DiCtion: Digitalizing Construction Workflows
Partner session – 30th September 2020 at 13:00–14:00 (EEST)
This partner session is hosted by the DiCtion project (www.aalto.fi/en/diction).
DiCtion is a research and development project that aims at a future in which every stakeholder in a construction project has access to real-time information about the past, present, and future events of a project. The shared situation picture is made possible by digitalising construction workflows and using common data models and ontologies.
DiCtion applies technologies from three domains: building information management (BIM), construction management (CM), and supply chain management (SCM). Until now, these technologies have been separated, with little data-level interaction between them. DiCtion creates connections between these application areas, which is a game-changer in construction information management.
