Digital Twins for Different People, Different Ways of Working, and Different Industries

DANIEL LUTZ: Thank you for joining the session-- With different people, ways of working and industries to the digital twin. Let's start with the Safe Harbor Statement. Because in this session, we are talking partly about beta software. And we can't guarantee when, how, and if the solution will come in likeness.

So let's take a look to the agenda. We start with the introduction. In the second part, we take a look to the interoperability between AEC and D&M with AnyCAD, with Inventor to Revit, DataExchange, MID, IFC, and in the end, with a comparison of all technologies. In the next step, we take a look to the extended reality, Tandem, and the outlook in the industry platforms.

Now, let's start with the introduction about us. My name is Daniel Lutz. I'm based in Germany in the south of Germany. And I'm a Senior Solution Engineer in the D&M department in the DACH region. Then I hand over to Jochen.

JOCHEN TANGER: Yes. I'm Jochen Tanger. And I'm also a civil-- or not also. I'm a civil engineer and also in the DACH region. But I'm more in the AEC industry. So we are co-workers, but one for the AEC industry, and the other one for the D&M industry.

DANIEL LUTZ: So then, go ahead with the introduction, why and what. We have, in the production, a couple of challenges. We must create new products. We have demand changes. We have cost reductions, initiatives. We have quality changes, and we have changes in the procurement.

And that's the reason why we talk about the digital twin in this industry. So now let's talk look to the small video. That's the data or that's based on the data set in how we show here, all technologies.

So at first, here are a couple of customers or examples. This is showing a company in Austria for filtration and separation systems and heat exchangers and cooling system. They are using factory design utilities and a lot of tools from the Autodesk environment.

Here, a small picture of one data set and a short video, how they work in the bidding process. They are using long-time factory design utilities. And it works like LEGO. We have, see here, this steel construction. They place the filter modules in the middle step by step. And you see here, these small connectors. It's very easy to place the components.

And now, the steel construction is too small. And we go into the properties and changing the steel construction for 11 modules. And now, we go ahead for the placing of the next modules. So it's very easy.

And we see here, this data set later again. Now, here the engine. And now in the last step, we place here, a handrail. And we have here, the same challenge. We must change the handrail from 6 to 11 filters.

And in the last step, we place the platform for the stair and place here, the stair on the platform. What we see here is the stair is too long. And we measure here, this distance from the base plate to the end of the stair. Copy this parameter, and place this parameter in the properties of the iLogic form.

That's the height at the end. And now, we have finished very fast and very easy in this data set. So, the goal is-- or we have here, a statement for the head of engineering. We doubled the win rate when we using this kind of offerings to the customer.

Next example is Magna Steyr, also in Austria in Graz. They build cars for BMW, for Land Rover, or the new Fisker electric vehicle. And we see here, all these conveyors, all robots, all production lines. And we see here, the power of our system and for big assemblies and big plants. They're using a lot of tools from the Autodesk portfolio.

Then, let's jump in the next example.

JOCHEN TANGER: And that's my example. I have a little bit of motion sickness now after the video. But yeah, so you could see a lot of buildings already. So we were talking about a lot of manufacturing parts. And I think Dormakaba is a great example as well.

So they are a component manufacturer. But they evolved to a solution provider. So for them, it's key for them to have a security for houses. It's also key for them for example to show the flow of people walking through doors and so on. So to really see which doors are needed, how many doors are needed and so on.

So it's not just a manufacturing part for entrance systems and other door hardware. It's really that they give advice to their customers. And so it's definitely a mix out of the deal industry, the manufacturing industry, and the building industry.

And Factory OS is another example. And that's also a good example, because we are talking about modular housing or DFMA-- so what is it to design for manufacturing and assembly? That's really more and more key. So the prefabrication is more and more key for a lot of different customers.

And Factory OS is not just a customer of ours. We really we have a partnership with them. And with that partnership, we make sure that we learn from the modular housing, from all prefabrication to use that in our industries. So in the AEC and in the D&M industry, that's really what is the future. And that's why it's so important that those industries work together much more closely.

