AECCafe Technology Wrap-Up of 2021Thursday, December 16th, 2021Much of 2021’s important news had to do with response to climate change, coupled with the Covid-19 response for businesses. Technologies have been in place for many years to respond, but the time is now, and actually the time is yesterday, to respond to these critical social and environmental issues. Digital twin technology and artificial intelligence are front and center in addressing these challenges. Reducing the world’s carbon footprint is a major priority for most organizations and technologies are being lined up to address this priority. Urban Digital Twins Contribute Toward the Race to ZeroFriday, September 24th, 2021“What are digital twins and specifically urban twins?” This was the question is posed at the beginning of the webinar by Michael Jansen, founder and CEO of CityZenith in a recent webinar hosted by CityZenith and ABI Research. They are virtual replicas of buildings, infrastructure and physical assets, fully interconnected with the data in and around them. Digital twins can provide actionable insight for optimization in design, engineering, construction and operations through simulation and prediction of future outcomes.  Lamina Tower, Red Sea, Saudi Arabia Changing Landscape of the New Normal in AECFriday, March 12th, 2021Dr. Nelson Ogunshakin, CEO of FIDIC, hosted the first of a series of webinars arranged by FIDIC’s committees, entitled FIDIC Covid-19 Webinar Series 2021 – Working in the New Normal. The webinars focus on a wider range of topics of interest to Member Associations and companies within the consultancy.  The Nightingale hospital in Harrogate will revert to its original use as a convention centre IMAGINiT Clarity 2021.1 Release Addresses Real World Work-From-Home and Security ChallengesFriday, February 26th, 2021More customers working remotely coupled with increased frequency in cyberthreats over 2020 has spurred the release of IMAGINiT Technologies Clarity 2021.1 suite of products including new security features. AECCafe Voice Industry Predictions 2021 – Part IIIThursday, February 11th, 2021An interesting by-product of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the reworking of technologies to fulfill requirements presented by the need to work remotely, as well as address the way we will work on face-to-face projects that are essential to the AEC industry. The need to visualize large amounts of data will propel the expansion from data acquisition to data analytics and business and operational insights. Office spaces of the future may be repurposed for additive manufacturing as the maker community takes off with more entry-level machines, making it more accessible to more people. Drones are becoming smarter, and more field personnel are able to make use of them.
AECCafe Voice Industry Predictions 2021 – Part IIThursday, January 28th, 2021Industry predictions for 2021 launch from what technologies are in place, and which technologies have been relied upon during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even after the pandemic scare is over, industry professionals believe there will be a heightened need for technologies such as AR/VR/MR/XR to allow staff to collaborate remotely. Digital twins, remote working, off-site manufacturing, hybrid work situations and new ways of handling volumes of data are all predicted for the future, as fortunately they were already tools we could utilize before the pandemic. AECCafe Voice 2021 Industry Predictions – Part 1Friday, 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.
AECCafe 2020 Year End Technology Wrap-UpSaturday, December 19th, 2020It goes without saying that the Covid-19 virus has upended our lives and industries around the world beyond most people’s imagination and not in a good way. Most people I speak with want 2020 to end, eager to herald the start of a new year and new beginnings.
Executives Offer Profound Perspectives at Bentley Year In Infrastructure 2020Tuesday, December 15th, 2020Year in Infrastructure 2020 Executive Perspectives held on October 29th, 2020 with Greg Bentley and Satya Nadella featured discussions with the following executives:
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. |
