Interoperability exists when a product or system can work with other existing or future independent products or systems, without restrictions on access or implementation. This mutual compatibility makes it easy to create a network and transfer data originating from different programs.
A lack of digital interoperability creates challenges for both businesses and individuals. A document that can only be read in a single software application, incompatible tools, inability to connect, communicate, or exchange information between applications…
To avoid these issues and the replacement or reprogramming of tools, it is advisable to choose a so-called “universal” platform that can operate within an existing IoT ecosystem.
As a result, interoperability plays a critical role in 3D building modeling and Building Information Modeling (BIM), and has become essential to the development of Industry 4.0.
