In this session, we'll equip attendees with practical skills and tools to facilitate the integration of sensor data and analytics into InfoWater Pro software's water distribution models using Info360 Insight software. Our primary focus will be the underexplored strategy of dynamically coupling hydraulic models with sensor data, a key aspect in deploying digital twins. These connected models have the potential to save utilities substantial resources through improved operational decision making. We'll discuss the data types suitable for hydraulic models, the preprocessing steps required, and various integration strategies, such as the automatic scaling of customer demands to meet forecasts. The aim is to provide a thorough understanding of digital twins' application in hydraulic modeling, offering attendees valuable insights into this intricate domain.

Water distribution models are used throughout the world to provide customers access to clean, reliable drinking water, as well as sufficient pressure for fire suppression in emergencies. These models are only as valuable as they are accurate. The old process of updating the model every five years for a master plan is outdated and inefficient. The infrequent updating is a byproduct of the many sources of data needed to update your model. Using built-in tools for InfoWater Pro and incorporating telemetry data from Info360 Insight, we will walk through some of the many workflows that are involved in updating models and we’ll explore how much faster they can be accomplished with the right tools. Additionally, we will discuss the important analysis being done with water distribution models and how outdated models can be costly in social, environmental, and financial ways.

When considering the "building life cycle" from the viewpoint of the process importance obtained through ISO19650 certification, to construct a Building database, using BIM360 as CDE and collaborating Information of BIM stored in Revit along with SpaceIQ is required. We will share our insights collected from real project. Also some of the insights on the evolution of data platforms by leveraging SpaceIQ solutions in the design phase, while it is commonly used in the construction to operation/maintenance phases. What is the digital value chain brought by the data collaboration? The effects and future projections will be presented

It is estimated that 80% of the environmental impact is determined at the design phase. However, many designers lack the tools to assess the impact of their design choices. In addition, an increasing number of companies are setting up ambitious sustainability goals, but the data required to drive the actions are often in disparate systems throughout the organization, or kept in PLM (product lifecycle management) and PDM (product data management) systems, which means that designs are already locked up. Autodesk and Makersite collaborated to bring sustainability insights into early product-design phases by connecting relevant lifecycle assessment data to the Autodesk Fusion 360 Design workspace. We’ve created a more holistic workflow to provide even more insights into sustainable design, directly within the design environment. The analysis can also recommend material alternatives and provide costing information to help designers make more-sustainable decisions, faster, with greater impact.

A cross-industry technology fusion! We used Autodesk Generative Design software to create an adaptive connector bracket for robot-operated 3D scans of ancient structures. ReCap software and Dynamo helped us study traditional construction methods and enrich our restoration efforts. This report covers our process in Autodesk Fusion 360 software, including entering design parameters and extracting constraints from the historical site. It explains how we turned the bracket's requirements into criteria for rapid iteration and selection, quickly finding the best solution. It also explains how ReCap processed robot-collected point cloud data to investigate architectural principles and features of ancient buildings in Southern China. Finally, it describes how Dynamo converted these insights into automated building information modeling (BIM) scripting, bridging historical knowledge with modern technology for efficient restoration practices.

The construction industry is currently facing a gap between the digital tools for field management and ERP (enterprise resource planning) in office. Although we've started using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and field apps for collaboration, data still remains siloed and fragmented, which leads to cost overruns and time delays. This class will cover how to use the Forge platform and the BIM 360 API to generate construction schedule and quantity takeoff for project controls and predictive analytics. Using model derivative API, we'll show you how you can generate schedule, quantity takeoff, or map with existing data instantly. You will learn how to compare cost and time impact. Learn how you can use BIM on the job site through easy-to-use mobile interface to exchange data about quantities, quality, manpower, and progress-and visualize it in a 4D and 5D environment. Finally, learn how you can apply predictive analytics to generate accurate schedule and cost estimation, and get early actionable insights into cost overruns and time delays.

The amount of information collected in BIM 360 software can be overwhelming, and finding connections between data that can lead to project insight is not always easy.

This class will focus on how Clayco has implemented best practices around deploying BIM 360 software on its projects for issue tracking, quality assurance / quality control, model coordination, and asset tracking. Building depth and developing synergies with multiple stakeholders is essential for creating an environment that lets BIM 360 be a trusted and utilized platform in the design-build process. It is critical from the project’s start to have clearly defined expectations, as well as mapped support for all project users. Empowering "project champions" decentralizes administrative support, which bridges the gap between what the field needs and how best the office can support it. Creating user-specific training allows for greater insight into the workflows of various stakeholders, and increases the ability for more-accurate data capture. We’ll also discuss utilizing Forge integrations such as Smartvid.io and 360 Sync to streamline access to vital construction information.

The concluding part of this roundtable will cover potential hurdles encountered in the process and possible solutions that will contribute toward delivering a successful project.

How should you manage your BIM 360 projects? Do you need to overview multiple projects—or 100 intelligent models in the same project? Or information spread in millions of objects? As a leading BIM construction company, VINCI Construction France is always looking to improve project management processes. In this class, we will present how a cloud-tools-based solution may arise to limit tasks that are time-consuming or have no brain value. This session will show the VINCI Construction France dashboard that was developed with the help of the BIM 360 API and the Forge platform to enable the models’ quality overview using data from the different bricks of BIM 360 software. This dashboard enables the firm to surface some insights from each BIM 360 component of a BIM project, and dive into that data to deliver better BIM quality through the firm’s BIM checking tools and methods. This class will present a custom Forge API development inspired by Sam Nseir's work: "Integrate BIM 360 data with PowerBI using R."

This class gives firsthand insights into the application and documented quantified benefits of bringing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies to the field at Max Bögl Group, Germany’s largest privately owned construction company. We will discuss how we were able to deliver construction management workflows with higher quality and in significantly less time than before, and we’ll share best practice workflows for Navisworks software, BIM 360 Glue software, and BIM 360 Field software. As a highlight we will share how we enriched the regular BIM 360 software platform by creating a custom document-management system integration, linking 3D elements to detailed 2D CAD documents. The result is an automated, rule-based integration of 2D plans for 3D models with web and mobile access. A 3D object is then linked to its CAD metadata, checklists, issues, tasks, and respective (plan) documents, and it can be tracked with a QR code.

Aqua America is a large water and sewer utility serving eight U.S. states.
