The Year in Infrastructure 2007 - (Page 35) Digital Factory — Integration of Process Data daimlerchrysler ag finalist At DaimlerChrysler’s German digital factory — the generic term for its integrated network of digital models and methods — two different systems were being used for factory planning and process planning. The goal of the project was to increase productively by creating a bidirectional connection between the systems on a geometrical and structural level. Using MicroStation and speedikon, DaimlerChrysler has filled the gap between the workflows by integrating the data between the systems. It combines architecture, steel works, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning with the planning disciplines conveyors, logistics, body in white, assembly, and painting via referencing the files together in a 3D digital mockup of the factory. Tannhäuser Opera het muziektheater finalist het Muziektheater in Amsterdam, which is also the site of De Nederlandse Opera and het Nationale Ballet, brings in guest performers from around the world. The theater’s technical organization operates behind the scenes and is divided in various departments including décor, lighting, stage property, costumes, CAD drawing room, and stage service. One of the requirements of building huge décors is that they should be easy to dismantle and reconstruct, which makes the design even more complex. Therefore, all the stages and décors are 3D modeled and these models and drawings are used for the building phase as well as for detailed engineering. The amount of drawings for each production can be up to 300. All of this is work is done at het Muziektheater with MicroStation V8. MicroStation is also used with the planning of available spaces.
