Digitalisation: a helping hand in a turbulent world?

In his keynote address, Executive Vice President for Hexagon Geosystems, Mark Concannon emphasises how digitalisation is proving vital for businesses across a variety of industries. He outlined how the UN’s predicted rise in urban populations in African and Asian countries, together with shifting economies, and a global pandemic, is accelerating the adoption of digitally connected infrastructure and smart construction techniques, both by governments and private organisations.

Focusing on the pandemic and the new and unique challenges of social distancing, limited access and less employees onsite, he highlighted three key questions for businesses.

1. How do we keep our employers safe?
2. How do we ensure productivity?
3. How do we remain competitive?

He went on to explain that digitalisation and associated technologies already enable remote communication, the sharing of information and the ability to create virtual representations of real-life settings. Widespread application of these technologies can help overcome the key challenges facing construction and infrastructure development, making the vision of a truly interconnected environment a reality.

Digitalisation fits into what is thought of as the fourth industrial revolution. Industry 4.0 covers areas such as AI, Internet of Things, BIM, Smart sensors, Smart Cities, Smart factories and the digital representation of physical assets.

在他的其他主题演讲中，康纳农提供了示例，说明了六角形如何涵盖现实捕获，定位，设计和仿真，位置智能和自主技术，为利益相关者提供所需的数据，以改bob体育报道善服务并促进可持续性。bob综合app赌博

He shared, “The growing population, combined with increased urbanisation, all place pressure on governments to implement a Smart City strategy that uses mapping technology as a platform to provide services and solve city problems.”

为了实现智慧城市，政府首先需要该地区及其控制资产的准确基础图。目前在美国和欧洲使用的地理系统解决方案在地面上和下方捕获了厘米精度，该数据集由政府，城市，消费者，汽车制造商和手机公司用于5G基础设施规划。

Concannon went on to highlightHxDR，，，，a new cloud-based digital reality management and visualisation platform. “In line with Industry 4.0 and 5G infrastructure planning, Hexagon HxDR combines machine learning and AI with our sensor and software leadership, creating an immersive, accurate digital representation of the real world.”

Digital Twins - digitised versions of physical assets, updated in real-time with real world sensors - were once thought of as science fiction. In a further example of how digitalisation accelerates change, Concannon explained how the concept of Digital Twins is being adopted in successful building installations globally and in other industries, including oil and gas, mining and manufacturing.

He also demonstrated how data capture can even be utilised to 3D print assets, citing the first 3D printed office building (250 square metres) in the world, which opened in 2016 in Dubai, and took only 17 days to print and two days to install. Such techniques can reduce building time by 50-70%, and labour costs by 50-80%.

Concannon强调了Hexagon在传感bob体育报道器，软件和自主技术方面的领导能力，以促进智能数字现实 - 一个完整的物理世界的数字复制品，其中所有相关的事物，位置和过程都是机器可读的，并且遵守算法的力量。

To wrap up his keynote, Concannon shared his vision of an autonomous future. “Autonomy may seem very far away, but it isn’t. Many of the tasks we do today are leading us towards the facilitation of autonomy.”

通过现实捕获技术数字化我们的物理世界bob综合app赌博

Juergen Mayer, President, Reality Capture Division, Hexagon Geosystems and Faheem Khan, Vice President, Survey Solutions, Hexagon Geosystems, focused on the power of reality capture technology to digitalise the physical world.

Mayer noted, “A growing number of urban projects require improved connectivity between the construction site and head office, as well as across multiple parties and geographies – they also rely on technical solutions that efficiently deliver high accuracy, reliable data.”

He explained how the sharing of this digital information between all parties, through all stages of the construction process, from concept to completion, reduces costly delays and overruns.

Innovation in reality capture technology

Mayer illustrated the latest innovations for reality capture workflows using the Leica laser scanning portfolio, fusing 3D laser scanning, stereo and HDR camera technology to capture 3D, precise colour imagery.

他还举例说明了现实捕获如何为包括飞机和零售等广泛行业增加价bob综合app赌博值，这些行业采用了数字孪生解决方案来告知和改善运营，从设计和构建到结构的完整生命周期。

进一步的创新使领域从移动，空降或地面平台上完成工作流程，自动化，简单而高效。可以通过云直接从现场共享信息，并与在同一项目上实时工作的多个站点和团队进行连接和协作。

Accessible automated workflows

Laser scanning technology that was once the preserve of specialists and a select field of applications is now available to everyone. Faheem Khan observed that a non-specialist, with a single push of a button, can produce a scan, import data, extract targets and deliver complete registered georeferenced data in a matter of minutes.

为了进一步说明Leica Reality捕获解决方案如何交付，他bob综合app赌博讨论了truview，，，，a photo-realistic data viewer, produced directly from the field, allowing users to take measurements, create redline, collaborate or add intelligence to the data.

In conclusion Khan said, “2020 has proven to us is that the world has changed. As professionals we are in a prime position to harness the power of digital technologies that help inform our industries and assist the transformation. Eliminating guess work and executing in a smart and safer way will only position us for growth.”

转向数字构造

区域部门经理重型建筑公司Dmitry Lykov和亚洲机器控制部门的高级部门经理Owen Williams研究了新的技术和流程，有助于应对重型建筑运营的关键挑战。

With ever more complex projects, the pressure to reduce costs, time and error, whilst also increasing productivity and improving safety on construction sites, has never been greater.

“Digitalisation of heavy construction workflows can be made possible through the Internet of Things. Machine Control is firmly embedded within this ethos, we understand this philosophy and are working towards an autonomous future,” said Lykov.

Williams highlighted some of Leica Geosystems' technologies within the Heavy Construction Segment which increases efficiency and simplifies learning across the work site,making it easy for operators to move between machines, whatever the application.

现实世界项目

Al Nisr构造is pioneering machine control for airfields in the United Arab Emirates, following the time saved using Leica’s solutions to complete project work on the Abu Dhabi airfield. The approach they took increased the company’s performance, improved its reputation, and is helping them to win new projects in the future.

威廉姆斯说：“借助大型基础设施项目，例如机场，承包商希望在截止日期内完成良好的完成，因为这使他们避免了重大的经济罚款。”

Working on thePulau Tekong reclamation Projectin Singapore, Halex used a digital excavator system and a cloud-based interface for remote support and data transfer. The company is committed to continued development of their digitalisation drive as they realise the potential for further gains in productivity.

“世界各地的政府现在正在提高重型建筑部门的效率。最近几个月，我们可以看到，在这些挑战时期，这已经加速了。数字化和自主权将推动未来，我们需要做好准备。”威廉姆斯说。
