In a recent announcement, leading architectural design and construction solutions provider, cove.tool launched a cloud-based software, revgen.tool, designed to make it simple for building product manufacturers to attract qualified leads, effectively market their products, and drive revenue. This unique, industry-first solution allows manufacturers to build relationships with engineering, architecture and construction (AEC) professionals with verified advanced building performance engines. This helps manufacturers make informed product decisions earlier in a project’s lifecycle.
Product performance within a project can be highlighted via the revgen.tool by manufacturers, and market their products for specific needs. Harnessing advanced analytics, the software sifts through thousands of building designs within architecture 3D models, which also includes BIM, to assist teams in identifying the best match for their products. This allows building product manufacturers to connect with the right engineers and architects and strengthen relationships. AEC teams can access real-time data to identify new products, which in turn helps them save time and resources. As a trusted third-party partner shares the data, it is easier for manufacturers to build trust and establish relationships with AEC professionals by sharing accurate data for projects and products.
Patrick Chopson, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at cove.tool, “Driven by the urgent need to rapidly reduce carbon emissions and take climate action, there are political, economic, regulatory, and climate-driven macros on a global scale driving a massive shift in the design and construction of buildings. To help meet the targets before 2030, it is essential for manufacturers to partner with architects and engineers.” He further added, “With revgen.tool, this is finally possible. Manufacturers and design teams can now better align on what products may best fit with real-time, project-specific performance analysis. Newer, high-performance products can be highlighted, encouraging adoption that helps create more comfortable, efficient, and sustainable buildings. Our system enables manufacturers and design teams to forge stronger, more successful relationships based on data.”

Hilti | January 27, 2023
On January 26, 2023, Hilti North America, a provider of innovative tools, software, technology, and services for the commercial construction industry, introduced the PLT 400, a digital layout tool created to help increase the productivity of jobsite layout crews.
Single-operator tools like the PLT 400 are vital due to continued labor shortages and jobsite restrictions. This tool improves accuracy and layout speed, features advanced prism tracking and auto-calibration, and requires minimal training. Improved technology, faster layout, and fewer labor hours contribute to a cost-saving and productivity-boosting solution for jobsites.
The PLT 400 can lay out digital BIM (Building Information Modeling) designed plans without the time-consuming step of creating points on the plans first. It can also help keep your BIM model up to date during the construction process, contributing to an optimized end-to-end workflow. The company's digital construction software is also compatible with AutoCAD, Revit, and other specialized layout platforms.
The layout tool works in tandem with Hilti's entire solutions ecosystem, including ON!Track and the Fleet program. Aside from access to high-performance tools and cutting-edge technology, Fleet customers also receive free verification of tool accuracy, complying with manufacturer specifications and theft coverage to reduce unexpected expenses and financial risk. In addition, the PLT 400 comes with an industry-leading Tool Warranty and is available in the United States and Canada.
Michael Haugtvedt, Product Manager at Hilti North America, shared, "We took customer feedback on our previous total stations and addressed those pain points with the launch of the PLT 400." He added, "This camera-based tool has enhanced prism tracking and upgraded communications making sure you stay connected and increase layout productivity on the jobsite, while a built-in calibration module helps ensure your layout is within spec every time you turn the tool on."

Procore | January 19, 2023
eMOD, a leading construction safety software platform, recently announced its integration with Procore Technologies, Inc., a prominent global provider of construction management software. This integration will enable Procore users to have access and streamline processes with one of the market's leading construction safety management solutions.
The integration allows data migration between Procore and eMOD apps, which helps reduce the amount of time spent filling out daily documentation manually.
This makes it easier for users to setup, coordinate, and manage safety responsibilities collectively.
CEO of eMOD, Kaitlin Frank stated, "Our mission is to increase field engagement around safety and help significantly reduce construction site injuries." He further added, "After a successful beta integration, over 2 million Procore users can now migrate data between both platforms to better manage safety on every project quickly and easily as long as they have an eMOD account."

Users can now utilize the integration to import newly developed Procore projects into eMOD with the few clicks, and without the need to recreate the project. Users can also submit a PTP in eMOD, and the data will automatically generate a Procore Daily Log in the same project. In addition, customers can monitor compliance and analyze documents, through eMOD's online interface or the Procore Platform to accurately know the situation at the project site.
