The rise of robotics and AI

March 3, 2017

No longer the domain of science fiction, robotics, and artificial intelligence are becoming important business drivers. Our timeline looks back at how we got here. The mechanical limitations of robots have meant that they have thus far not had so many applications in the real world (outside the military), but over the next 5-10 years, it seems that they will join us in mainstream life.

3D-Components

3D-Components AS, designs, assembles and delivers plug-and-play robotics systems for additive manufacturing. Various additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are being introduced in a continuous basis. There are still extensive limitations with each method pertinent to materials and alloys, eventual properties, surface conditions, manufacturability, distortion, subsequent post-production steps and many more.

Realizing Connected Construction Promises: Unlocking Growth through Value Chain Digitization and Efficiency Monitoring

whitePaper | August 8, 2022

Engineering and construction (E&C) companies have traditionally accepted this volatility as a result of the inherent complexity of jobs: Construction projects bring together contractors, suppliers, equipment, labor, and global supply chains that are more precarious than ever. But one root problem is that most E&C companies are still trying to juggle this high level of complexity with a relatively low level of technology adoption. The construction industry lags far behind nearly all others in digitization, spending less than 2% of revenue on Information Technology

HEALTHIER BUILDINGS KEEP EVERYONE HEALTHIER TOGETHER

whitePaper | June 30, 2021

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.
