Research reaching practice
A Bosch Campinas facilities-digitalisation report uses Professor Amir’s BIM-uptake review alongside its account of completed industrial BIM pilots.
How the research was used
The introduction cites Professor Amir’s paper to explain how richer, structured information can support collaboration between project teams. The case then documents drone inspection and photogrammetry, scan-to-BIM and a shared digital collaboration environment. The research connection is the information-and-collaboration rationale within this industrial implementation account.
The documented contribution
