In an article in the Wall Street Journal, it was announced that a software and structural system manufacturing company, Prescient, will debut its integrated and standardized AEC platform at the 2013 American Institute of Architecture (AIA) National Convention, June 20-23 in Denver. Prescient’s platform works toward streamlining the AEC process for multi-unit buildings such as apartments, condos, senior and assisted living communities, hotels, and student and military dormitories. The software will integrate design and engineering of its framing system with project plans during the architectural design process and generates a bill of materials back to Prescient’s production facility for design-to-production manufacturing. From that information, Prescient can deliver and install the panelized structural system. Robotic welding is used by Prescient’s manufacturing process to achieve high throughput efficiencies and very tight tolerances. This integrates engineering, architecture, manufacturing and construction into the panelized process.
At the AIA convention you will be able to see a two-story mockup of the Prescient framing system. Prescient is dedicated to greener structures. -Wall Street Journal Tags: AEC, AIA, American Institute of Architects National Convention, architecture, construction, engineering, Prescient Categories: AEC, architecture, BIM, building information modeling, Cloud, construction |
