Many argue tha the major driver to better manage this complexity is the engineering paradigm of Industry 4.0. To succeed in this new age, engineers must look for solutions to adapt engineering to a more dynamic world. This white paper introduces a solution to address the engineering challenges of the modern-day industrial revolution.

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.

Engineering calculations are at the heart of civil engineering design. The calculation sheets that accompany a project can provide evidence of the design competency and that the specifications are met. Common building calculations are formalized in design guides, such as Eurocodes, AASHTO, IBC etc. The equations tend to be mathematically simple – only needing basic arithmetic operations on the design parameters – but they still require engineering experience to determine the which, why, and when.

Let's face it. The world has changed and so have we. It has changed in ways that we cannot even fully comprehend yet. We do not know what the new world will look like after this crisis but we certainly know that it won't be the same as before.

Dry kilns are an integral part of manufacturing of wood products – they can also be one of the largest electrical power consumers in a modern sawmill. Dry kilns operating at suboptimal performance can increase drying cycle time, as well as waste thousands of dollars of electricity.
