The Port of Gdynia Authority has signed a contract
for the implementation of a digital information management platform
called "Digital Twin of the Port of Gdynia". This is
another big step towards digitizing the processes carried out as part
of the projects at the port.
On
August 5, 2022, an agreement was signed at the Port of Gdynia for
"Implementation of a platform for managing integrated digital
information - Digital Twin of the Port of Gdynia".
The
platform, built according to the Digital Twin (digital twin)
philosophy and using the BIM methodology, is a digital representation
of a map of physically existing objects, which integrates GIS
geographic data (including hydrographic data) with spatial BIM data
in one environment.
A twin port system provides a digital
representation of current, historical and future port infrastructure
resource configurations along with related information on their
health and performance. The platform enables the presentation of data
in a flat or three-dimensional perspective and enables the
integration of spatial data with existing digital documentation
(digitized technical documents) for a single element, object or
project (according to the general-to-detail principle). The map of
objects on the platform is connected with documentation, among others
technical (taking into account various file formats) that can be
linked from internal and external data sources that are necessary for
the management and operation of the existing port infrastructure.
Access to the platform enables the management of technical
documentation throughout the entire life cycle of the facility, from
the concept stage, through the design, implementation and operation
and maintenance stages.
CDE (Common Data Environment), i.e.
the central data repository (the heart of information management), is
responsible for information management. An image of the entire
infrastructure and documentation in one place will allow timely
measures to be taken to prevent breakdowns - e.g. up-to-date and
archival visualization of the seabed at the wharfs will help to
detect the formation of shallows or trims.
The platform uses
cloud computing solutions and, thanks to multi-level security,
ensures information protection at the level of solutions used by
banks.
- The platform for managing integrated digital
information is one of the many works related to the automation of
business processes at the Port of Gdynia. "Digital Twin of the
Port of Gdynia" will enable efficient planning, analysis, data
centralization, and the mobile application will provide remote access
to data, which will facilitate and accelerate the implementation of
tasks at the Port - comments Jacek Sadaj, President of the Port of
Gdynia Authority S.A.
The platform is tailored to
the user's needs and enables the expansion of functionality with new
modules that may appear during use. The implementation is the
responsibility of the consortium of HydroBIM sp.z o.o., BIM
Association, Skan 3D Szymon Bloch.
