A typical manufacturing company is very digitally mature in the design office. However, that maturity reduces as we move down toward production. The manufacturing process can easily become costly and inefficient due to the use of software or paper-based methods that do not fit the goals of collaboration, traceability, accountability, reporting, and so on. As a result of this, customers can lose a lot of time finding the correct data at the correct time, ensuring that the correct versions of files are in use, understanding what past decisions were made and why, reworking parts to correct mistakes, and reworking scrapped parts. This talk will look at how customers can use Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage Extension and Prodsmart together with Vault software in order to create a digitally connected platform for process and data management as well as the scheduling of jobs and resources on the shop floor. We will also look at how this then enables better change control processes around the process configuration.

This topic was nominated as the focal topic for Autodesk CEO's investor relations AEC Q1 earnings call on May 28th. The pandemic has accelerated the use of technology in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. As we all settle into the "new normal,” there has been significant technological change. We can no longer create the same traditional design teams and expect to deliver on all of the coming infrastructure work. We must rethink how we build our teams to support all of our clients' needs. As we look to capitalize on immersive collaboration platforms, such as The Wild, we are adding entirely new skill sets and resources to our design teams, including immersive media specialists, digital delivery experts, trainers, and adoption strategists. This is enabling rapid growth to our business and changing the way we deliver our infrastructure projects. As a result, we're developing novel adoption strategies to ensure long-term success for our clients in this new digital reality.

This session will present a workflow between Inventor and Revit software using Dynamo as an automation tool for production. Our firm has an extensive history of using Inventor for bridge infrastructure modeling and using programming to automate production. Structural concrete or steel, reinforcement, bolted connections, and construction details are represented in our parametric models. Our firm chose Inventor as a primary 3D production tool due to its short learning curve with new 3D modelers, approachability, and native parametric functionalities. However, to be within a building information modeling (BIM) environment for collaboration with partnering firms and clients, we pushed these Inventor models into Revit using a combination of location data from our analysis models and Dynamo inside Revit. With this workflow, we can automate the assembly of our Revit intelligent model, establish Inventor as a BIM support tool for modeling within the production team, and retain our firm's Inventor assets for future BIM projects.

Across the globe, individuals and companies are working together using various disciplines and tools to create remarkable products, buildings, and experiences for today and the future. With Data Exchange, distributed teams can easily share and consume geometry and parameter data without requiring access to the original design file or authoring app. Traditional data-sharing methods may result in incomplete translations, leading to time-consuming workarounds. Alternatively, using third-party plug-ins to capture the complete information being shared can also lead to problems. Come and see how Data Exchange connectors provide a durable solution for interoperability and collaborative work, resulting in better synchronization workflows for seamless design development. This enables teams to focus on essential aspects of the design rather than repetitive tasks, conserving their energy. This class will cover the creation of Data Exchange connectors and their seamless collaboration across distributed teams.

Design-and-make projects are complex. They generate tons of files and versions, which leaves Autodesk customers to build bespoke collaboration pipelines to share files that are costly to translate, transfer, and store. These files/versions need to be manually reconciled, which results in loss of time and money. On top of that, files present a threat to our customers' intellectual property since the entire design file needs to be shared with a contractor just to access the relevant subset that the contractor should work on. It's quite apparent that we need better design-make data management. Introducing Autodesk Data Models! By breaking up files into valuable bits of data stored and managed on the Autodesk Data platform, we provide YOU, our valued customer, with a source of truth that you can rely on to build better workflows to achieve your goals. In this panel discussion, we will talk about what Autodesk Data Models are, why they are important, and what value gets unlocked for each industry.
