The 14th European Conference on Product & Process Modelling (ECPPM 2022) was held in Trondheim, Norway, from September 14th to 16th, 2022. The conference, organized by the European Association for Product and Process Modelling (EAPPM), brought together professionals from various fields of architecture, engineering, and construction to discuss the latest trends and advancements in product and process modelling.

ECPPM 2022 focused on several key topics and applications, including sustainable and circular-driven digitalization, data-driven design and decision support, environmental product documentation and data management, digital-enabled collaboration, virtual design and construction, automation of processes, expert systems, enabling technologies, frameworks for implementation, human factors in digital application, and digital innovation.

Sustainable and Circular Driven Digitalization:

The conference emphasized the importance of sustainable and circular-driven digitalization in the construction industry. This includes the use of data-driven design and decision support systems to assess and document sustainability information throughout the lifecycle of a product. Data management is also crucial in collecting, processing, and presenting environmental product documentation (EPD) and product data templates (PDT).

Digital Enabled Collaboration:

ECPPM 2022 highlighted the role of digital technologies in enabling integrated and multidisciplinary processes. Virtual design and construction (VDC) emerged as a key tool for collaboration, allowing stakeholders to work together in real-time and streamline the construction process. Automation of processes, such as design and engineering processes, parametric modelling, and robotic process automation, was also discussed to improve efficiency and reduce waste.

Expert Systems:

ECPPM 2022 explored the use of expert systems in product and process modelling. BIM-based models were emphasized as a means to facilitate model and compliance checking, ensuring that designs meet regulatory requirements and industry standards. Expert systems can also be used to generate simulation models and predict performance outcomes.

Enabling Technologies:

The conference covered a wide range of enabling technologies, including machine learning, big data, artificial and augmented intelligence, digital twins, semantic technology, sensors, and IoT. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize the construction industry by providing real-time insights, optimizing processes, and enhancing decision-making.

Frameworks for Implementation:

ECPPM 2022 discussed the importance of implementing frameworks for product and process modelling. International information management series (ISO 19650) and other international standards (ISO), European (CEN) and national standards, digital platforms and ecosystems, and human factors in digital application were highlighted as key frameworks for ensuring consistency and interoperability.

Human Factors in Digital Application:

The conference also emphasized the importance of human factors in digital application. Digital innovation, the economy of digitalization, client, organizational, team, and individual perspectives were discussed to understand the challenges and opportunities associated with digitalization in the construction industry.

Over the past 25 years, ECPPM has established itself as a leading event in product and process modelling. The conference has played a significant role in shaping the future of the construction industry by promoting innovation, collaboration, and sustainability.

ECPPM 2022 showcased the latest research, technologies, and practices in product and process modelling, providing a platform for professionals to exchange ideas, share experiences, and collaborate towards a more sustainable and efficient construction industry.

In conclusion, ECPPM 2022 was a successful event that brought together professionals from various fields of architecture, engineering, and construction to discuss the latest trends and advancements in product and process modelling. The conference emphasized the importance of sustainable and circular-driven digitalization, data-driven design and decision support, environmental product documentation and data management, digital-enabled collaboration, virtual design and construction, automation of processes, expert systems, enabling technologies, frameworks for implementation, human factors in digital application, and digital innovation. The conference's focus on these key topics and applications will contribute to the development of a more sustainable and efficient construction industry in the years to come.
