数字化结构

Time pressure, unexpected costs, and changes in design and delays are inevitable in nearly all construction projects. In most cases, erroneous or inefficient sharing of information and data is the underlying cause for these issues.

These barriers are torn down by connecting and sharing data across all elements of the construction chain in real time, increasing productivity and efficiency. This digitalisation of sites advances the construction industry and is fundamental to what is often referred to as intelligent construction.

Construction companies agree digitalisation is a trend that will drive the industry and lead it to make tremendous gains in both productivity and quality. According to the Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry, 93 per cent of construction players agree that digitalisation will influence every one of their processes.

To address the industry’s needs to share 3D data in real time, Leica Geosystems developedConX, a cloud solution and web interface to seamlessly integrate, manage and analyse surveying and machine control workflows for construction projects.

Construction data in real time, everywhere

According to Roland Berger, a global strategy consulting firm, the four keys to the digital transformation are:

• Digital data
• Digital access
• Automation
• 连接性

从这个意义上讲，Leica Conx旨在通过集成和自动化工作流程，启用连接机器的遥控器以及创建从办公室到现场和背部的实时数据交换，从而增加协作并简化机器控制操作的数据处理。就业现场的人员和机器需要共享相同的数据并与更改保持同步，以便可以按时，预算和规格完成工作。CONX允许用户共享和可视化定位，参考模型和构造数据。连接到CONX的现场和机器控制解决方案可以远程接收和共享信息，并访问Web界面，以可将数据可视化到任何地方，并使用Internet访问。

“Leica ConX is an investment to simplify and expedite the flow of critical information between the site and the office helping to maximise the productivity of the technology and resources while reducing the burden of data collection, aggregation and reporting,” said Doug Eggert, product manager at Leica Geosystems.

最开放，用户友好的解决方案

这种基于云的协作工具使用户能够有效地管理所有连接的建筑项目，包括第三方平台，并与所有利益相关者共享与工作相关的数据。使用CONX，未经验的用户将能够可视化和验证本地化参考模型，调查数据和构建数据。

“When investing in Leica Geosystems machine control and positioning technology, operators can choose to connect their products to the ConX platform, giving them the tool to aggregate, manage and store 3D data at the project level. Once connected, each product can be supported remotely and can seamlessly exchange data to and from any other connected applications or devices and applications connected to the customer account. In this way, ConX makes information accessible to everyone working on a construction project in the role of designing, constructing, managing or validating the completion of work.

We are working hard to keep things simple and avoid introducing new and cumbersome workflows to our end user. Instead we automate existing workflows and incorporate the wealth of information generated on a modern jobsite into intuitive analysis tools making it easy to influence and monitor the production of the job site,” said Eggert.

趋向数字化

Even though there is a trend toward digitalisation in the construction industry, few construction companies are taking complete advantage of tools that digitise their processes. In an analysis by Harvard Business Review that compared how digitally advanced 22 sectors are, construction ranked second to last.

建筑行业的参与者制定了他们将如何整合数字化的策略，可以更好地创建新业务，保持竞争力并提高生产力。忽略这一趋势的公司由于缺乏生产力而失去业务有可能落后。

“We are seeing an increase in project tenders requiring the use of 3D machines and field solutions for not only production and optimisation but also the subsequent data capture that is used to validate and report the work that was completed. Managing all of this data is an ever increasing problem for our customers so we aim to provide the best solution to solve it,” concluded Eggert.
