Let's face it, emissions from the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry are too high and one of the key issues is there are no agreed-upon processes for measuring embodied carbon. Join this panel discussion to hear a deep dive into how a group of companies conducted a proof of concept (POC) to address this complexity. Under the auspices of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Autodesk and six AEC leading companies—AECOM, Arcadis, Arup, Foster + Partners, Ramboll, and SOM—spent more than six months on this POC. The cohort of building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability experts from the various firms investigated the processes behind translating BIM data into material quantities to measure embodied carbon (EC). The goal: Identify best practices toward establishing industry-wide guidelines for EC analysis to create actionable benchmarks. Join this fascinating technical discussion into how we aligned, agreed on assumptions, and drew conclusions. Hear how these POC insights might help decarbonize the industry from our contributors: Paul Astle (Ramboll), Javier Sanchez Hernandez (AECOM), Laura Gomez Hernandez (AECOM), Caoimhe Loftus (Arcadis), Ian Lumsden (Arup), Blerina Celniku (Foster and Partners), Monica Lucas (Ramboll), Eric Stimmel (SOM), and Mirko Farnetani (SOM).

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.

With new technologies emerging, we're always on the road to explore the digital factory. In this class, we'll share the best practices and approaches regarding the digital factory. First, drive increased efficiency of the factory design and optimization based on CAD workflow and FlexSim process simulation, which is essential for the digital factory. Next, ensure the objects can be tracked throughout the whole lifecycle; we built a "Factory Object TAG Rules" system for digital delivery. Finally, connected IoT devices help realize digital twins to streamline, automate, and predict tasks. And we explore AI to reinforce human intelligence so that it can achieve more.

Advanced nuclear is challenged to design and construct on short timelines, with smaller budgets and fewer workers. Digitalization can help companies overcome these constraints. Unfortunately, a digital twin (DT) is often presented as a monolith. This results in organizations abandoning DTs as having benefits that are minimal or unrealized in time. Many perceive DTs as too large an undertaking to even begin. However, digitalization isn't a track meet; it's a marathon of incremental milestones. And, like all races, it has a starting line. This session will summarize a journey that Argonne National Laboratory and Implexus Lab made to digitize the Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop (METL), a test facility for advancing sodium fast reactors. Components were designed with Inventor software and assembled in Navisworks software, and AutoCAD software generated construction documents. Integrating with Revit provided a DT foundation. Ultimately, the suite of Autodesk tools enabled the creation of a DT boasting live data visualization within a virtual reality (VR) environment.

This session will walk you through an incredibly simple yet powerful workflow that will not only save you time and money but will also give you incredible visuals and models to kick off your projects.

ECOFACT is a €12 million Horizon 2020 project aimed at developing an ECO-innovative energy FACTory management platform for four demo sites: Arçelik (white goods industry), Athenian Brewery (Heineken brewing company), Gullón (biscuit factory) and Tofaş (a body painting plant of Stellantis vehicles). This platform features a dashboard that includes an LCA/LCCA module based on SimaPro and an Energy and Resource Management System (ERMS) built on Autodesk Platform Services. The ERMS consists of a Digital Twin Platform (DTP) that combines industrial digital twin models of production lines and machines with simulation and optimization tools into a single web environment. Using an advanced IIoT infrastructure, each digital twin streams real-time field data to ensure user-friendly monitoring. Managers and operators can run simulation and optimization applications integrated into the DTP for improved factory management in terms of energy, resources, and costs.

Digital transformation ​is how manufacturing processes are managed throughout production on the factory floor. It helps operations collect the capacity limits, real-time asset usage, and effectiveness.​ This is achieved by production planning and tracking, empowering interested parties to evaluate production efficiency and identify areas of congestion. Improve visibility and reporting by acquiring data from different manufacturing operations. Digital manufacturing operations enable evidence-based examinations of present environment opportunities to enhance quality and productivity. The data will also underscore areas where investment or divestment might be beneficial.

How efficiently are your products getting from production to warehouse to shipping docks? As you consider new factory designs to improve these material-handling processes, it's critical to have a complete understanding of how your resources and processes interconnect. When Cardinal Glass wanted to optimize its material handling to minimize shipping delays from the factory, the company used simulation with FlexSim to validate its proof of concept and discover new improvement opportunities. The simulation helped to rebalance the workload and identify a reconfiguration that led to a 29% decrease in shipping operation time. This also formed the basis for a digital twin that enables real-time optimization of warehouse goods storage and dock assignments, with daily assignment, location, and maintenance recommendations.

Industrialized construction: The goal is to accelerate the pace of delivery, increase schedule certainty, and improve the flow of work. Owners and project teams are increasingly using "pop-up" near-site prefabrication facilities to achieve these outcomes. However, the promise of industrialized construction is not achieved simply by shifting the work off-site. Entering the prefab environment presents unique challenges, notably in line layout optimization, material flow, and workload balancing. Easley and Rivers—in collaboration with ICG Consulting and powered by Autodesk FlexSim technology—learned to bring together craft expertise to mitigate these risks with tried-and-true lean manufacturing methods and industrial engineering best practices. By using discrete-event simulation, the team has not only improved the reliability of delivery to the field, but it's also significantly enhanced production standards.
