Point cloud is now a technology well known in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, including scanning and photogrammetry. With point clouds, you can save a lot of time in various use cases like digital twins, as-build comparing, or retro-engineering. Collecting data from the reality to virtual environment is always time consuming and painful. Discover in a smooth workflow how to merge point clouds on the Autodesk Forge platform with intelligent models to improve collaboration and save time.

It’s time to bring back a favorite session on managing Revit MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) systems. A key component of the Revit workflow, systems define the relationship between HVAC, piping, and electrical components, but they also provide alignment with critical data that helps progress design models toward true digital twins. In this session, we’ll begin by reviewing the analytical systems that help define the hierarchy of a system. Then we’ll cover the four-step process that creates the relationship between target and source devices, and helps with the creation of connecting geometry. We’ll also examine best practices for system families to prevent model issues, and we’ll wrap up with ways to collect and share data with external sources. This session will concurrently cover air/fluid/electrical systems in a way to help you understand how to make your systems work consistently and correctly. And you’ll get a free parting gift of a template and content to help you get started, so join us for the fast-paced and entertaining session!

How can we model a civil engineering structure like a digital twin without 3D scanning? If you want to know how to take up the challenge of replicating 62 stations platforms in 4 months, this case study talks about the Marseille subway stations project (In France). Throughout this presentation, we will be demonstrating how to use Civil3D, Subassembly Composer, Dynamo and Excel to reduce the time needed by 4, thereby reducing costs. Firstly, we will show the project and the stakes, then the workflow by way of adaptive profiles and finally we will present the possibilities of developing this idea further. Yes, this Workflow can be compatible with any project. Through this presentation, you can discover a new approach to using Civil 3D now and in the future. This case study can improve skills and offer new possibilities.

We are starting to see a convergence of different industries and disciplines like we have never seen before. Construction and manufacturing for modular construction and building product manufacturing coming further into design. Plant and power owners using these same methodologies to help meet deadlines and set quality standards. Owners using digital twin and integrated factory modeling for digitalization of factory building and production lines. Digitization in infrastructure for everything below or above ground. Along with GIS, the ability to explore locations, events, and trends so stakeholders can be better informed or create awareness of the environment. See how today’s current desktop and cloud technologies like Revit, Inventor, Construction Cloud, and Fusion 360 are helping to bring a common data environment to multiple industries. Understand how Collaboration, Connected Data, and Digitization are bringing the “art of the possible” to a level that we have never seen before.

Beyond simply digitizing buildings, Matterport’s digital twins are visually immersive, interactive 3D scans that connect teammates and stakeholders between offices and job sites directly to the computer in front of you. In this class, we’ll discuss how teams utilize Matterport solutions to jumpstart and streamline workflows starting from concept design, throughout construction, all the way to handover, warranty, and beyond. We’ll demonstrate the depth of Matterport’s documentation and collaboration tools as well as showcase our direct to Revit Scan-to BIM process! Take this opportunity to get a sneak peek at Matterport’s future offerings and integrations with Autodesk.

Join Autodesk's Alex Pena Workflow Analyst, Amy Marks VP of Industrialized Construction, Tiffany Bachmeier Director of Global M&E and Advanced Manufacturing, along with a panel of industry-leading customers in a discussion about convergence. As companies evolve their future states to include outcomes and solutions like Industrialized Construction, IFM, and Digital Twins – we will consider and discuss the future of data, sustainability, and talent for ecosystem transformation. Autodesk is helping you differentiate from the competition by providing thought leadership, consulting, success plans, technical and product adoption support for you as your industries flex in capabilities beyond your primary businesses and harness emerging outcomes, project strategies, and business models.

Industrialized construction is becoming more important than ever, considering current housing shortages and a decline in skilled labor. Optimizing factory processes is thus essential for productivity; however, changes to lines can be both expensive and disruptive. In this presentation we will demonstrate how a process-based digital twin can help to analyze and optimize a factory. First, a factory information model is created using discrete event simulation and virtual reality. This model is then updated using a variety of sensors that can measure baseline performance. Together, the model and sensors produce a digital twin of a factory that serves as a virtual test bed for evaluating the manufacturing process and optimizing factory layout and resource allocation to mitigate any adverse effects. We’ll share preliminary results from an ongoing project to integrate energy efficiency technologies into modular buildings with little or no additional lead time and first cost.

The buzz around artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and digital twins in manufacturing can be overwhelming. In reality, these technologies can add real value to your firm. Even though 73% of manufacturers believe digital technologies will increase ROI, more than half have yet to implement them. The Autodesk Foundation and Microdesk Co-Innovation Lab partnered with Pallet Shelter, a rapidly growing startup with a mission to combat homelessness, expand workforce development, and promote sustainable communities. Through this collaboration, Pallet Shelter is strengthening channels of communication and means of storing and sharing data by implementing solutions from the Autodesk ecosystem. With centrally accessible documentation and built-in business procedures, unifying the firm on a common data environment (CDE) gives key stakeholders insight into the design process. This infrastructure supports the company's rapid and long-term expansion.

Operational digital twins link real-time Internet of Things (IoT) data with digital representations of real-world processes to model what’s happening and to optimize what’s going to happen next. In 2021, Autodesk acquired Innovyze’s industry-leading water-modeling solutions, along with the Info360 SaaS platform, delivering an operational digital twin for water catchment, treatment, and distribution. Info360 joins water-simulation models used by most utilities worldwide with cloud technology, IoT monitoring, machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and physics-based modeling techniques to create a dynamic digital twin for the entire water-processing cycle. In this session, we’ll demonstrate Info360. We’ll review trends in operational digital twins and how simulation models can move to the cloud to enable real-time simulation. We’ll review machine learning and AI modeling approaches that are being used to optimize in real time. And we’ll assess the challenges involved in deploying these systems, and what you should do to prepare.

