CompuSOFT: DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FOR THE AEC INDUSTRY IN KSA

Q2 2020 Volume 1 Issue 1

“Thank you for being a loyal CompuSOFT customer and Partner. During these unprecedented times, we are committed to delivering uninterrupted services and value!”

Raed Al Maskeen, President & CEO

As we introduced in our last newsletter, our position here at CompuSOFT is to assist companies accelerate their Digital Transformation by leveraging our comprehensive expertise…with that, Digitization is key! Digital Transformation in Engineering Design

Digital transformation is the ongoing process of utilizing digitaltechnologies to transform and improve business performance by creating operational efficiency, enhancing customer engagement, and developing innovative products or new business models. Through our long association of working with some of the largest companies in relevant industry sectors for more than a decade, we have garnered deep expertise in Digital Transformation across the entire value chain in Construction, Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Utility, etc.

It is our perspective that digital transformation is the integration of digital technology into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers. For example, with the coming of age of Digital Transformation in the field of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC), it is possible to use the benefits of Machine Learning (ML) to predict the purchase behavior of a customer by developing a growth strategy backed with supportive data and analytics.

As a part of Industry 4.0, digital technologies are transforming every stage of the AEC project life cycle. The five prominent game changing technologies are: Drones (autonomous drones for mapping), 3D Printing, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Smart Apps and Virtual Reality (VR/AR/MR).

The Digital Twin is a virtual model of a process, product, or service. The pairing of the virtual and physical worlds allows for the analysis of data and monitoring of systems to avert problems before they even occur, prevent downtime, develop new opportunities, and plan for any eventuality by using simulations. Smart components that use sensors to gather data about the real-time status, working condition, or position of the physical item are integrated with a Digital Twin. All these components are connected to a cloud-based system that receives and processes all the data the sensors monitor. This input is analyzed against business, market, risk, and other contextual data.

Spanning the entire asset lifecycle, the Digital Twin can provide a risk-free way of simulating construction, logistics, and fabrication sequences within the supply chain, as well as optimizing design for passenger flows and enabling stakeholders to visualize emergency evacuations and resilience against flooding and/or extreme weather conditions. With the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), we envisage immersive digital operations, providing analytics visibility and insights to enhance the effectiveness of operations staff and help them anticipate and head off issues before they arise and to react more rapidly.

The Digital Twin

The Construction Cloud combines next-generation technology, a robust network of professionals and firms, and powerful predictive analytics to help your business thrive across all phases of construction. Optimize project budgets, schedules, and overall quality for a project start to finish. This is a concept trusted by designers, builders, and owners to reduce risk and deliver results for projects of all types and sizes.

Designers: Effectively collaborate with the entire project team and pinpoint specific changes as the model gets updated to speed up project delivery and reduce requests for information (RFIs).

Builders: Choose the right project partners from the start and accurately plan the project scope for more accurate bids, to stay on budget and on schedule, and to deliver quality results.

Owners: Leverage actionable insights available via the cloud to make data-driven decisions to protect against miscommunication, change orders, and schedule delays. It is a win-win-win situation.

The Construction Cloud

Construction Cloud solutions connect data and processes from design through construction and operations. They empower field staff to anticipate and act, and back office staff to manage all aspects of construction performance. They also:

Minimize time uploading and syncing files, accelerate project delivery and connect design teams with cloud-based design collaboration.

Put constructability reviews and clash resolution into the hands of the entire project team to accelerate BIM coordination workflows.

Combine mobile technologies for onsite data collection with cloud-based collaboration and reporting to manage quality, safety, and project controls.

Unity Reflect is a new, real-time 3D product for building information modeling (BIM) workflows. Unity Reflect is intended for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, and integrates directlywith Autodesk Revit, the industry-leading BIM software. Together, real-time BIM is a reality by providing AEC stakeholders with powerful tools.

Designers and engineers can transfer Revit models into real-time experiences, including augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).

Developers can create highly customized real-time 3D applications leveraging BIM data by building on top of Unity Reflect with the Unity Editor.

Clients and collaborators can review projects in an immersive, interactive way on an array of devices.

Whether you are a developer or an architect, a designer or a building engineer who has never touched a line of code, you can use Unity Reflect to transfer your BIM data into real-time experiences on a range of devices and also in AR and VR.

It only takes one click to bring multiple Revit models with all their BIM metadata into real-time 3D and to maintain a live link between them. Because Unity at its core is a development platform, you can also create differentiated real-time BIM applications and customize the user experience by building on top of Unity Reflect with the Unity Editor.

Transforming BIM Workflows with Real Time 3D

Anytime, Anywhere Access - Project Management Manage projects of any size with cloud-based, robust, and easy-to-use solutions for globally prioritizing, planning, managing, and executing projects, programs, and portfolios.

These Project Management software solutions give the project team anytime, anywhere access to their project information through flexible web-based user interfaces. Users have access to a variety of interfaces including interactive dashboards, web applications, and simple forms to consume role-specific information. In addition, team members can easily and quickly update their status by using any of the interfaces that best accommodate their line of work. Software tools like these provide:

Assistance with delivery success for projects and programs. Anytime, anywhere access for project management. Planning and risk management modules. Resource management to match people with projects. Tracking progress to gain insights into costs and resource use. Collaboration and content management. Reporting and analytics. Integration for interoperating with ease.