And with that, we would like to show some ideas of the interoperability between AEC and D&M. Because there are so many different ways of how we could exchange data files or data. And that's what we want to have a look at.

And first we start with AnyCAD.

DANIEL LUTZ: OK then, I go ahead with the AnyCAD technology. That's the current technology since Inventor 2021. And it's possible to integrate Revit projects to reference or import projects. We see here, the workflow.

We start again. We load the Revit project and see in the first picture or screenshot, all 3D views from Revit. And in the first step, we select one view. In the next step, we could select the categories from this view. And we could load this data from the local machine or from the cloud from the ACC Autodesk Construction Cloud.

So let's take a look on the IF end workflows on the integrated factory modeling workflow. We start with the 2D drawing from the building. And we integrate 3D workspaces. That's not a function. That's an idea of how we could work. And this 3D workspace coming from Revit, and we could include this data with the AnyCAD for Revit functionality in Inventor.

In the next step, each line production is built from this factory design utilities we see before on the choice example. And in the next step, we replace the workspace with the real data from the MAP site. And that's also coming from Revit with AnyCAD. And at the end, we integrate the building.

So then, let's take a look-- oh no, I forgot this slide. We see here the collision check. We see here the finish production C-line with all other workspaces. And we see here, in a very nice view, that the workspace of the robots and the orange workspace of the MAP is clashing. And for that, we replace the workspace with the EDP data.

And now, let's take a look into this video.

JOCHEN TANGER: Exactly, so you explained already what we want to do. And here, we are in Revit. And you can see the colored workspaces already. And the idea is to export those workspaces only to Inventor.

So I have a separate view with those workspaces only that are now export. I mean, I just-- I don't export it. I just save the Revit file.

DANIEL LUTZ: So now, we are in Inventor. And I import here, this workspace. I select the 3D view. I check the categories and place these workspaces into Inventor on the urgent point.

Here we go. And now we see here the clash with the workspace from MAP and the workspace from the robots. So now, let's go ahead, and we see here, the clash detector from Navisworks. Now, we combine all data in Navisworks. And we have in a couple of seconds, all clashes between the MEP and the workspaces from the robot in the production scene.

And now, let's take a look in the Inventor export for Revit project. And we start in Navisworks. We see here, the work through. Go to the robot and notice here, this clash. But we double check it with the Clash Detective.

And as I select here, the production scene and the MAP. And we have here, a list of all clashes. We decide that Inventor, we must we decide to change the ventilation and the position of the light. And for that, I've prepared a few for the Revit export.

Only here, the production scene, I go to the Simplified Tools in Inventor, select the Revit project prototype, and export here, this Revit project. And we see in the multi-browser, the Revit project is included, finished, as we see here. And if we have a changing, we can update the file step by step.

JOCHEN TANGER: Yes, and I take this file over. So I insert it, I link it in my Revit project and place it here at the right position. And now what you just said before, I need to move the ventilation system. And I need to move the lights so that they fit much better, and that we don't have that clash anymore.

And so it's also important-- I mean, you changed the model view. You made it smaller, right? So what was it called, the light model, what did you call that, Daniel?

DANIEL LUTZ: Pardon?

JOCHEN TANGER: The light model, how did you call it when you made it smaller? In Inventor, you created that Revit file, and you made it smaller, right? So you reduced the size. I just wanted to know how that was done.

DANIEL LUTZ: Yeah, I have a tool for the simplification and create powerful data.

JOCHEN TANGER: Yeah, exactly. And that is key. I just wanted to mention that.

So if I would import a Revit file with all the data, with all the intelligent and big data, it would be, I don't know, a few hundred megabytes, right? And I would just import that into Revit. And that would be far too much. And that's why we simplify the model.

Then you can create that Revit file for me. And that's perfect. So I can just open or link that Revit file. I don't need to import any DWGs or anything else. So that is really a great solution that we have in here. And that help.

DANIEL LUTZ: That's a key point from the Inventor side. It's not necessary to share all screws and all versions and all small holes.

