The Nemetschek Group has announced a landmark collaboration with Vienna Airport. As part of this collaboration, Vienna Airport will implement Nemetschek’s dRofus dTwin solution as its Airport BIM & Facility Integration Platform (ABIGAIL), aiming to optimise operations and asset management across the airport’s extensive facilities and all lifecycle stages.
With the integration of Nemetschek’s digital twin technology, Vienna Airport will implement openBIM-based facility management to optimise process and information sharing. For this project, dTwin is deployed in combination with dRofus as the dRofus dTwin solution. The power of dRofus dTwin will provide comprehensive digital replicas of the airport’s infrastructure across its whole lifecycle, supplying a central platform that is connecting and harmonising all process relevant building and asset information from multiple sources, systems and stakeholders to support all users with up-to-date building information.
“Digitalisation is now indispensable in large construction projects. Together with the Nemetschek Group, Vienna Airport is intensively driving forward the digital mapping of its infrastructure. With the implementation of the ABIGAIL platform, all airport buildings and areas will be digitally recorded in the future – Vienna Airport will thus receive a digital twin. This will enable us to manage the construction and operation of the extensive airport infrastructure even more efficiently and sustainably,” states Dr. Günther Ofner, CFO of Flughafen Wien AG.
“We are delighted that Vienna Airport is now expanding the use of our solution across its entire lifecycle. Our software platform for digital twins is particularly well-suited for complex ecosystems such as airports”, says Sunil Pandita, chief division officer planning & design and digital twin business unit at the Nemetschek Group.
