In order to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the field of large-scale plant construction, the requirements relevant for construction site logistics planning as well as the planning and controlling of logistics processes in large-scale plant construction using digital models are being investigated within the framework of the research project BIMLog. In this paper, the planning-relevant requirements and their description are presented in an ontology as the basis of a digital planning.

Discrete-event simulation of logistics and production systems plays an important role in the context of digital transformation. Its integration into modern planning and control processes is urgently required in order to realize Industry 4.0 concepts. In addition, simulation models will be an important part of the so-called digital twin in the planning and operation. However, the requirements for simulation models and tools are not yet comprehensively defined, and technical solutions have not been adequately implemented. This article presents the fields of action for the implementation.
