficiency, economic, materials, commercial, execution phases, maintenance, administration, etc…). 

It is important that all agents know in details the BIM method and its tools, therefore, from our headquarters in Valencia we provide  BIM training since the handling of different types of software and the compatibility and interoperability between them . BIM Consulting Services are crucial for the proper implementation in each project.

Advantages of BIM VS Classic method

  • Automatic updating of the information in the entire project when it is edited in any part of the model. Real-time modifications serve to update the rest of the project parameters. 
  • Real time development under continous supervision of the client .
  • There is no loss of information between the different agents despite of using different versions of software. 
  • A transversal communication flow is established that enhances collaboration and takes advantage of the contributions and know-how of each agent. 
  • Technical information, costs, deadlines, etc. are available at all times ,facilitating and improving handling task.
  • These benefits translate into bigger efficency with shorter lead times and costs.

Acero Estudio & BIM

Is the BIM methodology mandatory in EU?

The answer is yes for public building tenders. Since last December 17, 2018, the date imposed by the European Union to require its use in construction projects subject to public financing, but due to its advantages it is also increasingly used in private projects .

Acero Estudio, with headquarters in Valencia and based in Perú, has a multidisciplinary team with proven experience, and has developed a multitude of BIM projects on the five continents.

Digital Twin in the Industrial environment: A reality

Posted on by admin-mbl
Gemelo digital

Digital transformation is unstoppable in all areas. Today, it is a need and also a reality to which the industry is gradually adapting to continue evolving towards Industry 4.0. In an increasingly digitized society, the emergen of new and disruptive technologies such as, especially artificial intelligence, big data or digital twins are promoting and speeding up this change.

Digital Twin, What is it?

These virtual replicas of real industrial devices or processes create “live” digital objects, which replay in real time any change produced in their physical twin, not only in their mechanical parameters, but also in their performance and future evolution.
However, both the digital twin, and the progress and implementation of similar technologies, for their application require the connection and integration of other tools or technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence, machine learning for the automation of the learning and also big data in order to take advantage of t all the data that is obtained.

Without the proper processing of the obtained data, the digital twin cannot perform in its best way or bring all its benefits to the industry. In spite of everything, and although it seems somehow quite futuristic, many companies in the industrial sector are beting on the digital twin and are incorporating it into their production processes every day.
Actually this could be an option, but in a few years, the majority of productive and manufacturing companies may have to implement this type of technology or they will be out of ¨the competition¨.

gemelo digital en la industriaMain advantages of the digital twin:

  • Obtaining a protected and safe environment in where to experience future processes and projects.
  • Testing and scooping potential changes in new scenarios and approaches.
  • Preventive maintenance plan to avoid errors and interruptions in manufacturing processes.
  • Reducing margin of error and failures in operations and processes.
  • Result predictions and yeild improvements.
  • Optimize production parameters.
  • Reducing production costs of existing and future products.

Present and future

It is clear that not all the industry is already prepared to take up this challenge, there are still some elements that must be improved , especially those related to digitization and, above all, the complexity of storing and processing the big volume of data generated by a digital twin.
Ultimately, digital twins are, without any doubt, a disruptive technology in the simulation and analysis of industrial processes, capable of obtaining maximum benefits from the digital transformation of the plant or its processes, a real transformation, in which several companies are already involved in, and for sure that it will be intensified in the coming years.

In Acero Estudio we offer digital twin solutions, mainly focused to Engineering companies, Architects, Construction Companies, Manufacturers and Promoters. Further information
