DIGITALIZATION AND WATER SYSTEM DESIGN: ROTOTEC’S DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM
From system configuration to BIMbased workflows and technical documentation, digital tools are helping professionals access information more efficiently and streamline design activities. Against this backdrop, Rototec has developed a comprehensive digital ecosystem that connects product selection, engineering design and technical resources through a range of interconnected platforms and services.
Digital transformation is reshaping the construction and engineering sectors, introducing tools that enhance efficiency, design accuracy and access to technical information. In the water management industry, this evolution is increasingly driven by digital platforms capable of streamlining both technical and decision-making processes. Within this framework, Rototec has developed a digital ecosystem that combines system configuration, BIM-based design and interactive technical documentation.
Digital support for rainwater system design and BIM workflows
A key component of this strategy is Rototec App, a web-based platform designed to support the configuration and preliminary sizing of rainwater harvesting systems. Through an intuitive interface, professionals and end users can select tanks, filtration systems and accessories according to specific project requirements. By processing key design parameters, the application generates technically consistent configurations, helping accelerate both preliminary engineering activities and quotation requests. Users can also access product information and obtain rapid cost estimates. At present, the platform is available exclusively in Italian.
Alongside digital configuration tools, BIM-based design has become increasingly important across the engineering and construction sectors. To support consultants, engineering firms and designers, Rototec provides a comprehensive BIM Library including Revit families and templates (RFA and RTE), IFC models and technical resources in XLS, DOCX and ADSKLIB formats.
Developed according to consistent parameter structures and standardized data criteria, these resources facilitate product integration into major BIM and CAD workflows. Interoperable models and validated technical documentation contribute to improving design efficiency and data quality throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Connecting design, products and technical Information.
Rototec’s digital strategy is further strengthened by the availability of Digital Interactive Catalogues on the company website. In addition to providing immediate access to technical and commercial information, these tools offer a more dynamic user experience compared with traditional printed catalogues, simplifying the search for products, applications and technical specifications. Online availability and downloadable formats also ensure rapid access to up-to-date documentation whenever required during the design process.
Online configurators, BIM libraries and interactive catalogues are increasingly becoming complementary tools within the broader digital transformation of the engineering supply chain. Through these solutions, Rototec helps improve the connection between design activities, product selection and technical information management, delivering a more integrated and efficient approach to modern water management projects.