JOCHEN TANGER: Exactly. And now in the end, I mean, did those changes. So I will just save my Revit file. And you can just update the Revit file for me, and you can also have a look at Navisworks and also redo the clash detection. And the clash won't happen any longer, of course.

DANIEL LUTZ: That's right. Now, I get an update in Inventor. The reason is, it's not stupid imported. It's linked. And that's the important point.

JOCHEN TANGER: Exactly.

DANIEL LUTZ: So then, let's go to the next step, to the data exchange. Now, we talk about a better software. That was the reason why we have the Safe Harbor Statement at the beginning. And that's a new technology.

JOCHEN TANGER: Yes, and the technology is called Data Exchange. All this is Data Exchange. And you can see in the second line, so it is to control, share, and access just the data you need in your app.

And that's the important part. So you don't share files anymore. You just share the data that you need. And so, it is for different applications. As you can see on the right already, I will show a little bit more in a second. And like I said, there's no import, no export of models.

And everything happens with the combination of the cloud. So with the Autodesk Construction Cloud, Autodesk Docs, and there are just a few-- not a few. They are just a lot of different connectors that we have already and that are all in beta phase.

And so, let's have a look at all the connections that we have already. So you can see on the left side, those are released already. And you can see, there's definitely Revit '23-'24. Then we have Inventor. But we also have something like external products like Grasshopper, like Tekla, and so on.

So we have those connectors already. They are all in beta phase. But they are released. You can test them right now.

Then we have on the right side, on the upper right, you can see there are some more in progress like SolidWorks, for example, Power BI, IFC support and also under consideration. So those are the connectors that will be looked at the moment or in the future. And there's more and more products that are coming.

So there is a great exchange that we can do with a lot of different products that there are on the market. And as you can see, this is just a start. But let's have a look at it a bit more closely.

DANIEL LUTZ: OK, then let's take a look a little bit in the details. We've seen these screens before. In the current workflows or in the current software or solution, we have the import or the AnyCAD for Revit. But now, we have the Data Exchange for Inventor, in this case Inventor 2023. And let's take a look at how it works.

JOCHEN TANGER: Yes, we are back in Revit. And you have seen this view before. But now, we don't really export or save the Revit file.

We start the Data Exchange. We go into the Construction Cloud project. And we just say exchange or export this view to the Construction Cloud.

And you can see here, in the Construction Cloud, we have a look at that. So this is the workspace again, that we created before. And this has just been exported via the Data Exchange. And now, you use that in Inventor.

DANIEL LUTZ: Yeah, now we are back in Inventor. I'm using also, the Data Exchange and load this data directly from the ACC, from the Construction Cloud and not from my local drive. And with this tool, it's very easy to share the data between the building, the MEP, and production lines.

Now we have here, the same view. And in the next step, I hide, here, the other workspaces. And after that, I create my production line. And using, again, the Data Exchange, now I create a Data Exchange in the same folder in the ACC project and hand over this data to Jochen.

JOCHEN TANGER: Exactly. So I look in the same folder. It is on the Construction Cloud. And I know there has been-- you informed me about that there has been a change. There has been new data. And that's what I need to import. So for example, for my MEP, for my ventilation system, for example, I need to see. And I need to have all those machines and the whole production line.

So first of all, we have a look at it again in the Construction Cloud. There's all those machines with all information, with all the properties. And now just go and load this part. So again, I just have a look at the Construction Cloud. I look at the folder off the Data Exchange. And I just load that part, all those machines, in my Revit model. And now I can go ahead and create the MEP part with it.

So that's really important. And you can just see we hide some things to see that model a bit better. But that's really the start for me, for the MEP engineer, that I can see the whole model and all the data that comes from Inventor in my Revit model very easily.

DANIEL LUTZ: And we share all data in the Autodesk environment via the Autodesk Construction Cloud.

JOCHEN TANGER: Exactly. And without any file that we need to save, right?

