Learn the workflow to place embankment around the coastal regions by using InfraWorks software to create a conceptual design. Use Flood Simulation to simulate, visualize, and analyze 2D flood simulations in the model and export from InfraWorks to Civil 3D software for the detailed design, with all the model information. Finally, use IoT to monitor the embankment after construction. This system will enable early detection of disturbing phenomena or events occurring in the flood embankments, thus enabling early response and prevention of crisis.

In this session, we will present a powerful service for automatic generation of process simulation models from 3D plant models (for example, AutoCAD Plant 3D software). The simulation service is based on the Open Ontology-based Integration Platform “Simantics.” Information of a 3D model is extracted to generate and configure a dynamic simulation model and to calculate pressure-loss coefficients. The Forge model can be used for process and control design, control system testing, operator training, and process optimization and troubleshooting. The generated simulation-based virtual twin can be connected automatically to the Forge platform, capitalizing on the OPC UA standard, and simulation data can be visualized in Forge. We will also show how one can interface measurement data to the same system and do comparison between simulated and measured data, enabling fault diagnostic and troubleshooting services in Forge. We will demonstrate a case example using a small laboratory process.

"What if projects empowered facility owners with building intelligence that maximizes the value from design and construction, and seamlessly transitioned knowledge to operations and maintenance, to run the facility optimally from the first day? What if we integrated models, drawings, documents, facility performance and analytics data, and delivered such capability as a simple, contextualized user experience? The VueOPS team has consulted on BIM for FM implementations for large-scale healthcare, aviation, bio-pharmaceutical, and public agency owners. We are passionate about these outcomes. This class shares our journey to bridge current and emergent FM requirements for projects and develop an integrated FM platform that uses the Autodesk Forge platform in our quest to integrate information from documents, models, asset management, and building performance and analytics systems to create building knowledge for our customers."

Finally, we will look at how we can manage some of the challenges of being a data-driven industry including data management and storage, pain/gain share, ethical considerations, and the need to recruit staff with different skill sets.

In 2018, Italian Railways launched a project to help its 630 stations meet sustainable management standards, leading to savings in water and energy use. FSTechnology, a division of Italian Railways, integrated Esri and Autodesk software to improve workflows for survey, design, and maintenance of its railway stations. Interoperability between Autodesk Construction Cloud, Civil 3D, and Esri ArcGIS enables a digital twin of the entire network. A GIS web app of the whole Italian network, including every site and station, was developed to monitor the status of the entire system. An interactive dashboard allows the management team to keep an eye on the KPI and take action whenever needed. FSTechnology is currently working to include Autodesk Tandem in the workflow to collect data from IoT devices, such as meters or sensors.

Digital Workplaces, powered by real-time data, AI, and IoT, are poised to revolutionize product design and manufacturing workflows within the design-make-use lifecycle. By enabling data-driven, predictive processes, Digital Workplaces transform how products are conceived, iterated, and validated. What if IoT sensor data embedded in a product can detect stresses during its operation, which can be derived to automatically redesign a stronger and more efficient iteration? What if IoT sensor data embedded in a 3D printer can detect defects on a layer-by-layer basis to make real-time, in-situ adjustments to prevent manufacturing failures and scrap? Questions like these are not only being asked but explored and tested at Autodesk Research. Through a performance-aided design approach, we are harnessing sensor data to drive real-time optimizations, using a flying vehicle as a cutting-edge testbed to redefine the future of design and manufacturing.

Have you ever wondered what’s under the hood of a Digital Workplace? Most are familiar with intelligent models as they pertain to the design and construction process, but where and at what point does metadata from an intelligent model merge with live data streams from Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other software integrations? In this session, we will dig beneath the 3D visuals commonly seen and look at the mechanics of a Digital Workplace—how it’s designed, how it’s built, and how it all works in concert. Participants will walk away from our session with a better understanding of how the merging of these two environments is possible through the journey of a project lifecycle. We’ll give an in-depth overview of how Aptitude | Intelligent Integration has tied together the latest tools of the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry with innovative technologies and integrations to use asset management and goals that owners are looking for to get the smart building overlay they desire.

In this demo, we will walk through a simplified example of capturing real-time manufacturing data (cutting temperatures) from a hobby-class computer numerical control (CNC) router as it machines aluminum, visualizing that data on the visual model of the part being manufactured. Cutting tool and workpiece temperatures are direct indications of cutting efficiency and tool health. Mapping temperatures can help validate and suggest adjustments to feeds, speeds, and depth of cut to achieve the nominal chip load. While this is far from an industrial solution, this demo will show the power of IoT manufacturing within a simplified context to explore the utility and promise of cloud-based manufacturing solutions, built with Forge.

Our team created a digital twin of retail store located in the shopping mall complex using Autodesk Tandem software–reducing missed inspection time by 90% By combining laser scanning, intelligent modeling, and asset element and IoT sensor data in Tandem extended through our mobile app, we empower plant management to monitor assets and make more-informed business decisions. Dawood integrated our native mobile application—built with Flutter, Supabase, and BuildShip—to record equipment inspections. Elements are tagged with QR codes, enabling rapid information access. This allows for data exchange between the mobile app and digital twin using the Tandem API—making it the single source of truth. This allows on-site engineers to access information on the go to complete daily inspections and send inspection data to the digital twin so that management can assess and respond to events in real time. Automated reminders reduce incidents.
