4th Industrial RevolutionDigital Transformation
About Industrial Revolutions……
Each Industrial Revolution redefines us…We are what the technology is not …..
Industrial Revolutions are always good for
consumers
They are often turbulent times for the supply side, periods of huge wealth re-distribution and social upheaval…..
YOUR COMPETING AGAINST PEOPLE WHO USE THE EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES BETTER THAN YOU
YOUR COMPETING AGAINST TEAMS WHO CAN EXECUTE MEANS AND METHODS BETTER THAN YOU
Other sectors in Australia are undergoing transformative change……
• Mining• Global logistics
AUSTRALIA IS BIG IN AUTONOMY
What does real
productivity
improvement look like?
Fortescue $US 40 / ton to less than $US13 /ton over 5 years
BHP $1B / Year Cost Reduction
The logistics sector ……
Global freight through to the early 1970s
Shipping and logistics runs on a
global common data
environment platform – GS1
MEP needs a Common Data
Environment that supports
engineering, procurement and
life cycle asset management.
International Container Services - Melbourne
Global LogisticsThe Australian AEC Sector ……Australia’s AEC sector, more than any other globally has been defined by D&C project procurement
The ability to commit to and execute means and methods seems to be better internationally.
Some other factors that we need to address……
DECARBONISATION OF ENERGY AND THE SMART GRID
GPT PORTFOLIO DEGASSIFICATION
DECARBONISTION OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IS ALREADY UNDERWAY
75 kWh Tesla Model 3
15.7kWh is the average household energy consumption

We need to sort out a practical set of digital deliverables for asset management
And we need a Common Data Environment that supports asset and maintenance analytics.
GLOBAL STANDARDS ALIGNMENT
Uniclass classification
NCC / AUSTRALIAN DESIGN CODES
We haven’t nailed BIM standards
AEC 4.0BIM / Digital 2025
Today we launch …….
A Structured Naming Convention based on Design/Trade Disciplines
A new MEP CDE shared parameter scheme with a single point of truth
A new approach to digital data workflows that the entire AEC supply chain can engage with
Fabrication Parts for Electrical Containment
A Structured Naming Convention based on Design/Trade Disciplines and roles.
Specialist Disciplines covering all phases of the building life cycle.

One-model version upgrade at the start of the virtual build.
THE ABILITY TO MODEL A BUILDING’S ISO/ IEC BASED POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FROM THE MOTOR TO THE TRANSFORMER IS NOW CRITICAL
The new digital supply chain
Finally, we need sector specific digital deliverables.
Design community commitment to the naming convention and also the shared parameter scheme.
Design and construction community to define the BIM IFM and shared parameters and give message to these big international firms.
We all love bespoke design, but standards drive efficient MEP workflows.
What we need from here, …..