DANIEL LUTZ: Yeah, yes. So again, we see, here, we start with the current workflow. We create the factory designed utilities in Inventor, a layout. We create a Revit export. Maybe we manage all data in the world. And using the projects then from Vault to publish the Revit files to the Autodesk Construction Cloud. And with Data Exchange, is it much easier? We create all data and share all data with the Data Exchange technology.

Then, let's go to the next topic. That's MID, Manufacturing Informed Design. In this case, we have another goal. I create, in Inventor, a configuration with iLogic. And I upload this configuration in ACC. And Jochen could using this configuration with Revit. And later, he don't need me for changing the configuration.

And here we see an example, an emergency stair. At the moment, we are in Inventor. And I have, here, iLogic rule or capabilities, to simplify the model, I could changing the steps. And we see here, all dimensions and all configurations, how it's possible, or I want to produce with this step.

And now I upload this data with the MID plug-in in Inventor. We have the name. We have the folder, the main assembly. We define, here, which parameters we are sharing in the configuration. And here, that's Google Blockly. And in this case, we could prepare, a little bit, the names and the form, or the Revit implementation over here.

Drag and drop. It's very easy. And we override the stair_width with "Stair Width." And we see, here, the update in the form.

In the next step, we jump to the output. We select Revit category, special equipment. And we select, here, the kind of bill of materials. And now I upload these details also in the Autodesk Construction Cloud, in a defined folder, to the stair folder and publish this file.

In the end, we get a summary. And now we go to Revit. Back to Jochen.

JOCHEN TANGER: Exactly. So in Revit, we do the same. So we go to the MID add-in, and I select the project we are working in. And here you can see, there's the emergency staircase that I want to select. But now, I can really select-- I can customize it. I can select the width, the height, and so on, and then insert it to my model.

And as you can see, I just place it here. And just with the regular functionalities of Revit, I can align it. And I can place it to the correct space that I want to and see all the stairs like they are. And here you can see.

So the height is kind of fine if you look at the upper door. But you can see, at the lower end, the stairs is kind of clashing with the floor. So need to change it. And so can just go back to that configuration and say, OK, I need a stair with another height.

So I can measure it before. And then just reduce the height of that stairs. And now you can see it moves down a little bit. So I just need to realign that to the upper door. But this is really the advantage, that I don't need to create-- or to inform you again, Daniel, so that you can create it again. It is just a modification of the customization.

DANIEL LUTZ: Right. And now, we see here, the project is saved in ACC. We create, here, a compare mode, or we are here in the compare mode. And we compare the version 1 with the version 2. And we see here, the changing is the stair.

And now we go to the MID side and open here, also, the model. And now the MID side checked all placed MID configuration. We see here the configuration with the nine steps. And I get, now, a bill of material. And that's important for me. I have the bill of material for the production of the stair. And then, I deliver the stair to the building.

See? You open Excel. And we see, here, all data, all information is fully detailed for the stair.

JOCHEN TANGER: And that's exactly the bill of material of the stairs that I created-- or that I customized-- for my project. And with saving my project back to the cloud, this is the information you automatically get out of it, right?

DANIEL LUTZ: Right, yeah. That's a cool, perfect tool. But keep in mind, it's also in the beta status at the moment.

Good. Next topic-- IFC import in Inventor. That's really new and really helpful to import, for example, Tekla files in my projects. And we see here, also, a small video. We see, here, the same model as before. And I place this handrail. It's an IFC file. We have, here, all IFC classes and get this preview. And we unselect the small parts, the screws.

Place the model. And place the model on the correct position with the join functionality from Inventor. And it's also-- calls also any CAD-- in Inventor, any CAD for IFC. And hopefully, it's coming in the release 2025 in April next year, but no guarantee.

JOCHEN TANGER: Course not. And you said it's Tekla. I guess it's also from buildings. I mean, there's different, other AEC products in the market. And they all can save an IFC file. So if you need any other digital factory, for example, and if you get that as another building, as IFC, you can also import that. So the same what we did with Revit before, it can be another software that saves out that IFC file that you can import in here right now.

