Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Automation on the Tile Manufacturing Industry

by

Finance, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and films – these are some of the major industries that one thinks about when AI, or artificial intelligence, is mentioned.

What people do not know is that AI has moved far beyond its initial stages and now has entered every field possible. It is not just being used in the service sector, but is also advancing the field of manufacturing as well.

The tile manufacturing industry is one of the significant examples of how AI and automation are changing this field. AI is reshaping the way tiles are designed, produced, and even sold. [Read more…] about Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Automation on the Tile Manufacturing Industry

How automation of building information modelling reduces risk in large-scale construction projects

by

By Jesus Sanchez, president, Modelo Tech Studio

Construction projects of large-scale are complex in nature. Several stakeholders, project deadlines, regulatory demands, evolving designs, and vast streams of data create a climate in which risk is inevitable but manageable. It is here that Building Information Modeling (BIM) automation is revolutionary.

Automation of workflow in BIM environments enables construction companies to identify potential clashes in advance, enhance the coordination process, avoid cost increases, and reduce project delays considerably. Due to the complexity of the projects, construction companies are collaborating with BIM experts for strategic modeling.

Automation of BIM is no longer a choice in larger infrastructure, commercial high-rises, industrial facilities, and healthcare projects, but a risk mitigation factor. [Read more…] about How automation of building information modelling reduces risk in large-scale construction projects
