As a manufacturer and installer of structural glazing products, custom designed and assembled in an automated factory, Starline Windows is uniquely positioned to work with developers and architects directly within the Revit environment. This creates many advantages and challenges in working across organizations and various internal departments. I have worked extensively with Autodesk and their Partners to implement a design process at Starline Windows that represents our product to the highest level of excellence within our shop drawings, while simultaneously creating machine data files and material managment information. I will share my experience in identifying oportunities for digital transformation and process improvement, and I will speak to implementing change across organizational boundaries. I will discuss how to bridge from a modeling environment to a data centric solution while still maintaining a "data entry once" approach for efficient, agile project delivery.

The construction industry faces significant pressure to undergo digital transformation, necessitating the integration of all users, data, and stakeholders into a unified common data environment (CDE). Users seek flexibility in the platform and the ability to use multiple applications alongside Autodesk Forma. The Copenhagen Metro embarked on the challenge of transitioning to Autodesk Forma for the design and construction of the new M5 Metro Line. This presentation aims to share our journey of harnessing the capabilities of Workato to establish efficient workflows and automations. These initiatives facilitated Autodesk Forma implementation and enhanced user satisfaction of the platform. With cooperation from Autodesk, we've managed to speed up implementation of Forma Data Management and Forma Build modules, decrease time spent on tedious self-repeating tasks, increase quality, and use the functionalities of other tools by integrating applications with Autodesk Forma to create a holistic CDE.

In the post-pandemic era, organizations grapple with a dynamic workforce, making knowledge transfer a significant challenge. This fluidity necessitates that knowledge is not only stored effectively but also promptly retrievable when required, given the constant influx and outflow of personnel. Autodesk Forma, with its unlimited storage capability, is aptly serving as a robust knowledge vault for Sunway, enabling the firm to overcome this hurdle. The Autodesk Forma Files feature allows us to search keywords within contents, a strength we've capitalized on to maximize its utility. Today, we're pushing boundaries further by integrating Autodesk Forma with ChatGPT via OpenAI API. This integration embeds our files into vectors, forming the foundation for a Q&A system. This groundbreaking approach signifies a knowledge revolution, ensuring seamless knowledge transfer and accessibility, regardless of workforce dynamics.

ERP integrations typically take months to scope, configure, and deploy. That didn't work for Satterfield & Pontikes when they were switching from Procore to Forma Build and had a tight timeline to get on board with Autodesk's Cost Management. What they needed was a turn-key solution that would help them onboard within days, and support customization as they rolled out new workflows. They partnered with their Autodesk global platinum partner, Graitec, and adopted their new cloud application ERP SYNC — a cutting edge data synchronisation platform powered by Agave This session brings together experts from Satterfield & Pontikes, Graitec, Agave, and Autodesk to discuss the successful implementation of this integration under a challenging timeline. Discover how you can apply similar strategies to streamline integration between your own ERP and Cost Management systems.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers is transforming not only how we work—but what we need to build. As demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, so do the challenges: energy consumption, embodied carbon, land use, and impacts on nature and biodiversity.

In a world of constantly evolving construction software where you have to manage multiple tech stacks on projects, imagine the relief of having a single source of truth for each project? Enter Autodesk Forma. This case study of an IPD health care project aims to showcase how we structured our virtual coordination into a 3-pronged approach. First, we used Autodesk Forma Locations to break a floor plan down into Rooms and TAKT zones. Second, we created Autodesk Forma Assets for each room to track. And, third, we tied .RCP and In-Wall Sheets for those rooms using the Autodesk Forma Sheets module. The value? Getting to look at the whole lifecycle of the room—from when the walls were in DD stage, through various stages of design and trade coordination, prefabrication, installation, and, finally, QC, punch-list, and wall-close. At every phase of the project, the team had all the information they need within one platform: Autodesk Forma. This enabled the end user to view the historical context of coordination in one place. A win for all stakeholders.

As the land-grant university in Florida and an R1 research institution, the University of Florida (UF) has an extensive facilities inventory, with buildings ranging from the early 1900s to modern research facilities. With 500+ permanent or significant buildings totaling 30+ million gross square feet, it’s critical to have scalable solutions that combine existing systems and advanced technologies as we embrace Digital Prototypings, artificial intelligence (AI), and streamlined workflows. Using the power of Autodesk Platform Services and the Autodesk Forma common data environment (CDE), UF has automated the creation of Autodesk Tandem Digital Prototypings, which are fully connected to critical systems—including BAS streaming and back population of time series data, space management, and work management for assets, work history, and costing. Links are embedded in UF systems to facilitate easy access to Tandem from multiple entry points. Automating the manual effort involved in standing up twins has allowed us to focus on what matters: accurate models and timely data.

This session will be an introduction to a sustainable workflow initiative that uses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce lead times from the design phase to construction by up to 60%. Building upon the success of A-SPEC (the existing automated restroom design cloud service) initially introduced during AU 2021, we proudly introduce "A-SPEC Plus,” our newest generation of design process that uses the latest AI algorithms. The inclusion of advanced AI in this upgrade allows for the creation of restroom layouts/plans that prioritize user comfort and spacious designs. In addition to the plan proposals created based on the new design logic, A-SPEC Plus significantly reduces lead time from design to construction with very little input by using the capabilities of Autodesk Forma and Autodesk Platform Services. Potential applications of this technology extend far beyond restroom design. It also offers a scalable automated design solution for various building spaces and interior designs.
