Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current infrastructure construction and management practices lack an integrated system to capture the entire construction process from design to operation, leading to inefficiencies and lack of real-time data integration across execution agencies.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a computer-implemented method for managing an Infrastructure Construction Digital Integrated Twin (ICDIT) that connects to an interface management system through APIs, scans interface points, and migrates them to a class library for real-time mapping in digital renderings.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If an integrated system is implemented to capture the entire construction process, then real-time data integration and mapping capability is improved, but device complexity and system integration difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the construction management process into distinct interface points that can be independently scanned, migrated, and mapped. Each interface point represents a specific data exchange location between execution agencies, allowing the complex integration task to be broken down into manageable segments that can be processed individually through the class library migration mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary layer consisting of the interface management system and class library that mediates between multiple execution agencies. This intermediary structure enables data integration without requiring direct point-to-point connections between all agencies, thereby reducing system complexity while maintaining real-time data flow and mapping capabilities.
2Measurement precision
If interface points are migrated to class library for real-time mapping, then mapping precision and data accuracy are improved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary scanning and migration of interface points to the class library before actual construction activities begin. By pre-establishing the mapping framework and interface point definitions in the class library, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time processing during construction operations, thereby maintaining high mapping precision without excessive processing delays.
3Productivity
If multiple execution agencies operate concurrently with integrated monitoring, then construction management effectiveness is improved, but system complexity and coordination difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The interface management system and class library serve as universal platforms that can handle multiple execution agencies simultaneously through standardized interface point definitions. This multi-functional approach allows different agencies to operate concurrently with their own specific requirements while maintaining unified data integration and mapping, thereby improving construction management efficiency without proportionally increasing coordination complexity.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method includes: connecting an infrastructure construction digital integrated twin ICDIT to an interface management system through one or more application program interfaces (APIs) of one or more databases storing information showing real-time activities of two or more execution agencies operating concurrently for an industrial plant facility, wherein the interface management system comprises rules governing interface points between the two or more execution agencies; scanning, using the APIs and according to the rules, the interface points of the two or more execution agencies, wherein the interface points are accessible through the interface management system; and migrating the interface points from the interface management system to a class library of the ICDIT such that when the ICDIT creates a rendering of the industrial plant facility, the interface points are mapped on the rendering according to up-to-date information based on the real-time activities of the two or more execution agencies.
