Hardware and Equipment
BIMe Topic under Technical Competency: Specifying, recommending or procuring computer hardware and equipment
- 3D Laser Scanner
A fixed or mobile unit generating Point Clouds using LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) technologies
- BIM Hardware
BIM Hardware refers to computers, equipment and peripherals which are specifically needed to generate BIModels and enable particular Model Uses. The term BIM Hardware thus refers to tablets used in Field BIM and 3D Laser Scanners used - as part of a workflow - to generate as-built object-based models
- Computer Numerical Control
Manufacturing processes driven by computer code. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems automate manufacturing tasks across many types of machinery including plasma cutters, water jets and milling machines
- Computer System
The term Computer System here refers to a combination of software, hardware, databases and networks configured to deliver a pre-defined output from specific types of input
- Equipment Support
BIMe Topic under Supportive Competency: Developing specifications for BIM Hardware and BIM Hardware Deployment Programmes
- General IT
BIMe Topic under Technical Competency: Installing, managing and maintaining general IT infrastructure
- Hardware Deployment Programme
A programme (Gantt Chart or similar) covering when to deploy, replace or upgrade hardware
- Head Mounted Display
A device worn directly on the head or as part of a helmet with a small optical display in front of one eye (monocular HMD) or both eyes (binocular HMD). A Head Mounted Display (HMD) is used for gaming and in aviation, engineering, and during surgical procedures. An HMD is a primary component of Virtual Reality equipment
- Technology Infrastructure
A Macro Maturity Component representing the availability, accessibility and affordability of hardware, software and network systems. It also refers to the availability, usability, connectivity and openness of information systems BIModels