But in this case, the best way wouldn't be to import IFC from Revit. I mean, we did see much better workflows before, right? So I wouldn't save a IFC file out of Revit to import it into Revit-- into Inventor.

DANIEL LUTZ: The current workflow is, at the moment, I import the IFC in Revit and synchronize the Revit project with IFC in Inventor. And the direct import from IFC in the release 2025, it's much more comfortable.

JOCHEN TANGER: Yeah.

DANIEL LUTZ: So now let's take a look-- or let's do a small comparison of all tools. We start with AnyCAD for Revit in Inventor. And we export a Revit project from Inventor. You could do this with ACC with cloud. It's possible, but not needed.

The Data Exchange is based on ACC. And it's required. And we could share individual data in both directions. The MID is also required on ACC. And we create configurations out of Inventor and consume these configurations in Revit.

In the last point, we see, here, AOC. It's typical to include or share data from Tekla. And it's also ACC possible, but not needed. And then, let's jump to the part of Jochen.

JOCHEN TANGER: OK, thanks, Daniel. Let's jump over to the extended reality, XR. And we were talking a lot about the interoperability of files. And how do we combine that? How do we share information? How do we connect those different solutions?

And the question sometimes is, why do we need it? And I mean, we did see it already, with the MIP, with the connections, for example, with the stairs. And there are a lot of different examples. But there are more examples why we need, really, both industries in just, let's say, one model. And the extended reality is one of those.

And let me introduce a few different ideas of why companies need extended reality, or virtual reality, extended reality. And you can see augmented reality, mixed reality. Extended reality has all included. So that's what we're really talking about. And you see there's different ways of using it internally, at our customers-- so for you-- and also externally.

And you see it's presentation, training, design validation, collaboration. That is a huge part that's internally and also externally. And also, the customer experience-- so for example, an owner of a building and also of a factory, they need to-- do they want to go inside of that factory and have a look at that?

And so especially if you talk about the design validation part and the collaboration part, you can see it here. So the advantages of XR in the coordination process-- so if you have a 3D model compared to a 2D drawing, you find a lot more clashes. You find a lot more problems. Or you can solve those problems before. And so a study shows that 30% more errors could be found and could be avoided with the use of AR and virtual reality than with classic coordination tools.

So this is really a huge amount. And just imagine how much money you can save if you find those errors, those more errors, and they are not on the construction site. And now there's different ways. I mean, this is the main part, I guess. So usually, virtual reality and extended reality, it started like, OK, it's nice. It looks fine. You can walk through a model. But there weren't really the ideas behind. And that's what I wanted to show you in the slide before, where do you really need XR. And let's have a look at some examples.

So here you can see, if you have virtual reality room really, or extended reality center, you can use different ways of using the digital factory of walking through with a camera. So this is really a high-end solution, as you can see here. So they have a 2D sheet. They have a camera. They look at the different factories. So there's a lot of ideas of how you could really walk through that digital factory and how you could use it for a coordination view.

So this is the first part. The second part is mainly a bit more. OK, in this example, we show a little bit more about the textures, the visuals of the factory inside, also animations, and also sound. And let me start playing this for a little while.

[VIDEO PLAYBACK]

[HIGH-PITCHED SCRAPING NOISE]

And if I switch off the sound for a second-- so that's what I wanted to show you. So there is the sound. There is animation. You can see this door opening. You could see-- or can see-- people walking by. There's people on the phone. So it's really like-- a bit more like photorealistic views. And so it really depends where you really need that, where you need to have animations like cars and objects moving around and so on.

So this is one part. But I guess, in most of the cases, this is not really the aim of virtual reality or of extended reality,

[END PLAYBACK]

It's more like the second part that I talked about already. And I let this run. And I mute the sound here first. So you know about-- is it running? Yes. You know about the new product that has been released just yesterday-- or the day before, on Monday. And so it's Workshop XR. This is our new product that we have for extended reality.

And you can see me and my friend Eve talking about the building that you have seen already for a little while. And so we are really looking at that building. And so we are talking about the machines inside. And you can see, a little bit, that I just opened the menu. And you will see that menu in a little while as well, again. Here, you can see it.

