SYSTRA Digital Engineering Innovation Strategy

In 2018, SYSTRA launched an R&D program called DEV4BIM to benefit from the building information modeling (BIM) data created in our projects, and move toward a data-centered engineering approach. This strategy has been closely linked to an Autodesk strategy, and it promises to develop a more data-centered and open platform that gives us the possibility to develop our own digital solutions that we can integrate into efficient digital engineering processes. This class will showcase the key results of these four years of R&D and the impact on our BIM program. We’ll also share our lessons learned on the Autodesk journey toward this platform-as-a-service approach. The second part of the class will provide insight into our digital twin innovation strategy and our expectations toward Autodesk to help us ensure effective WLC data continuity. Indeed, we’re convinced that efficient collaboration with editors is key to developing digital twin solutions and services to develop sustainable asset management of railway infrastructures.
