Applying Computer Vision for Storytelling in the Construction Industry

September 27, 2022

Applying computer whitepaper
A picture is worth a thousand words and is often able to answer the questions of who, what, where and why. Construction sites are often bustling with workers and have lots of activities happening at the same time. A picture of a construction site tells a thousand tales. Analyzing such pictures using computer vision techniques can help tell a story of what’s happening at site, which can help improve efficiency and safety, minimize risk, and monitor project-related progress. Construction companies are always looking for better project monitoring options and computer vision techniques provide more efficient, automated, round-the-clock monitoring.

UNPACKING THE BENEFITS OF STRUCTURAL BIM

whitePaper | September 19, 2022

Building Information Modeling, or BIM, is first and foremost a centralized, collaborative process where project stakeholders work together and share information. This allows for better organization of design and construction, with professionals from various disciplines contributing to the process. Naturally, this goes beyond simply sharing a 3D model, as each model contains data that will be useful throughout the project life cycle. Historically however, construction professionals worked in isolation, as the means of communication and technology weren’t as evolved as they are today. Sometimes, for instance, important information on 2D drawings would get lost. Consequently, the design phase was often plagued with fragmented deliverables, miscommunication and limited visualization, which often required rework.

DORA Metrics The Baseline Metrics For Engineering Excellence

whitePaper | June 15, 2022

Digital Transformation has become a strong reality for organizations large and small. Pre- Covid, pre-2020, Digital Transformation was a buzzword, and a nice-to-have initiative that only the most mature engineering organizations embarked on. But everyone has had to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives to support more remote work, more online access, more on-demand services. And the brunt of the effort of course, falls on the engineering teams.

5 Best Practices to Identify the Best Tender

whitePaper | May 28, 2021

Reliable subcontractors who can deliver work on time are vital for keeping any project on budget and on schedule. And choosing the wrong subcontractor introduces risk to your project that grows exponentially as time goes on. It’s clear that picking the right subcontractor is one of the most important jobs a head contractor does, but it’s also one of the most difficult. Slow, manual processes can impede your ability to find the right subcontractors, choose the best tender, and effectively communicate with your subcontractors when the project starts.

Multiphysics Engineering Simulation in the Cloud

whitePaper | December 10, 2021

A multiphysics approach to design is of the essence to fully capture the realworld interactions between the physical phenomena at play inside today’s complex products. This means that to develop the best products need to adopt simulation tools capable of handling structural, thermal, and fluid flow behavior with high-fidelity and in a timely manner. Access to CAE simulation tools in the cloud is therefore critical and can offer a competitive advantage, as it enables engineering teams to quickly assess product performance and accelerate design iterations by leveraging its virtually limitless computational power and collaborative nature. Engineers and designers have traditionally been constrained by legacy desktop CAE tools. Neither the computational power available locally, or its associated cost, scale up or down on-demand. N