Digital disruption is an inevitable trend in the construction industry, with many digital technologies creating the future construction sites to be completed in the near future. On the other hand, digital data as the output of digital tech use will gather into a data lake and link with ERP and other core systems to advance data use. Transferring from "creating" and "collecting" digital data—including building information modeling (BIM) data—to the next stage of "using" data will be the must. We’ll present our milestones with the ultimate goal being that executives be able to make data-centered business decisions based on data gathered in real time.

New technologies and advanced concepts were never as important for infrastructure design as they are today. New challenges arise to design, build, and maintain bridges, tunnels, and roads with efficiency and environmental concern. During this class, we’ll present SOFiSTiK Bridge + Infrastructure Modeler with Dynamo interface. You’ll learn how to model various structures with increased performance and level of detail. Additionally, we’ll explore how Autodesk Generative Design can improve the decision-making process through prediction of outcomes, optimization, and the support of sustainable infrastructure by controlling the CO2 footprint. We’ll reveal real success stories of leading companies. You’ll learn how these companies greatly increased their efficiency and achieved governmental building information modeling (BIM) requirements for modeling and construction. Among subjects covered will be a digital twin of a cable-stayed bridge, tunnels, detailing, plan production, and amazing visualization.

We can now use operational digital twins to apply the past, present, and future conditions at the level of the asset to solve key problems and meet objectives for water networks and plants. With Autodesk's Info360 platform, trust in these systems has reached a point where simulated predictive "what-if" scenarios actively support responses to planned and emerging incidents with real-time artificial intelligence (AI) recommendations informing the optimization of networks and plants. The technological focus of this industry talk will be on operational digital-twin use cases. With a goal to reduce water loss to 10% by 2030, Water Corporation of Western Australia uses data-driven models to understand pressure and flow management with live physics-based models for pressure optimization. North American utility's water treatment plant optimizes chemical costs while maintaining compliance with predictive AI, achieving a 13% savings (US$170,000) in ferric costs while meeting turbidity discharge compliance limits.

A digital twin needs to be powered by an energy called information. At a time when many facilities owners are considering developing a digital twin, the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry needs to empower this smart replica by producing information for this purpose. Ultimately, this allows for more-sustainable design, more-efficient construction, and more-informed maintenance. Nevertheless, to make it work, a shift is needed: Treat information as an asset, just like the physical infrastructure. Based on the case of Montreal's new metro line project, this class will describe a methodology that includes the strategic actions to be taken, the requirements to be imposed, and the operational means to be settled. We’ll cover the keys to exploiting the data generated during the D&B phase so that at handover, a virtual representation of the infrastructure is available to support operations throughout the asset's lifecycle. This class is subject to our customer agreement, “CDPQ infra."

At the project A16 de Groene Boog, we’ve implemented building information modeling (BIM) with the real “single source of truth” (SSOT) principals based on the ISO 19650 standards. This is not only for use of the “basic” BIM subjects like 3D, 4D, and clash detection, but also for the SSOT for geographic information system (GIS), TWIN16 (the digital twin product for virtual testing of tunnel technical installations for this project), and the communications department for stakeholders like visual (360-degree) presentations and external communication platforms.

Parsons will highlight the capabilities available within an airport digital twin by showing our work to support the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport digital twin project. The digital twin includes a main runway and passenger terminal. We’ll detail our work to help define digital governance standards, develop a runway-specific asset ontology, and integrate data across multiple source systems: Civil 3D software, Revit software, Infor EAM, Johnson Controls, Veoci Part 139 airfield inspection software, Esri GIS, and ViewMondo weather station data running within the Microsoft Azure Digital Twins cloud. The twin provides real-time updates via Internet of Things (IOT) runway sensors that specify temperature, surface temperature, humidity, and water film. This session will share unique insights and lessons learned regarding the technical and management workflows to plan and execute a digital twin for critical infrastructure assets. A digital twin addresses the industry challenge of how to automate and unify the management of complex civil infrastructure.

Multisite owners have unique challenges. These companies must view digital transformation and valuable technical opportunities through the lens of scalability, standardization, and repeatability. In this panel, Kyle Hudson (vice president of operations at VIATechnik) will moderate a conversation between digital leaders from three unique multisite owners: Xavier Loayza Jaramillo, design technology lead at Chick-fil-A; Sean Christopher, senior preconstruction manager at Amazon; and Joel Shetterly, head of design at Compass Coffee. We’ll dig into what makes the digital building journey so challenging, unique, and powerful for multisite owners. We'll discuss techniques, lessons learned, and opportunities for multisite owners to properly use virtual design and construction (VDC) solutions, digital twins, and digital project delivery. And we'll hear what makes these three owners unique in their approaches to digital transformation.

See how to maximize technology convergence from a digital twin over the entire building assets and operations lifecycle. There are many key topics related to corporate real estate management (CREM). Real estate has a substantial effect on all three main financial statements (cash flow, income, and balance sheet), and is one of the largest costs for manufacturing companies outside of material and personnel. CREM influences tactical operational performances such as labor productivity, well-being, satisfaction, and motivation, as well as strategic ones such as corporate identity fit. For brownfield projects, the aim is to achieve an optimum of the lowest possible vacancy rate, as well as flexibility and adaptability to changes in the company. Technology solutions for CREM are improving project collaboration, energy consumption, and space management, with a proven ROI that includes 10% space reduction of the entire portfolio, 18% reduction in non-value-adding tasks in facility management, and 3% reduction in construction material cost.
