Abstract(s)
A tecnologia, presente no dia-a-dia e todos, assim como um ambiente cada vez mais competitivo, obrigaram as empresas do setor da construção civil, nomeadamente, da produção do cimento a abordar o seu processo de digitalização com urgência, de modo a manterem-se relevantes, num mercado que se encontra em pleno processo de transformação. Uma das ferramentas tecnológicas mais importantes nessa digitalização é o BIM - Building Information Modeling, num conjunto de processos, tecnologias e políticas capaz de gerir os dados de um projeto ao longo do ciclo de vida de um edifício. A sua utilização tem sido um dos principais responsáveis da inovação do setor da construção civil. Neste trabalho pretende-se analisar de que forma esta metodologia influencia a inovação da indústria do cimento, um dos setores mais importantes dentro da construção, mas que ainda se encontra a dar os primeiros passos no âmbito da transição digital. Deste modo, para o presente trabalho, traçou-se o seguinte objetivo: analisar as principais contribuições da metodologia BIM num laboratório de controlo, inovação e desenvolvimento da indústria cimenteira, de forma a perceber qual a influência que esta metodologia tem no que concerne à inovação do setor. Para tal desenvolveu-se ume estudo de caso qualitativo, tendo com objeto de estudo o laboratório de inovação de uma das principais empresas do setor. Realizaram-se, assim, 7 entrevistas a atuais e antigos profissionais do referido laboratório relativamente à temática em estudo. Os resultados
mostram que apesar do pouco conhecimento acerca do BIM, os entrevistados consideram que as suas características seriam uma mais-valia para o setor e o seu desenvolvimento,
nomeadamente, a partilha de informação durante todo o ciclo de vida do edifício, a partilha de informações atualizadas em tempo real e o trabalho colaborativo. Os principais obstáculos à implementação do BIM prende-se com o investimento associado, tanto em termos materiais como humanos, à necessidade de uma mudança profunda nos processos instaurados assim como a resistência própria de um setor bastante tradicional e envelhecido. Tendo em conta as vantagens desta metodologia, este trabalho pretende constituir um impulso para uma maior adoção desta metodologia que pode contribuir amplamente para o desenvolvimento do setor do cimento e da indústria da construção civil.
Technology, present in everyday life and everyone, as well as an increasingly competitive environment, forced companies in the construction sector, namely cement production, to urgently address their digitalization process to remain relevant in a market that is in full transformation process. One of the most important technological tools in this digitalization is BIM - Building Information Modeling, a set of processes, technologies, and policies capable of managing project data throughout the life cycle of a building. Its use has been one of the main drivers of innovation in the construction industry. In this work we intend to analyse how this methodology influences innovation in the cement industry, one of the most important sectors within construction, but which is still taking its first steps in the digital transition. Thus, for this work, the following objective was outlined: to analyze the main contributions of the BIM methodology in a control, innovation, and development laboratory of the cement industry, in order to understand what influence this methodology has on the innovation of the sector. To this end, a qualitative case study was developed, having as object of study the innovation laboratory of one of the main companies in the sector. Seven interviews were conducted with current and former professionals from this laboratory on the subject under study. The results show that despite the little knowledge about BIM, the interviewees consider that its features would be an asset to the sector and its development, namely, the sharing of information during the whole life cycle of the building, the sharing of updated information in real time and collaborative work. The main obstacles to the implementation of BIM are the investment associated, both in material and human terms, the need for a profound change in the established processes, as well as the resistance inherent to a very traditional and aged sector. Taking into account the advantages of this methodology, this work aims to be an impulse for a greater adoption of this methodology that can contribute widely to the development of the cement sector and the construction industry.
