» MARS-Rover Project Update
The Mobile Augmented Reality System (MARS) Rover project focuses on an image-based localization system via 3D point clouds - produced by photogrammetry methods as well as laser scanning and RGB-D devices. It provides “on-demand” and “mobile” access to project information on commodity smartphones and tablets, with or without BIM. More
» Eye in the Sky Project Update
This project focuses on the safe and efficient operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with visual sensors to produce accurate and complete 3D captures necessary for monitoring construction projects. The real-time identification of actual and potential performance issues during construction -- via contrasting the produced 3D maps and 4D BIM -- empowers project managers to take corrective actions and enables projects to stay on schedule and on budget.

» IIMM-P&ID Project Update
The ISO 15926 P&ID/3D Information Models and Proteus Schema Mappings (IIMM-P&ID) project is approaching completion with a final report in progress to be issued this summer on advancing information exchange within the capital projects industry for industrial process systems in conformance with ISO 15926. The key objective for the IIMM-P&ID Project is to extend the Information model and Proteus XML schema to support the requirements of complete P&ID exchange. More
» ISDD Project Update
The ISDD Project will provide the methodology to capture existing Industry Standard Datasheets (ISDs) as machine interpretable business objects which are fully re-usable, mappable and extensible. The effort will capture high-value properties from existing, high-value, ISDs published by the credible industry associations including ISA, API, PIDEX, IEC and ISO. More
» Digital Signatures
Building upon the release of the Fiatech “Practical Deployment Strategy for Digital Signatures,” this project completed the initial survey work to identify and gather best practices on the adoption and implementation of digital signatures. Recent changes within the digital signatures industry are now being reviewed and an updated survey on practices, adoption, and implementation strategies is being planned for this summer. The Best Practices Guide will be written and released in late Fall of 2016. More
» PATS and Leadership Initiatives
Fiatech has now locked in on the methodology, along with the enabling technology, necessary for realizing 12 Productivity Advancement Targets including over 400 organizational behaviors and practices conducive to enabling success.
To facilitate effective communication and convergence on success enabler solutions, Fiatech is developing an integrated and collaborative framework, which provides the visibility, coordination, and information consolidation needed to fully confront and overcome challenges to sustainable productivity advancement.

» Real-time Field Reporting (RTFR)
Deliverables from the completed RTFR Projects will allow users to determine which mobile IT applications bring the most business value to their organization from a construction, information management, and O&M standpoint. The deliverables provide knowledge on existing and pending mobile IT implementation that support real-time information exchanges, evaluate the ROI users can expect, and
identify the challenges and upfront costs involved. More
» BIM Supported Life Cycle Management
Th is project was presented at the 2016 Construction Research Congress and at two 2016 Society of American Military Engineer Conferences. The project research is complete and the published report will be available here. Participating in Fiatech PAT 11 will grant additional access to our findings. More
» PIF Project Update
The Piping Management PIF Project expanded the PCF (Piping Component File), piping data exchange tools to establish an ISO 15926 SuperPCF that provides achieve smooth piping data flow from design to construction, and ultimately to owner/operator handover. In the typical capital project lifecycle, piping files get created multiple times through the project delivery and lifecycle due to inadequate and improper information exchanges and procedures. More
» Autocodes Ph. 3 Project Update
The Fiatech AutoCodes project is a project focused on the transformation of the building code review process, leveraging digital data & technology to change the industry from a manual paper-dependent process to a digital review method. The project team, led by Target Corporation in cooperation with Kaiser Permanente, Solibri, and Avolve Software, is in the process of expanding the original minimum modeling matrix and have identified a facility – a medium to large KP hospital in Woodland Hills, CA – for the pilot project.More
» Cognitive Companion Exploratory Project
|
Fiatech’s Horizon-360 Team, with IBM and Black & Veatch, initiated a look into the applicability of cognitive computing, a.k.a. artificial intelligence, to address cost, safety, and scheduling issues facing the construction and capital facilities industries. Since then, three potential project areas are receiving further analysis in consideration for the Fiatech Cognitive Companion Exploratory Project in 2017. More
» Fiatech Member Participation Plans
To assist new member “on boarding” in Fiatech, the Fiatech Board sponsored development of a Membership Participation Plan. The Plan is a one page high level document with an optional second page to further describe member’s specific participation action and resource commitments. The Member Participation Plan is available on the Fiatech website on the membership benefits page.
