AECCafe Voice 2021 Industry Predictions – Part 1
Friday, January 15th, 2021What will we look forward to in technology trends, design trends, and developments in BIM in 2021? Artificial intelligence and machine learning will help the “aided” in computer aided design, according to Piet Lelieur of BricsCAD. For GRAPHISOFT, the machine-driven process tends to clash with creative disciplines such as architecture – however, according to Akos Pfemeter, we see examples of the ways it can assist in construction security, generative design, and other areas.

- Chris Bradshaw, Chief Marketing Officer, Bentley Systems
To begin with, Greg Bentley spoke about the past year at Bentley Systems:
Greg Bentley, CEO, Bentley Systems
“This year has been about confluence of infrastructure and resilience. We have been a privately held company for 36 years and now publicly held. Those interested can view our investor relations website with all our performance listed there. BSY is the ticker symbol for Bentley on NASDAQ. Usage in our apps hit a trough earlier in the year yet returned to earlier levels by June. Infrastructure engineering is mission critical; professionals are able to be virtualized, advancement in going digital is greater this year as well as in 4D construction modeling. We’ll continue to see that grows every year as construction is about occupancy of space and time and that’s ever more important after a pandemic and forever.
800 Bentley colleagues are working on solutions with digital twins on perils we may not know and anticipate. Our own colleagues have been virtualized working at home, working on work-at-home for users as well.
Digital Twins for Infrastructure Resilience Infrastructure
Infrastructure resilience sustains our economy and environment. Infrastructure is advanced by infrastructure engineering and empowered by infrastructure engineering software, so we recognize our responsibility as an infrastructure engineering software company. For investors we inform them, break revenues down by end market.

Hovermap Offers Smarter Lidar Technology for AEC
Thursday, September 3rd, 2020In a webinar recently presented by Emesent, the discussion was entitled “Smarter Lidar Technology for Infrastructure and AEC: better data, greater insights.”
Peter Dickinson, project manager for Emesent and Business Development manager for the Americas Dave Jaunay introduced customers who were using Emesent’s Hovermap sensor system for various challenging environments. It has been used extensively in mining and underground environments and land surveying.
The company Emesent is based in Brisbane, Australia with a staff of 38 but rapidly growing to meet global demands. The company aims to solve the problem of collection of data – in GPS-denied or challenging environments. The need to automate the collection of data, gave birth to the Hovermap for mine and roads, tunneling, indoor mapping and search and rescue, anywhere where maintaining a signal for GNSS solutions is problematic.
