In this respect, Bauer records all relevant construction data systematically and digitally, networks it in a targeted manner and analyses it automatically. Against the backdrop of this digital construction site, the data management software b-project was developed. The software has now been nominated in the Construction Work/Construction Method/Construction Process Category at the Bauma Innovation Award 2019.

"The b-project software is a central tool for digitally collecting, linking and analysing all relevant data when executing a project," explained Florian Bauer, member of the management board at Bauer AG and responsible for the area digitalisation.

"The digital equipment data arising from our drilling rigs form the basis of the construction reports generated in b-project," said Prof. Dr. Sebastian Bauer, managing director of Bauer Maschinen. This actual construction data is automatically fed back into the quality documentation and performance report, thereby representing central interface points in the system.

"The design data from planning can be linked with the actual data from construction", Florian Bauer continued. The automated approach reduces the work involved in documentation and testing and facilitates a standardised, automated and effective optimisation process for the construction site. "The software also offers a wide range of options in terms of visualisation, from evaluations in table form or graphical evaluations as a 3D model.

"Our aim for b-project is to reduce the work involved in recording, linking and analysing the various data so that we can identify possible optimisation measures quickly and reliably. An innovative approach for the projects of the future," concluded Fabian Bauer.
