BIM and Mixed Reality for the New Management of Storage Area

The fourth industrial revolution that has touched the last decades, has involved several sectors including the construction world. The digitization and automation of industrial processes has implemented the development of connection platforms that can communicate many information for different users such as Smart Glasses or immersive headset. Most of the time, innovation does not only concern the technological field, but involves the entire organizational and managerial sphere. Digitization allows new tools such as Building Information Modelling to expand its application scale, making it an excellent tool for integrating and sharing data with their own information management systems (MES). The aims of this contribution are reproducing a virtual warehouse through parametric digital modelling, to which all the management data have been associated; for example, the average stock, the rotation index, etc. Thanks to the export of the database extrapolated from its management system of the analyzed industry, it was possible to define the correct visualization of the virtual model, interrogating the real data coming from the real warehouse. Through Smart Glasses, the user of the area could allocate the products in the correct position and update in the cloud the information properties associated with the individual product and the entire department. The use of virtual platforms for the visualization and the sharing of the data, facilitate the optimization of the industrial processes.
