With AI developing at a rapid rate, it promises to bring dramatic changes to the construction industry. James Bowles, founder of Freeform 4D, outlines some of what to expect and how best to prepare for the future.
As pressures facing the construction sector mount, technology has a huge role to play in tackling the widening skills and talent shortages. It’s now up to the sector to truly unlock the potential of automation to improve efficiency, productivity and accuracy, says Andy Clifton of Topcon Positioning GB.
AI is here, and it is learning. The question is, will it prove to be a labour-saving, efficiency-boosting imitator of human intelligence for the UK’s geospatial mapping or an alarming interference?
As the two sectors continue to converge, Arvind Rao, CTO of Edge Platforms, EdgeVerve, asks what Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries can learn from manufacturing about the digital transformation.
The AI Innovation hub aims to bundle the existing AI activities in the Group and accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence in the AEC/O (Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations) and media industries.
The construction industry continues to face a myriad of challenges in 2024: recruitment gaps, sustainability concerns and an ongoing need to improve worker safety. Here, Dave Walsha, sales manager at drive system supplier EMS, explains why the adoption of robotics could provide a resolution.
