Digital Innovation: A Three-Step Approach to Digital Transformation

The building and construction industry is feeling the effects of change more than most. This strong and rather conventional economic sector is being digitized at an accelerated pace. The Germany-based construction company BREMER SE is in the middle of a digital transformation process and has digitized its value chain. BREMER is aiming to be completely digitized within three years, re-evaluating its processes. After all, even processes that have stood the test of time for decades have to meet the increasingly demanding requirements of digitization. There are three phases of digital transformation: 1) Implementation of a common data environment (CDE) and communication. 2) Data evaluation and site management. 3) Model coordination and collaboration. With this approach, BREMER has brought together 2,500 project participants—internal and external—on a CDE within a short period of time, and the firm has since recorded steady growth in the number of users and projects.

Integrating Digital Delivery and BIM: Collaborating for a Better Solution
The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is undergoing a transformation in the way we design and construct our built environment. Two key drivers have been the adoption of digital delivery and building information modeling (BIM), and while these disciplines are often viewed as separate entities, they are, in fact, closely interconnected and mutually reinforcing. With the ability to integrate technology and data-driven insights, project teams can deliver better, faster, and smarter to meet the evolving demands of our stakeholders. In this presentation, we will explore how integrating BIM and digital delivery can result in tangible efficiencies resulting in better decision making and savings in cost and schedule. Using a case study from a major $9 billion transportation project in the United States, we will look at the integration of technology, people, and processes, and how maximizing information management practices, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Autodesk Platform Services can provide the results you need rather than accepting out-of-the-box solutions.

Allow Users to Extract Physical Properties On Demand Outside the Autodesk Fusion 360 Canvas
SimaPro, a sustainability partner, and ProtoTech, a technical consultant and reseller, are building a POC web app to demo at AU 2023, showing a web-based sustainability analysis workflow of an Autodesk Fusion 360 design. SimaPro requires mass, weight, and material to perform the sustainability analysis. Mass and weight are mass properties, meaning the company needs to extract and store mass properties for components in PIM so that SimaPro can access this data to perform its analysis in a web-based environment outside of Fremont. Currently, physical properties are extracted only inside the Fusion 360 canvas. PPE is a scalable solution that enables users to extract physical properties on-demand outside the Fusion 360 canvas using GraphQL APIs. Physical properties extraction trigger is also integrated with Fusion 360 workflows like on-milestone creation, as well as view physical properties in Fusion Team.

Jacobs' Operation Cases on Automation and Analytics
Jacobs manages multiple large-scale projects each year. One of the challenges is to manage all the users within the Autodesk Construction Cloud platform, as well as their assigned project products, roles, and companies. Another challenge is to visualize users' permissions on different folders within one page without clicking through each folder. To solve these problems, Jacobs worked with Autodesk to develop a user management dashboard via Autodesk Data Connector. Jacobs also extracted users' folder permission information using Autodesk Construction Cloud Connect, maximizing Autodesk Platform Services. A data pipeline was set up to streamline the data into Power BI for better visualization. In this session, we'll describe these projects, from inception to deployment, and we'll cover the technical instructions and the efficiency we've achieved. The presentation will also cover BI development from raw data extracted from Autodesk products, which are transformed into actionable insights that inform tactical business decisions.

The Lifecycle of a Data Center in Autodesk Platforms and Applications
The global market for computing power is increasing exponentially, and the biggest challenge the industry faces is how to deliver the required physical infrastructure fast enough to keep up. For data center owners and operators—many of whom are the largest companies in the world—it is a strategic imperative that they find new ways to accelerate how they plan, design, construct, operate, and optimize their data center facilities. Autodesk provides a range of products that owners and operators can use to help meet these objectives, but they're rarely used in a fully integrated manner throughout the life of a data center. In this session, Gafcon Digital (an Accenture company) will demonstrate how Autodesk products are being deployed on behalf of data center owners and operators for a variety of processes throughout the lives of their facilities, showcasing the use of Autodesk applications (such as Revit software, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Autodesk Tandem software) and platforms.
