Hegla’s Shop-Floor Assistant App works to close gaps produced by the need to unify different digital processes. The app provides operating personnel with key information to help reduce process times. For example, the “Maintenance” section of Shop-Floor Assistant offers comprehensive options for simplifying and centralizing maintenance and service tasks. Whether it’s a glass machine, stacker, roll-up gate or indoor crane, all documents and maintenance jobs can be filed in the app, which reduces handling time and means the information is available anywhere via smartphone, tablet or an AR headset.

Faro Technologies Inc. launched Faro Trek, a fully autonomous 3D mobile scanning integration built in collaboration with the Massachusetts-based robotics firm Boston Dynamics. The solution combines the scanning speed and accuracy of the FARO FocusS Laser Scanner with Spot, a quadruped robot capable of remote and autonomous data capture in challenging environments. Ideal for general contractors and construction managers to verify production and quality on jobsites, Trek leverages Spot’s Autowalk feature to create a repeatable automated scanning workflow.

MicroShade updated its free online simulation tool, SimShade. The original version evaluated the impact different shading and glazing solutions have on the overall performance of façades. The second edition of SimShade is available on its own website, Simshade.dk, where users can generate reports that provide an extensive overview of technical data, economics and environmental specifications on both component and building level.

Adelio Lattuada’s augmented reality program for service provides technical assistance to customers. The program uses the camera of a smartphone/tablet and observes problems, errors, faults or alarms on machines, and solves them more intuitively thanks to 3D icons and indications applied to the real environment, say company officials. This faster service can reduce downtime caused by machine stops, according to the company.

Thornton Tomasetti launched Beacon, an embodied carbon measurement tool. The tool is an Autodesk Revit plugin that generates a comprehensive data visualization of a project’s embodied carbon by material type, building element and floor levels. It also grades the model’s embodied carbon levels against the Carbon Leadership Forum’s database of models by building type.
