New Business Models in Modular Construction
In this session, Dave Hettinger leads an esteem panel of executives from within the modular building realm to discuss some of today’s new and innovative business models.
Building the 21st Century: Technology’s Impact on the Construction Workforce
Technology has rapidly changed during our lifetimes. A calculator, novel, CD player, and computer now fit neatly within our pockets in the form of a smartphone. Technology revolutionized the landscape for factories, travel agencies, banks, and taxis. What impact will technology have on construction?
BuiltWorlds Venture Forum Demo Drop – Abagy
Abagy is a software provider in the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) space. Abagy is focusing on the high mix/low volume manufacturing market (initially welding, cutting and painting) consisting of 200,000+ manufacturers.
The Supply Chain of Modularization
Supply chain management programs have been particularly difficult to deploy within commercial construction, largely due to varied local building codes, unique project requirements, difficulty in creating reusable and scalable standard designs and details, a highly fragmented labor force, and a decentralized project site assembly model
Optimizing the Use of Real-Time Data
AI will force us to rethink how we approach decision-making in construction. Several disrupters, from AI to robotics, additive manufacturing to IoT, will change the way we build.
Using AI to Produce Actionable Insights for the Construction Process
The presentation will give concrete examples, of both tactical and strategical insights given to managers, such as automatically identifying missing elements (i.e. a forgotten socket), receiving alerts of bottlenecks to come that could reduce productivity and create additional costs, and analyzing the throughput of the different activities, sub-contractors and project as a whole to identify what requires the attention of experienced managers.
