The global competitive landscape for manufacturing is squeezing everyone – from the Tier 1 automotive companies to electronics goods manufacturers. It is shortening the required time to market and with little warning. This high-pressure environment requires high productivity from its players resulting in either doing things faster and leaner without compromising quality or giving the game away to a hungrier competitor who is willing to do whatever it takes.

Healthier spaces mean healthier people. The pandemic has given us all a chance to help rebuild the idea of healthy buildings from the ground up—not just until we make it through the pandemic, but long term. Keeping people safe now hinges on implementing a fact-based, expert developed, and dynamic approach to occupant wellness: one that helps mitigate both air and surface based viral transmission risks, while also increasing efficiencies and the financial health of your operations.

Advances in technology are transforming how construction sites operate. Handheld mobile devices, drones, sensors, robotics, wearables and more enable companies to interconnect every facet of their projects while collecting and analyzing relevant data, “the new gold.” Moreover, no matter the scope of the work at hand, technology can be adapted, reducing exposure and boosting efficiency. When driven by a new understanding of credible leadership and commitment, this change can lead the industry into a new era of resilient, reliable and safe construction projects.

Bridge design is no simple matter. While traditional 3D modeling software is useful for buildings, these structures don’t present the same challenges that bridge design does. Jalpesh Patel, Senior Technical Consultant with Allplan explains why: Buildings are mainly linear, vertical structures with minimal to no obstruction. Bridges, on the other hand, are non-linear, horizontal structures that must weave through obstacles, existing structures, and multiple right-ofway restrictions.

There is a revolution underway in the design and construction industry with digital fabrication, modular construction, 3D printing of building components (and even buildings), and robotics playing a larger role in every aspect of the construction process. The instructions for these buildings are evolving from paper-based documentation to digital information that is both human and machine-readable.
