Vitalify Asia Blog

A comprehensive guide to buildingSMART International, from the IAI era and openBIM to IFC4.3, IFC5, bSDD, BCF, IDS, OpenCDE APIs, GeoBIM, digital twins, and key open-source tools. Learn how open standards are reshaping interoperability and data sovereignty in construction.

From September 1, 2026, Vitalify Asia will rename BPM (Bridge Project Manager) to DM (Delivery Manager). This article explains why the role is changing, what DMs own, how PoC, MVP, and iteration shape delivery, and how VFA’s AI Foundation supports speed and quality.

A practical guide to designing multi-step AI systems. Learn the difference between fixed LLM workflows and AI agents, how step boundaries enable retries and testing, how to handle waiting and idempotency, and why a hybrid workflow-plus-agent architecture often works best.

A practical introduction to ISO 19650, the international standard for BIM information management. Learn its history, six-part structure, the roles of CDE, EIR, BEP and AIM, and how standardized information workflows can reduce rework, improve handover, and support collaboration.

A practical guide to ISO 23247 for manufacturing digital twins. Learn the definition, architecture, OME data models, network design, digital thread and twin composition, plus a NIST five-axis CNC implementation and lessons from real-world research.

Claude SEO is a third-party, open-source SEO toolkit for Claude Code. Explore five practical integration points—content planning, brief creation, pre-publish QA, AI search readiness, and post-publish monitoring—and learn where human marketing judgment remains essential.

A practical guide to AI API token optimization. See how conversation history, RAG documents, tool outputs and response length were reviewed to reduce input tokens from about 8,000 to 1,600 while preserving the information needed to answer users.

A practical guide to digital twins covering their history, architecture and use cases in manufacturing, cities, construction, healthcare and aviation. It also explains how they differ from simulations, the metaverse and CPS, and why effective twins do not always require 3D graphics.

Publishing more articles does not automatically build authority. This guide explains how topical coverage, semantic SEO, original value, content cannibalisation management, internal links and site architecture work together to create a coherent knowledge system for AI-driven search.

AI voice content uses two AI stages: script generation and text-to-speech. This guide explains how to test predefined voices, turn subjective feedback into requirements, manage versions, prioritize trade-offs, run group listening sessions and use post-processing to stabilize quality.

This PoC turns Google Colab into a temporary WebSocket server for speech-to-speech AI. It combines faster-whisper large-v3, Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, VOICEVOX and Silero VAD, then improves latency through sentence buffering, streaming responses and parallel TTS generation.

3D Tiles is an open standard for streaming massive 3D geospatial data. This guide explains HLOD, bounding volumes, tileset.json, differences between versions 1.0 and 1.1, use cases including PLATEAU and Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, and independent LOD control in CesiumJS.
