BIM is playing an increasingly central role in how electrical systems around electric motors are planned, and this is reflected in the latest BIMobject Awards, where ABB was named the most downloaded brand in the Electronics & Electrical category based on global 2025 data.
The ranking shows that architects, engineers and designers worldwide are routinely using ABB’s digital models when specifying power distribution, protection and control equipment for motor‑driven installations.
The company’s BIM library covers wiring accessories, switchgear and circuit protection, EV charging hardware and smart building controllers, delivered in formats compatible with major CAD/BIM platforms. By integrating these objects from the earliest design stages, project teams can size supplies correctly, coordinate mechanical and electrical layouts and cut down on clashes and rework during construction—critical benefits for factories, buildings and charging hubs that rely heavily on electric motors.
Because the same models can underpin digital twins, operators also gain a solid data basis for commissioning, maintenance and energy‑efficiency optimisation over the full lifecycle of an installation. Dedicated BIM experts support designers throughout projects, with the long‑term goal of making the entire electrification portfolio available in BIM form so that everyone involved in motor‑intensive facilities can work from a consistent, up‑to‑date set of digital electrical components.
