On June 17, our consortium partner DEMO Consultants held a hands-on technical workshop to explore and demonstrate one of their innovations.
Watch Reincarnate Workshop on interfaces to existing databases and planning tools’ innovation
Brief description of the innovation and its role in the Reincarnate project
During the workshop the participants were walked through the end-to-end functionality of the DDT system—from QR code generation by manufacturers, to on-site scanning and enrichment of BIM models, and finally to querying enriched models for analytics and reuse potential. Participants had the opportunity to test the CPIM platform and its integrated iPad app, experiencing firsthand how a simple scan can capture delivery data and automatically link it to specific elements in a BIM model.
The workshop clarified how the DDT supports traceability, accountability, and enriched decision-making by:
- Capturing data on delivery and installation via a QR-enabled process.
- Storing information in accordance with REINCARNATE’s ontology and IFC standards.
- Enabling on-site personnel to enrich BIM elements with minimal effort.
- Allowing analysts to query BIM models using a visual interface and export structured data for further analysis or predictive modelling.
Discussions also addressed the tool’s current limitations (e.g. single-element enrichment per scan, iOS-only availability), and outlined scenarios for future development—including handling multiple deliveries per element and aggregating material parameters over time.
As we move into the demonstration phase of Reincarnate, this workshop laid a solid foundation for validating the added value of the Digital Delivery Ticket in real-world scenarios—especially in managing data for materials like concrete, where precise tracking is crucial for sustainability, compliance, and future reuse.
Stay tuned for further updates as we pilot this innovation across Europe’s construction sites!
