BIMprove CWA: How the position markers work in detail?

Standardization achievements: a working committee with members of the BIMprove team together with external experts has prepared a CEN/CENELEC workshop agreement: “Position markers for digital applications on construction sites, structural monitoring and BIM-applications”. This workshop agreement CWA standardizes markers to be used by modern digital applications: devices like (laser-) scanners, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality devices and others, that are increasingly used by the construction industry. They all require precise geometric information of some reference points to determine their own position and orientation. The CWA now offers a standardized procedure allowing surveyors to provide this geometric data and to make it available in an efficient way. By defining the layout of markers, the working procedure and also a standardized way of human-/machine-readable data transfer, the CWA will help with integrating new technologies into the construction industry. It also ensures, that everybody works in the correct project coordinate system, thus helping to reduce error potential and workload. The final version will be presented to the public for consultation and comment and its final version published in autumn 2023.
