When it comes to Building Information Modeling, we seem to have the building and modeling parts down pretty well, but the information part continues to cause the architecture, engineering, and construction industry to evolve and change. The problem with the information part is not its existence, but rather its longevity and connection to the building. The information exists, but in too many forms: spreadsheets, databases, catalogs, and other miscellaneous documents. So, how do you tie these other data sources to the model? We will examine various methods for overcoming data loss by bringing the information part in early and keeping it in an accessible form that can feed the lifecycle of the building. Discussion will center around the creation, maintenance, and accessibility of room data. We will examine various options for making the data accessible through multiple platforms simultaneously.

This session will give you inspiration regarding how to improve your workflows by making them digital and transparent to every employee inside your organization.

Like a recipe or business card, items represent things within your business. Items represent the components that the company manages, assembles, sells, and manufactures. Autodesk Vault Professional software introduces the ability to generate items and manage an item master. Within this class you will learn what items are and how to provide both engineering staff and non-engineering (no access to a CAD application) with access to the data. We will cover how to issue new stock numbers and build intelligent naming schemes. You will learn how to attach your CAD data smartly with proper property (metadata) information mapping. You will also learn how to provide a mechanism for exchange of data between Vault and enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing resource planning (MRP), and product lifecycle management (PLM) systems. We will discuss release management for lifecycles and revision schemes. You will learn how to create bills of materials (BOMs) for your items. Finally, we will cover change orders and how items are integrated.

As client and project requirements become more and more complex, the need to manage information in Autodesk Revit software and data connected to Revit becomes exceedingly important.

Cities are growing faster than ever. As a result, urban population growth is dramatically outpacing access to basic services, and municipalities must develop efficient sanitation and waste management solutions. Sanergy has developed an innovative way of efficiently converting sanitation and organic waste into animal feed, using insect-rearing technology. Globally, no industry has previously existed for conversion of waste to animal feed, thus, new processes needed to be designed and integrated with solutions identified in other industries. It required high levels of critical design thinking and innovative process engineering to test and validate the underpinning biology assumptions, and to develop an end-to-end approach that was capable of processing 300 tons of waste per day. The class will take you through the journey to build the first factory of its kind in Africa, covering specifically how Autodesk software (AutoCAD software and Fusion 360 software) helped to solve key engineering and environmental problems.

Product development is plagued with government regulation. If a product is intended to improve the quality of lives, or at least do no harm, then its market is probably regulated by dozens to hundreds of government organizations. We see this pattern play out in markets for medical devices, industrial equipment, vehicles, food, consumer products, and anything that might be touched by children. Product data management is a key enabler of efficient development processes, in general. This session will illustrate the challenges that have been addressed at Ascensia, a worldwide market-leading innovator in diabetes care. In the midst of organizational changes, Ascensia has deployed Fusion Lifecycle software to manage its product changes among a dizzying array of regulations and market expectations. This session will tell the story of the decisions, setbacks, and successes along the firm’s journey. Anyone concerned with managing external market requirements will appreciate this discussion.
