Layher SIM

Layher SIM – Scaffolding Information Modeling
SIM not only allows you to plan, assemble and manage temporary scaffolding structures more efficiently.
in scaffolding construction
is digital – and it’s name is SIM

Why use Layher SIM?
The aim of Layher SIM is to take advantage of the potentials of digitalisation and create added value for scaffolding construction. Dependable 3D planning of scaffolding structures without positioning conflicts is just one of the many benefits that go far beyond simple scaffolding planning itself. Added to that are the realistic visualisation of scaffolding, allowing work to be coordinated with other trades or construction sequence simulation, transfer of the scaffolding planning to structural analysis programs, and output of material lists and assembly plans.

The benefits of Layher SIM

Transparency at every step results in a reduction in costs and an increase in safety and profitability. When they work with Layher’s scaffolding construction customers, both building contractors and end customers in industry benefit from the many advantages SIM has to offer: a high degree of planning certainty, cost control and, above all, the ability to complete projects on schedule thanks to efficient and undisrupted construction processes. Delays and added costs due to inadequate planning are a thing of the past.
- Transparency in all work steps and cost control
- Exact material requirements for every construction phase
- Increase in safety and profitability for every project
- Planning and scheduling certainty in every project
- Improved planning quality and the resulting quality of assembly
- Access to BIM
Project workflow

The underlying task of Layher SIM is to perform the scaffolding planning that provides the basis and the digital twin for all subsequent process steps. One of therequired inputs is the geometry data of the object at which the scaffolding is to be erected. This can be provided in the form of existing 3D models, the resultsof a 3D laser scan or remodelling based on 2D plans. Based on the digital twin, it is possible to obtain further information as output that can be used directly forsubsequent process steps.
Layher SIM focuses on the end-to-end use of data and the elimination of digital barriers in order to ensure loss-free data exchange.
Successful scaffolding projects can be planned
The efficient construction of scaffolding and shoring structures makes a vital contribution to the overall success of building projects. The right products, good preliminary planning with Layher SIM and trained, qualified specialist personnel are the three fundamental prerequisites for successful scaffolding projects.
