The BIM/PLM Digital Process


Operamed’s fully digital process leverages BIM (Building Information Modeling) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) technologies to optimize every phase of the project, from planning to production, ensuring multidisciplinary coordination, reduced clashes and full control over timelines, costs and outcomes.

Integrated digital design for complex healthcare environments


Through BIM (Building Information Modeling), Operamed develops a shared digital model that accurately represents the physical and functional characteristics of the environment, allowing technical solutions, timelines and costs to be defined before construction begins.

Integration with PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) transforms the model into a continuous operational tool, extending control to the production phase and ensuring consistency between design, engineering, manufacturing and installation.

The result is a digital vision that perfectly matches what will be built, delivering greater reliability, risk reduction and full predictability of the intervention.

The Operational Process


01.

Tender design


At this stage, Operamed develops a preliminary BIM model used to define layouts, technical solutions and the overall building services strategy.

The model supports feasibility studies, cost estimates, constraint analysis and coordination with the client and involved designers, providing a clear technical foundation already during the tender phase.

Executive design


The BIM model is developed to executive level, fully integrating architecture, MEP systems, technological systems and modular components.

At this stage, clashes are resolved, clearances verified and all construction details required for production are defined, minimizing variations and critical issues on site.

Production


The BIM model is connected to the PLM system, becoming an operational tool for engineering and component production.

Each element is coded, tracked and manufactured with millimetric precision, ensuring consistency between design, fabrication and delivery timelines.

Installation and commissioning


Installation is carried out based on a fully defined and validated project.

Prefabrication and advanced planning enable fast, orderly installation aligned with the digital model, simplifying commissioning activities and reducing operational interference.

From digital model to reality


The benefits of the BIM–PLM process

A single project for all phases


One digital model supports the project from tender to execution, ensuring coherence and continuity across all operational phases.

Digital integration of all disciplines


Architecture, building services, technological systems and medical components are coordinated within a single BIM environment.

Digital twin of the built environment


The digital model faithfully represents what will be constructed, enabling full verification before construction starts.

Control over the entire project lifecycle


The BIM–PLM method enables structured management of design, production, installation and maintenance.

Rapid generation of executive drawings


Construction drawings are extracted directly from the BIM model, reducing development time and design inconsistencies.

Fast engineering for production


Integration with PLM enables rapid transformation of the project into data ready for industrialized production.

Reduction of errors and rework


Early clash detection dramatically reduces errors, late changes and corrective activities on site.

Fast revisions


Any design changes are managed directly within the digital model, with immediate and controlled updates.

High overall efficiency


Digital continuity between design and production improves the efficiency of the entire process.
