SYSTEA façade systems – available digitally as BIM content

Henstedt-Ulzburg, 08.07.2022: SYSTEA is available with immediate effect as BIM content for all sub-structure systems in waya by BIMsystems. Planners and designers are able to position system solutions directly in their own CAD systems, to configure them and transmit important production data to the manufacturer. With this step, SYSTEA is extending their digital portfolio in cooperation with BIMsystems.

SYSTEA is digitizing facade constructions into BIM content, in order to provide optimum support for the design process using BIM
Construction projects can be digitized from the start using BIM (Building Information Modelling), and important information on design, implementation and infrastructure can be compiled and managed in so-called digital twins. For realisation in practice, amongst other things BIM conform data is required as a source of information. In order to support planners and designers with digital design work and to advance digitization of the construction industry, SYSTEA supplies its sub-structure systems as BIM content.

SYSTEA product information has been available for download as BIM content in waya since April. Our German-speaking partner waya functions as a plug-in for the ArchiCAD and Revit CAD systems and provides a link between the designer or planner and manufacturer. Along with geometric data for its construction products, SYSTEA has also integrated the associated specialist knowledge into BIM content. One consequence of this is the exceptional versatility of BIM contents on waya. Along with classic positioning of BIM content in the CAD system, our German-speaking partner waya makes the configuration of BIM compatible products possible. SYSTEA’s BIM content can be configured online and can be customized, before integrating into CAD planning and design by means of a plug-in. And in this way, costly and time-consuming manual adjustments of CAD systems become a thing of the past.

Along with the high degree of customization of BIM content, design and planning staff effectively save time when searching, selecting and positioning digitized sub-structure systems, on the basis of the neatly arranged waya interface. Jürgen Walter, Product Manager at SYSTEA, welcomes this approach: “At SYSTEA we continuously strive to simplify everyday work of our business partners. With BIMsystems. we have a partner by our side who will support us to do this. Our sub-structure systems are individual and high-quality. This must also be reflected in the digital application. This is why we put our faith in the BIM system, for it also depicts more complex system requirements and in spite of this, remains operable for the user.”

“In our world which is constantly becoming more complex, we wish to simplify our business partners’ everyday work with everything we do.” This maxim has become part of SYSTEA’s mission statement. Both when manufacturing sub-structures for facade cladding, as well as also for digital consultancy services. Using waya, SYSTEA building consultants are able to refer directly to the appropriate BIM content for design and planning enquiries, to modify them and to provide accurate copies of these to planners and designers. In this way, our company can accompany the planner or designer efficiently throughout the process, without unnecessary iterations.

The result: Architects, developers, manual crafts and trades companies and housing associations profit from loss-free networking in BIM design and planning, consultation directly in the CAD system, digitized project data, product data and information appropriate for addressees throughout the entire design and planning process.

SYSTEA guarantees up to date and accurate BIM content – at all times
BIMsystems utilises existing digitized material and product data as digitized specialist knowledge for SYSTEA BIM content. These product data are developed into BIM content via the maintenance environment linya by BIMsystems and are drawn up, managed and updated by the manufacturer itself, using specialist knowledge in the form of regulations and logic In this way, BIM content on waya is up to date at all times, and realisable for the manufacturer. „Simplifying Facades“ thus becomes the reality in design – for manufacturers, planners and designers.

This is why cladding and facade experts nowadays put their faith in waya by BIMsystems. For the high efficiency and functionality of the BIM system for SYSTEA is convincing in itself: Short throughput times and low cost and effort for drawing up the BIM content using the „linya“ maintenance environment..

waya is free of charge for designers and planners with all its basic functions! In this way, they and other construction protagonists are able to search, change, configure and position SYSTEA BIM content, as well as to collaborate with other partners in a central data model. Installing it is straightforward: After downloading the plugin and its installation free of charge, users must merely register once without incurring any costs. After this, waya is ready for use and can be selected directly from the CAD system.
