This session will demonstrate how to extend Fusion 360 Manage using ForgeFlow. ForgeFlow is a suite of pre-built, configurable Autodesk Forge integrations available by subscription. ForgeFlow includes powerful administration tools for Fusion 360 Manage that extends and increases the value of product lifecycle management (PLM) for your business.

This roundtable session is a prelude discussion to the class BO2858: One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap for Autodesk® PLM 360 Implementation: Sprint to the Finish. In this session, we expand on the case study presented in the lecture, diving deeper into the discussion and examples from the speakers and attendees on what the implementation process will be like and sharing potential ways to accelerate the process. These discussions focus on how to plan for PLM implementation and what unique considerations participants should watch out for. We also explore industry examples on how to improve cross-functional teamwork and global collaboration, as well as process and data optimization with innovative implementation use cases. If you are considering implementing Autodesk PLM 360 cloud-based software or are just about to begin, this in-depth discussion can help you prepare for your experience and give you the customized and personalized knowledge to prepare ahead and accelerate the process.

The construction industry generates an estimated 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily, yet most organizations struggle to make sense of this information. Autodesk Forma (ACC) unifies project data, ensuring teams speak a common language by transforming into an intelligent Common Data Environment (CDE). In this hands-on lab, participants will configure ACC as an ISO 19650 compliant CDE by setting up naming conventions, creating multi-step reviews, and implementing trigger-based workflows for automated file review processes. The session will also cover folder structure configuration, access permissions, version control, and embedding metadata like status codes. Finally, participants will explore how to leverage ACC Issues for consistent Quality Assurance (QA) workflows across 2D/3D documents, ensuring effective information delivery.

In complex civil infrastructure projects—such as highways, bridges, and utilities—the ability to turn field data into actionable insights is essential for performance, safety, and cost control. This session will show how MRS Logística used Forma Build software and Insight Builder to convert raw field inputs into real-time analytics, enabling smarter and faster decisions across project lifecycles. By structuring data from Issues, RFIs, Checklists, and Forms, MRS created dynamic dashboards that track physical progress, monitor compliance, and surface predictive alerts before risks escalate. These insights connected field operations with executive decision making, providing transparency over construction quality, schedule health, and contract performance. You’ll learn how to structure data flows from the field, configure Insight Builder rules, and deploy scalable dashboards that support real-time monitoring, predictive insights, and strategic oversight in civil infrastructure delivery.

As construction teams face growing pressure to deliver faster and smarter, many still rely on fragmented tools that complicate workflows and muddy project visibility. This case study explores how Rodgers Builders transitioned from BIM 360 Field to Forma Build software while adopting Power BI to create unified dashboards for issue tracking, form management, and asset-based production insights. By fully embracing the capabilities of Forma Build—rather than piecemealing external solutions—Rodgers streamlined field reporting, enhanced quality control, and ensured data consistency from project start to finish. You’ll learn how to build connected reporting ecosystems that empower field teams, reduce manual work, and increase the ROI of their Autodesk Forma investment.

Fusion Lifecycle software can be deployed faster than any other PLM (product lifecycle management) tool on the market. This was tested for a company that wanted to take its ventilator project to production in the shortest time possible due to the COVID-19 ventilator shortage. A prototype of the ventilator was completed using Fusion 360 software. Now it is time to take it into mass production using Items and BOMs, ECO, and NPI Workspace of Fusion Lifecycle.
