Enhancing Facility Layouts & Retrofits with BIM & VDC
Why Traditional Approaches Fail in Facility Retrofits Facility layouts and retrofits have traditionally been designed using Product Data Management (PDM)-based tools like Inventor and SolidWorks. While these tools are excellent for equipment design, they fall short in full-facility coordination, particularly when implementing BIM & VDC for Facility Retrofits, leading to challenges in optimizing the effectiveness […]
Reshoring to America: How Global Trade Restructuring is Changing Manufacturing Forever
Why Reshoring Is No Longer Optional for U.S. Manufacturers The U.S. manufacturing landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. With global trade restructuring, supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19, and rising tariffs, manufacturers are facing a new reality: reshoring manufacturing and bringing production back to American soil isn’t optional anymore—it’s a competitive necessity. While reshoring offers clear […]
BIM: In-House or Outsourced? A Strategic Decision for Modern Construction
Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, providing a digital framework that integrates design, construction, and operational data into a seamless workflow. At OAR, we understand that BIM outsourcing is more than just a tool—it’s a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and efficiency. 🔹 Should BIM management be handled in-house? 🔹 […]
The Strategic Timing of 3D BIM Scanning in Retrofit Projects
Timing is everything when integrating 3D scanning and 3D laser scanning into industrial retrofit projects. For facility owners and project managers, one crucial question arises: When should scanning take place—before, during, or after a retrofit? In today’s fast-evolving industrial landscape, modernizing existing facilities is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. As technology advances, facility owners […]
