Digital design for manufacturing plants
Digital tools enable manufacturers to respond to a rapidly changing sector landscape.

In the face of constantly shifting legislation and competition, as well as the unknowns of climate change, our tools can help companies diversify their offerings while increasing the flexibility and resilience of their operations.
Digital integration can transform the way we design and build for industry and manufacturing. By integrating digital tools into both the design process and the project’s everyday operations, we can design more efficient spaces and operations, achieve net zero buildings and obtain operational insights that help reduce costs.
The value of BIM
Arup’s approach to design and engineering focuses on integration of project teams, which both speeds up a project’s timeline and makes for a more efficient and responsive facility. We use Building Information Modelling (BIM) to create a digital version of a project, which streamlines design timelines and allows for iterations and simulations of the project, leading to optimised design and resource allocation. During virtual inspections, the project teams can discuss technical challenges and find suitable solutions together. And BIM's centralised database ensures comprehensive project documentation, promoting greater consistency and uniformity to effectively manage your data.
Digital Manufacturing Ireland (DMI) is an industry-led centre designed to support the country’s next wave of manufacturing.
Our engineering and planning consultants and designers placed a strong emphasis on masterplanning and initial design, working to identify a spacious site that would offer a flexible and scalable environment to accommodate potential growth and evolving needs.
Leveraging cutting-edge digital tools, we streamlined the design timeline by prioritising BIM-driven project delivery. The design was developed through flythrough 3D models intricately linked with analysis packages utilised by the design team. This approach significantly reduced review time for the client while providing a tangible understanding of the look and feel of the building.
