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

The global expansion of data centers isn’t just a technical trend. It is a fundamental change in how commerce, communication, and innovation function on a global scale. [Read more…] about The Global Expansion of Data Centers: What Businesses Need to Know

Perspective from Zebra Technologies: Pocket automation – the pragmatic path to a resilient supply chain in 2026

by

By Andre Luecht, global strategy lead – transport and logistics at Zebra Technologies

While full-site automation grabs headlines, the most decisive trend involves targeted, scalable investments that empower frontline workers, build resilience, and perfect the all-important final customer touchpoint.

Discussions about the future of manufacturing and logistics often conjure images of vast, lights-out facilities operating with near-total autonomy. While these visions capture the imagination, the practical path forward for most organizations in 2026 looks quite different.

Faced with persistent economic uncertainty and intense cost pressures, leaders find themselves questioning the wisdom of massive, high-risk capital expenditures. The real, decisive trend shaping our industry lies not in monolithic, top-down automation but in a more pragmatic, ground-up approach: “pocket automation”.
