We had a presentation a the Digital Architecture Meetup
The third annual “Digital Architecture Meetup ‒ The Future of BIM Workflows” was held on 29 March 2023. Our BIM studio leader, Zsolt Oláh was asked to speak at the event. His presentation was entitled “BIM data science, or the journey of BIM towards machine learning”. The tribal drum live session in the room next door provided a nice musical background making the atmosphere less formal and the participants more open-minded. It was an interesting meeting point of these two separate worlds. 🙂
The event was opened by Csaba Livják with a comprehensive presentation on the BIM life cycle. He also covered numerous interesting topics, such as construction support, technical inspection based on BIM, and the scanning procedure with Boston Dynamics robots. He was followed by Zsolt’s presentation on “BIM data science”, dealing with a more technical, but rather important topic, which was BIM data and its correctness: how data is generated, how much data is included in a BIM model, who needs what data, how much of this is correct and how we can navigate in this large amount of data.
In his presentation, Zsolt described the current possibilities of data accuracy control and explained what is really necessary, what opportunities we will have in the future and what the solutions are. If you are interested in this topic, feel free to comment or message us at zsolt.olah@in-ex.hu.
The third presenter, Márk Zagorácz mainly focused on the topic of reusing completed BIM models, such as the use of VR and AR in occupational safety, or the design of automated fall protection from the structural models. We would like to thank the organizers for their work, for sacrificing their free time to organize this event and for being so active in building the BIM community.

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
