No, this isn’t the start of a bad joke (though we’ve got plenty of those). It’s the future of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). AI, digital twins, and BIM are teaming up to make construction smarter, and faster.

Imagine a world where construction layouts are done by robots, real-time data drives better decisions, and AI helps streamline complex workflows. 

Spoiler: That world is already here. AI, digital twins, and BIM are joining forces, and the results are turning heads across the industry.

This week’s article looks at this high-tech trifecta and what it means for the future of construction. You’ll learn how these tools are working together to solve age-old industry challenges—like miscommunication, inefficiency, and the dreaded rework.

Read on to see how emerging technologies are BFFs in AEC

WHAT'S UP

• Gridlocked Potential: Utilities want to use AI. Messy data is holding them back. Utility data is often collected in silos to support individual functions, preventing organizations from creating a holistic picture of grid performance and developing granular insights into meter data that can help predict future demand. Utilities that leverage advanced analytics in their asset management strategies could unlock 10% to 20% in operational savings while improving the reliability and performance of their networks.
• MR to the Rescue: Performance support has become a growing trend in the effort to improve productivity in industrial sectors. More and more industrial organizations understand they must get the right information, to the right people, at the right time, and are searching for the best ways to do it. Mixed reality, or MR, provides modern industrial, energy, and manufacturing companies the flexibility, focus, and capacity to optimize performance support.
