This digital shift not only enhances efficiency and collaboration but also opens new avenues for innovation in project analytics and stakeholder engagement.. 3.
bracketry which is self locating to control tolerances and is colour coded to ensure correct application etc.)The ‘intelligent’ components are small, manually handleable and accurately mass produced..
The level of bespoke production is thus focussed on far less tonnage than designs for e.g.traditional steel composite or flat slab solutions.. Repeatable, standard elements such as the brackets and temporary works are designed to be robotically fabricated directly from the digital library.On The Forge, SME Easi-Space worked with BSI to develop the standard for robotic welding of structural components:.
Digital files from the model can be sent directly to the fabricator.Certification to BSI and UKCA standards.
Fabrication of structures and components for structures up to 15 stories high using steel, aluminium and stainless steel.
Execution Class 2 requires welds to be completed to ±0.4mm on steel and ±0.0 on aluminium.This makes sure that the goals of quality, efficiency, suitability, productivity and sustainability inform every stage of the process.. By adopting a way of working that includes P-DfMA and a standard component design programme, we can achieve repeatable and consistent quality, and also facilitate operational and delivery excellence across projects.
This goal has been identified as a focus for the future of UK construction by The Construction Innovation Hub, and the application of a Platform approach is discussed within the.Construction Playbook.
Our DfMA journey.We began to use the term ‘Platforms’ (P-DfMA) while working with the UK Government Ministry of Justice (MOJ), the Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) and the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
