Meeting Global Demands in the Digital Infrastructure Industry

Meeting Global Demands in the Digital Infrastructure Industry

Customer challenge

KatalystDI (KDI) stands with the belief that the Digital Infrastructure industry must solve resource and supply chain issues to meet global demands. The company was founded on the premise that a better-defined and integrated supply chain will deliver measurable improvements to construction projects of all sizes. They required e-verse to develop an AI platform to reduce these issues, as modular and offsite production complemented by properly integrated supply chains are a key solution to mitigating them.

Project goals

In this context, e-verse worked together with KatalystDI as one team, in four main areas to advance the InfrastructureBuilder.AI product:

  • Discovery: assessing the industry’s issues and thinking of potential high-scale solutions.
  • Web Platform: developing and maintaining a complex application.
  • Infrastructure: thinking of solutions to make the KDI ecosystem stable and scalable.
  • Integrations: leveraging our AEC industry expertise to integrate the ecosystem with industry software and BIM data across a project’s lifecycle stages, including Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Solution

Katalyst & e-verse created a web application integrated with several key points in the AEC workflow by adopting a customer-centric methodology to confront the challenge from a holistic perspective. 

We elevated KDI’s flagship product together with comprehensive capabilities: bringing together Owners, Contractors, and Suppliers to more effectively plan, manage, and execute work across a distributed construction supply chain, initially focused on Data Centers.

The web application allows users to manage their supply chain data across multiple projects and suppliers, adding visibility to a highly disconnected process. We leveraged Autodesk Platform Services to integrate the platform with Autodesk Revit and Autodesk Construction Cloud, allowing users to leverage their existing data from the Autodesk ecosystem, expanding their visibility across the data center supply chain without disrupting their current workflow.

Business outcome

The results:

  • Effectively reducing resource and supply chain issues.
  • Delivering data-driven processes.
  • Planning and managing the project’s lifecycle.

Conclusion

“I’m impressed at the way our e-verse partners get up to speed on not only our codebase but also our specialty knowledge.”

Implementing Large-Scale Automation Processes for BIM Integration

Corbis is an AEC company specializing in project delivery that aids architects, retailers, corporations, and developers to successfully oversee and complete construction projects to collaborative IPD-focused management and top-notch BIM-related proficiency.The company faced the challenge of incorporating Autodesk Revit models into Vera, a portfolio management platform powered by BIM, and providing them to customers in a quick, scalable, and secure manner. At e-verse, they undertook the task of streamlining this manual process, focusing on the swift and effective development of Autodesk BIM360 (ACC) integration. e-verse's primary challenge was to automate these steps and ensure the seamless handling of substantial models.


Revolutionizing Construction Projects with Augmented Reality

Argyle is a company led by builders and BIM enthusiasts who wanted a jobsite technology that would work as promised in science fiction. They found it difficult for team members to communicate effectively on construction sites, particularly when working on large and complex projects. This could lead to misunderstandings, errors, and delays. Additionally, workers on a construction site may not have access to all the information they need to perform their jobs effectively.Argyle requested a custom exporter out of Autodesk Navisworks and Autodesk Revit. This was a particularly complex challenge due to the limitations of Autodesk Navisworks and Autodesk Revit in dealing with a large number of geometries. To address this issue, they wanted to build an augmented reality app that registers BIM to the jobsite in the form of easy-to-use holograms, resembling the futuristic technology depicted in Star Trek, applied to construction.
