PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS168 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 1 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comERP systems via various file-based interfaces such as ADS, PXML Delegate, or CPI-XML. However, with the increasing use of BIM planning, there is also growing demand for ERP systems that can process graphical information. The key players in the precast industry %u2013 including Allplan %u2013 have developed IFC4precast, a universally recognized, uniform format for the exchange of model-based data for precast elements. This standard definition enables the exchange of commercial data in the modern IFC4Precast format. This ensures seamless, future-proof data transfer and significantly improves integration between the planning and commercial departments.Greater clarity in reinforcement plansWith Allplan 2026, concealed reinforcement information can be calculated and displayed in views and sections. Since the views are now generated fully automatically, the separate step of deriving them from the model is no longer necessary, saving time. In addition, views can now be generated exclusively with the protruding reinforcing bars. If desired, the concealed part of the reinforcement can be displayed in a different color or as a dashed line. This improvement significantly increases the display quality of reinforcement plans and supports more precise and efficient production of components.Mark numbering and fasteners at the touch of a buttonDatabase-supported position number management ensures that identical components can be found and assigned immediately %u2013 regardless of floor or project phase. This is independent of which floor the elements are located on or whether the floor is currently loaded. This innovative solution was designed for all types of components and is now available in version 2026 for the first prefabricated elements, such as fixtures, assembly groups, and welded mesh reinforcement elements.When the elements are generated, Allplan 2026 also creates the structural analysis printouts at the same time. Where a separate program was previously required, Allplan now conveniently takes care of this task. This significantly speeds up the verification process and minimizes the risk of errors. Partial safety factors can be customized and thus easily adapted to international normative requirements. In addition, individual spacing for diagonal and horizontal anchors allows maximum freedom when planning prefabricated parts. The connection means an update is available for the current version of Sch%u00f6ck Isolinks 2026, as well as for other well-known manufacturers, such as BT Innovation, Green Code, and Kappema.Conclusion: More planning in less timeAllplan 2026 redefines efficient and precise planning in the precast concrete industry and clearly shows that the future of the precast industry belongs to digital, intelligently networked processes. Those who embrace automation and digitalization can plan and deliver projects more efficiently, use resources more responsibly, and secure a decisive competitive advantage for the coming years. nFURTHER INFORMATIONAllplan Software Engineering GmbHUrstein S%u00fcd 19/1/65412 Puch bei Hallein, AustriaT +43 6245 210010info.precast@allplan.comwww.allplan.com/precast%u00a9 Allplan GmbHAllplan 2026 introduces a very high level of automation and prefabrication for sustainable hollowcore slab design and implemention.
