In the last five years Iloura has grown from a single facility employing 30 artists to two facilities that peak at 240 artists.  Over the course of this journey our use of Shotgun has evolved and changed from a basic production management tool to something that is integral to our tech and production pipes and something that provides integrated facility management systems across HR, Operations, Recruiting, Sales, VFX Producing and Finance.  This presentation details the evolution of our use of Shotgun and how Shotgun has been integral to Iloura’s success at all stages of our growth path

In August 2015, Arkansas Children's, Inc. announced plans to build a freestanding children's hospital in Springdale, Arkansas. The new building, Arkansas Children's Northwest, will include 235,000 square feet of inpatient beds, emergency care, diagnostic services and clinical space. The hospital's construction and facilities team assembled a detailed set of data specifications to streamline the handover of the building and jumpstart operations & maintenance. The goal was to have all equipment data populated in the CMMS (maintenance management system) by substantial completion in the fall of 2017, to allow for critical maintenance processes to be in place prior to completion. To realize that vision, TME led an initiative to drive the successful transition and handover of asset data before the end of the project. This presentation walks through the planning, design, and construction phases of the project as well as the beginning of operations.

While still new to some, leading organizations are integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) and facility management workflows to deliver impressive results. Simplifying building handover, improving space management, and streamlining maintenance planning are just a few of the benefits. But how do you get there? Defining BIM deliverable guidelines and resolving contractual and process issues are first steps to ensuring the model is a usable tool that becomes an essential part of a facilities management strategy. But how do you gather the needed data from all the stakeholders in the building lifecycle and deliver on the owner’s requirements? What makes a successful project handoff? As leader of the FM:BIM working group for FM:Systems, Marty works daily with organizations as they implement BIM into their facilities strategy. Join Marty Chobot as he discusses best practices in collaboration as learned from customers like The MathWorks, Xavier University, and the Iowa Department of Corrections.

This class dives into our cross-divisional project at Autodesk for the making of a SmartBridge inside our Pier9 facility.We'll walk through our case study where we used structural analysis, Eagle, Revit and Forge to design and plan the layout of sensors onto an interior pedestrian footbridge. Using sensors for strain, acceleration, temperature, pressure, humidity, sound and cameras, we created the "nervous system". We then integrated all this live sensor data into Autodesk's cloud environment, and used Forge to bring all the data into one context on top of the BIM.Using data at the centre, we'll show you how we learned from the data to create various machine learning analytics for interacting with people on the bridge. In our class, we'll go over how we applied big data analysis techniques, machine learning, computer vision and visualization in the cloud to make our bridge "smart".(Joint AU/Forge DevCon class).

SYSTRA provides consulting services on all the lifecycle of a mass transit and rail infrastructure. Digital transformation of our industry is more and more mature and moving fast. International collaboration on IFCrail or UIC RailTopoModel is clear evidence that we are entering a very exciting period. As an engineering firm dedicated to this market, we address our client needs throughout the life of the rail assets, from transport planning to operations and maintenance. During this class, we will share with you SYSTRA’s vision of this digital transformation and how digital innovation drives our digital strategy, from digital solution for transport planning to digital asset management services. We will focus on Hyperasset, our program to develop in-house solutions to manage the rail assets during the operations and maintenance phase, from the territorial scale down to the catenary object, using all the available technology such as the Forge platform.

We’ll be sharing our experience in building equipment monitoring and control and using IoT for smart buildings. We’ll demonstrate what is required to build a solution for monitoring and control of IoT and building equipment through Forge Viewer.?We’ll be using the “iviva Lucy” iPaaS service to demonstrate the concepts and walk the audience through a code level example. The audience will learn the basic requirements of two-way communication with IoT and building equipment, how to turn Forge Viewer into an operational portal, and how to enhance operational experience by integrating third-party services such as Microsoft Power BI into Forge Viewer.

What are the benefits of the integration between BIM (Building Information Modeling) and geographic information system (GIS) in infrastructure facility management? This class will demonstrate how combined usage of Esri GIS data and tools and the as-built intelligent models enables your organization to do the following: monitor the entire railway or road integrating the intelligent model into the environment. The use of GIS data like geological surveys, interferometric data, and historical data regarding hydrogeological risks can let us prevent infrastructure damages; plan preventive and corrective maintenance merging data from intelligent models and GIS information, for example, choosing the optimal route to reach the point of interest; choose optimal solutions that respect the environment by exploiting the functionality of specific tools (for example, solar exposure and irradiation); and communicate effectively with the team distributed throughout the territory.

This discussion will focus on CREFTS' (Corporate Real Estate, Facilities, Travel, Safety, & Security) BIM 360 Ops internal Autodesk deployment, and offer a glimpse from concept to deployment across the Autodesk portfolio. We'll review the steps taken-from planning, pilot, and deployment-and discuss our pathway to success and how we're using BIM 360 Ops software from projects to building operations. We'll share best practices, insight into rollout, and a glimpse of where we're heading with automation and machine learning.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) for infrastructure has rapidly emerged to transform the way transportation and civil infrastructure agencies, organizations, consultants, and contractors plan, design, and construct their projects, and maintain, operate, and manage their assets. BIM and CAD are effective tools for project delivery and they’re even more valuable when integrated with geographic information system (GIS) to provide asset management. This class will provide value-based deployment strategies, best practices, challenges, and case studies of successful BIM-CAD-GIS projects.

