"In a world that is becoming increasingly data-driven, the value of facility data lies not just in its volume—but in its “accuracy, freshness, and integration”. At Autodesk University 2025, we are proud to showcase a powerful new vision for facility management: a Digital Workplace platform that seamlessly connects design, operation, and intelligence. We believe the future of facility management hinges on “high-quality data”—data that is not only precise but constantly updated, easily accessible, and contextually rich. To deliver this, we go beyond just creating Digital Workplaces—we create “connected ecosystems”. At the heart of our approach is the “fusion of three powerful platforms”: * Tandem – for BIM-based Digital Workplace modeling and lifecycle data management * Eptura – for proven excellence in asset and workplace management * Shimizu Corporation's Facility Data Hub – our proprietary platform that brings deep field experience and operational insight into the digital layer Together, we build and maintain a “next-generation Digital Workplace” that integrates building design (BIM), workplace operations, and asset performance into a single source of truth. We call this: “Tandem + Eptura with BIM Integration”. This is not just a concept—it’s a working solution. We are proud to be validating this integrated platform in our own headquarters building in Tokyo. Here, we bring theory into practice, using real-time data, real-world assets, and actual operations to demonstrate how a unified Digital Workplace can drive smarter decisions, better maintenance, and more sustainable facility operations. Our commitment to “data quality” is unwavering—because AI-driven insights are only as good as the data that feeds them. And in tomorrow’s world, where automation and intelligence will define success, we believe that Digital Workplaces must be both “technically robust and operationally meaningful”. Come visit our exhibit and experience: * How Tandem structures and visualizes BIM data across the building lifecycle * How Eptura enhances asset intelligence and workplace efficiency * How Shimizu’s Facility Data Hub ensures continuity between construction, occupancy, and operation * And how all of these come together to form an AI-ready Digital Workplace—designed not just for today, but for the evolving challenges of tomorrow This is more than software. It’s a strategic collaboration. It’s a commitment to smarter, connected, sustainable buildings. ”Experience the future. Experience the twin.”

Increasing demand for digitally integrated design and execution in the building and construction industry places great demands on the establishment of data environments. Processes and organizational measures must be established that support project execution, where data loss is avoided, where the entire project lifecycle is considered, and where it can be monitored and analyzed directly from models. At the same time, customers and partners want to follow the project development to a greater extent on a transparent data platform in new forms of collaboration, such as alliance and integrated project delivery (IPD). Add to this the fact that automation is to a greater extent a crucial competitive parameter and an important factor in reaching project deadlines. This presentation describes how a project can be established organizationally and digitally to achieve a high degree of seamless collaboration across disciplines, companies, and software. It also describes some of the digital solutions that have been established, as well as some ambitions for where the project is going for the next seven years. The article is based on the Fornebubanen, which is a multidisciplinary project with 52 disciplines and a construction budget of just more than 1.6 billion Euros. The goal is to have the most information such as bills of quantities, commercial requirements, CO2 imprints, classification, and operation and maintenance information linked directly to the models. These models are combined into several coordination models for a holistic and multidisciplinary representation of the total digital project. Processes, quality assurance, ICE (simultaneous design or "integrated concurrent engineering"), design reviews, tender basis, and execution basis are all based on the project's digital 3D information models. These collaboration models are produced as geographic information system (GIS) models for overall understanding and as technical collaboration models for issue handling and technical assessments and communication. Gamification and a digital asset model will be presented to the stage it has been developed.

With 3D structural analysis being the norm and with a rapidly growing implementation of bridge asset management systems, the market is poised for an explosive adoption of Bridge Information Modeling (BrIM). However, there is no single black-box information model that incorporates hydraulic and structural analysis, geometric design, and plans production—and much less structural detailing! This class will create a process map for bridge design that identifies data exchanges from conception through construction. It will look at owners' bridge management information needs and what data should flow to the operation and maintenance (O&M) phase. Taking into consideration appropriate Autodesk® tools for bridge design and analysis, such as AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, AutoCAD® Revit® Structure software, and their various extensions and analysis modules, the class will offer best practices for creating a workflow to meet the owner's, contractor's and designer's needs. We won't necessarily have all the answers, but we'll contemplate some thought-provoking questions.

Maintenance engineers have different tools to monitor permanent-way states. These are no longer adapted to them: handling, readability, issue interpretation, etc. Currently, each tool used by SNCF is only dedicated to one kind of data. It is tedious for operators to cross the information and carry out an effective maintenance monitoring. For the maintenance manager, it is difficult to have a clear overview of the geographical area for which he is responsible. The service order with Autodesk Consulting made it possible to create a digital model (Civil 3D and Dynamo4Civil) usable in the office (NavisWorks), or on site with a GIS collaborative platform (ArcGIS Online). The site three-dimensional transcription allows to display information coming through various databases. In addition to providing a centralized tool for maintenance monitoring, the new solution facilitates the permanent-way appropriation to any firm newcomer because there are currently no plan deliveries in site premises.

It is quite common for companies to manage many projects for one site; however, it requires that the design documents are contained within one entire project to enable consistency in documentation. The documents can be managed in such a way that the projects can all be run concurrently, but updating occurs in one location. In turn, this process enables external use of the data, such as in Autodesk® Navisworks® software or database software that is also managed as a single project/site entity. You will learn how to contain the integrity of site information, such as P&IDs, models, and isometrics. We will outline the requirements and benefits of managing projects in this type of system.
