A BIM-Model usually comprises building components such as walls, ceilings, struts, windows, doors, etc. In rare cases also, technical components and equipment. Especially when it comes to 3D-post-documentations of existing buildings the data collected is limited to the above-mentioned building components due to financial reasons. Further factual information is vital for documentation, inspection and maintenance…
We´ve mentioned the topic Flexibility (read about it here) in a couple of our blog-posts before. Little attention has been paid to a very important aspect within every single project of ours: Flexible Object- and Hierarchy Structures. We will change this with the following words. The master data structure in speedikon® C is exclusively dependant…

With speedikon® C we are following a different approach: The customer is not forced to adapt to the system because the system adapts fully to the customers’…
A while ago we dedicated two separate blog posts to the topic of automatic data collection. Today we want to talk about data collection in combination with our WiriApp. Unlike with many different mobile processes the process of the mobile metre data collection is usually executed when the devices have no online connection. This is…
We dedicated our last blog post to imports of graphical (and alphanumerical) data. Floor plans are, once the configuration is set by the users or our consultants, uploaded into the data base via the systems interface. In practice, multiple levels have to be linked with their respective graphical representation within the system. Thus, the phones…
How is our alphanumerical and graphical data imported into speedikon® C? This is one of the key questions asked by many of our prospects and customers. We differentiate between alphanumerical and graphical imports. All imports are performed simply by any user (provided that the user is authorised to do so) via the systems interface. The import…