Got CALC? In Revit software? If you’re a fire protection engineer working in Revit, you need to run industry-standard hydraulic calculations and reports. Design your system in native Revit without any third-party tools, or with anyone’s third-party tools. You can calculate any Revit fire protection system using SprinkCAD’s SprinkCALC software for water-based sprinkler systems. Standards supported include NFPA 13 and 14, EU12845, BS5306, CEA4001, AS2118.1, NZS4541, and FM DS03. Also supported are fluid delivery time calculations for dry-pipe systems—so you can be sure about when the water will be there. We’ll also display the new SprinkCAD for Revit tools. These include the following: the Revit Family Builder, letting you create complex families in seconds without any knowledge of RFA construction; and Head-Connection tools for fast drawing of sprigs and drops, armovers, flex piping, and even entire ranges of branches with the Auto Branch line generator.

SYSTRA expertise in bridge has started developing design capabilities for a High Speed Railway line and for an Elevated Metro line with the system integrated concept of the U-shape viaduct. We are now designing bridge structures for all types of transport modes including long-span bridges such as Chacao bridge in Chile, and road causeways such as The Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Causeway in the gulf of Kuwait. With the US-based company IBT, newly acquired in 2017, SYSTRA has reached in 2018 the 8th rank of the International ENR ranking for bridge engineering.This expertise is strategic to SYSTRA global capacity to deliver mass transit or rail infrastructure worldwide. That's why at the early stage of our BIM deployment we focused in developing internal solutions and design workflows that meet our clients needs and enhance our design efficiency and quality. This class will give you a global view of our internal BIM program for bridge by presenting our design solutions and project applications. The ambition of this program is to increase the efficiency of our engineers and the robustness of our design when creating the bridge assets and is aiming to provide to our client a digital twin of their infrastructure that is fitted for use during operation and maintenance. You will see how our bridge experts have embraced BIM in their design workflows from early stage to construction design using applications such as "BIM in One Click" for linear infrastructures or CABLOA for pre-stressing design.We will also share our feedback on 3D reinforcement design using Revit and its Sofistik plugin for rebar detailing and how to increase the efficiency using design automation. The end of the presentation will be dedicated to looking ahead, exchanging thoughts around application of AI or generative design to bridge, and sharing our initiatives on how to use BIM models for operation and maintenance purposes using our HYPERASSET solution.

The speaker’s vision of providing a client with a complete, live, and sustainable facilities management (FM) solution was realized. Happy FM team, happy owners. Then the unthinkable happened: Autodesk changed the Document Management software. Chaos reigned! Cats and dogs living together! The speaker was in rebuild mode, and it had to be done fast. The new BIM 360 Document Management is often perceived in one of a couple of ways: complex and clumsy or more controllable and manageable. At first, the speaker saw it the first way, and was tired and worn out. Then the speaker went into rebuild mode for a weekend and came up with a leaner solution that capitalized on the new BIM 360 Docs system and BIM 360 Ops software. Come on a journey and learn to capitalize on this technology, bending the software systems to your needs—then layer in some cool new tech to make even stronger environments. We’ll look at BIM 360 Document Management, BIM 360 Ops, and the Matterport scanning system, and we’ll dip into a little Forge programming along the way.

After this class attendees will be able to exploit virtual reality in the realm of construction—particularly, the way and flow of utilizing Samsung Gear VR. Exploring virtual worlds through this device at the construction site or during meetings without other machines is a forte. This drove me to make a deep study of how to utilize it. There are 2 approaches to accomplish virtual reality by utilizing Gear VR during construction phases and facility management purposes. Two paths—Building Information Modeling (BIM) model and construction site picture based—can be technically considered. First, when you use Gear VR with your BIM model, you need to be familiar with software such as Revit software and 3ds Max software for visualizing and rendering. If you intend to navigate your BIM model in virtual worlds, you will also need game engines like Unity3D with Android Studio. Also, regarding exploring panorama pictures, equipment for panoramic photographs and editing tools that will help convert those photos to the 3D world will be required as well.

With the goal of providing the best patient care at lowest cost, Mercy (one of the top five U.S. health systems) selected our Team for Project Delivery. Coupled with traditional A/E Design, we are also in charge of developing and managing VDC workflows aimed at shortening the Schedule, reducing Cost, and optimizing Turn-over. We developed Enhanced Integration (EI), aiming to connect the entire Lifecycle.

In addition to managing VDC workflows, EI also includes Asset Data Management, targeting an IWMS (Integrated Workplace Management System) implementation. With more than 2,000 employees across all Mercy support departments using the unified platform, the projected operational savings are staggering.

EI has evolved over 3 years and 8 projects totaling more than $500 Million in Construction. This class will focus on best practices for delivering complex healthcare projects and showcase BIM360 Team and Collaboration for Revit as the main tools for connecting the entire Project Team.

We tend to focus on designing and constructing new buildings, yet they represent only 2% of United States commercial buildings. Greening operations and maintenance (O&M) of existing facilities is critical, and more architecture, engineering, and construction professionals should be involved in the entire building lifecycle. The Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes and tools that we use for design and construction are essential to an O&M assessment and ongoing facility management. Revit®, Autodesk® Vasari, and Autodesk® Green Building Studio® all help with planning facility changes, in identifying heat islands, and for designing solutions. Whether a building model exists for a facility or not, point cloud data can be brought into Navisworks® to verify existing conditions. Cloud solutions from Autodesk, such as BIM 360™ Field help tremendously for verification, BIM viewing, and retro-commissioning. Come and learn how DPR Construction has approached BIM for the lifecycle.
