The architecture, engineering, construction and operations industries are increasingly confronted with more challenges. To meet demands for more resistant and sustainable environmental technology, he plays a critical role in helping our industry achieve a common goal: to build better together. This means reinventing how work in architecture, engineering, construction and operations is done, strengthening productivity and promoting better results.
Next year, we will continue to see that the AECO industries face the challenges of profitability, efficiency and sustainability with the help of technology. From innovations to artificial intelligence to the adoption of digital twins, we will see that emerging technology redefines as the innovative industry design, develop and operate the built environment.
The IA will continue to adopt -as a daily tool
We will see that the practical uses of the IA continue to take great steps in the daily applications that solve problems in the real world. In water, automatic learning solutions can allow designers to predict flood maps quickly and precisely. In construction, natural language search tools generated by AI can easily pass the information that teams need to do the job. Ia tools can help equipment analyze and analyze the valuable data mountains they generate.
Because AI’s capacities as Autodesk Assistant are even more integrated into daily workflows, designers, engineers and contractors will see their time released to focus on a more strategic and creative work. The industry is eager for these capabilities, as 44% of AECO professionals cite improving productivity as the most important use for the AI, according to the design state and the Autodesk report. 2024.
Technology will support more sustainable results
Although the built environment generates an impressive amount of greenhouse gas emissions, construction teams have the opportunity to be more proactive in achieving their sustainability goals with the help of technology. Next year, continuous digital transformation throughout the industry will allow companies to better use their project data, including new tools that improve the results of the sustainability of the project.
Ai -embodied carbon analysis tools help designers understand and measure carbon footprint from their material and design options from the first day of planning. This means that architects can understand the impacts of their carbon design options embodied in the early phases of planning instead of the end when their design is almost completed. The solutions that unlock industrialized construction, which allows production for buildings, will help the industry to offer projects faster, with higher quality and less waste. We have already seen the advantages of an industrialized construction approach through the work of customers such as the WSP at Manchester Airport. WSP was able to reduce the number of components used to build each structural airport node from more than 5,000 to 67.
Well, is it not spatial? Geoschial, that is to say
With the help of better integration, we will also see more technology than the data and the context of the real world, allowing better results of the project. Adding Sig data (Geographic Information Systems) to BIM tools (Creation Information Modeling) that designers already use, teams can design taking into account location and offer more sustainable and resistant projects.
The lack of awareness and context of the location can adversely affect the life cycle of the project and the commitment of the interested parties. Taking better integration will be especially important for infrastructure owners and public sector organizations to support their communities with critical infrastructure they can rely on. We have seen that transport customers brightens BIM and GIS tools to provide greater efficiency in their projects and even use data analytics to provide better solutions for despised communities. With many public sector organizations that face more and more complex projects, with environmental demands in society, they will need the right information to ensure a sufficiently support project.
Digital and XR twins become more common
Expect to see the continuous adoption of technologies that support innovation and collaboration in the entire BIM life cycle, including digital twins and the extended reality (XR). Digital twins can equip the industry with real -time views and data based on all stages of the project’s life cycle. For owners and operators, a digital twin helps them unlock the full value of their facilities by means of a better tracking and managing their assets. We have seen that customers successfully use real -time historical data and captured by their digital twin for benefits such as moving from reactive maintenance and more predictive approaches.
XR tools in AECO will also create the workspaces of the future; I hope we will see more companies use XR next year to create immersive design review spaces. These virtual spaces provide geographically scattered teams a new way of interacting with their designs and collaborating with the interested parties. Offering a new way to analyze and visualize data, equipment can streamline work flows and reduce errors before construction begins.
To improve the built environment
I am excited by the progress that the AECO industries have already made towards digital transformation and their embrace of new technologies. As we start a new year, I want to see how you continue to design and make a more sustainable world for nearby generations.