So we are inside the Construction Cloud. So in a virtual environment, we look at the Construction Cloud. And we can hide or unhide different elements. You can see, we are standing in front of this table. We are moving around this model.

And the great thing about it is-- so Eve and I, we are not at the same position. We just wear our headsets, our virtual reality glasses, the Meta 2-- Meta Quest 2 glasses, or headsets. And so now we want to look inside the factory. And so we are just saying, OK, let's jump in it.

And Eve is explaining to me about the different colors that we have. And so some things are installed or not installed. Some things are ordered. And those are the different colors that we have.

So first of all, before we jump in, inside, you can see, I just go back and unhide the model. And I can fast-forward a little bit here so that we can have a look inside the model. So now we are jumping inside the model. And here you can see it. So we place it in the model.

And Eve is just following me. I'm following Eve. So you can always adjust that, and who's following you. You can see he's looking at the people that are inside of the model at the moment. And then you can see follow me or gather all. And then I'm standing at the same position.

And inside of Workshop XR, you now have the possibility to see each other, to talk to each other. And you can see a small menu down there that you did see before as well. So the next part that we want to do is-- and I fast-forward a little bit here. So we are looking at this machine here that we have seen before, moving with those different boxes. And we are talking about that it hasn't been connected to the ventilation system. So there has been a filter and so on. There is a filter, and it has been connected-- or it has to be connected.

So we are-- first of all, have a look at the machine. Have a look at the properties. So that's the first part that we are doing. In the back, we are talking a lot. And Eve is explaining everything to me. So this is the proper-- these are the properties that we have from the machine. And so we know it's the right machine at this moment.

And so now, what we want to do is to create an issue, to create a task so that this machine has to be connected to the ventilation system. So also, in virtual reality, I create, now, an issue. So let's go to this point. I create an issue. I say, is it a coordination issue, or what is it? And I place a marker on that machine.

And afterwards, after I have placed that marker, I can talk to it. I can speak to text. And I can switch on the sound for a second.

[VIDEO PLAYBACK]

- And then I will just give it a title.

- Mm-hmm.

- Connect to ventilation system.

JOCHEN TANGER: And what you could see-- so we are, again, inside the Construction Cloud. I'm just creating an issue. And that issue-- so this connection task that we have will be sent-- or will be in the Construction Cloud. And it can also be sent to the MEP engineer. And that MEP engineer, in Revit, for example, he can also see that issue, that task for him in Revit, and has exactly the same position.

So he sees, exactly, that marker that I've just created. And he can create that connection to the ventilation system afterwards. So that's what it's really about. So it's really a great, great, great coordination that you can use. You don't need to travel. You're at the same position inside of the model.

And there are so many different ways of coordinating and talking to different people, talking to the different industries. So usually, they're not in the same company. And it's much easier to look around, to talk to your coworker, to talk to your partner, and look at the model. And like I said, you will find 30% more errors in the end.

And here, we are back. So we went out to the table again. We are talking about the model. And here you can see, there are the issues that we have just created. Those are in the Construction Cloud.

And I guess this is a great idea of how you can really coordinate and how you can really bring the AEC and D&M industry together-- so the different parties that created the building, and also that created the machines, and all the layout. And there has to be a great coordination. And this can be really done with extended reality and with Workshop XR.

DANIEL LUTZ: And a lot of customers ask us how we should do-- why we should do this all in 3D and not in 2D. But we see, here, the big advantage and the benefit of 3D data.

JOCHEN TANGER: Exactly. And it's just such a great experience to meet each other. So it is really like you meet that person in person, personally, live. So you look into your eyes. And if you haven't done that, it is just amazing to be in VR, or in XR, to talk to each other, to walk inside of the building, and to coordinate such things. I guess, also, we definitely see this as the future of coordination. I mean, it's not the future.

[END PLAYBACK]

The product is available already.

OK, last topic of our agenda-- the last topic of our agenda-- Tandem. So we are talking about-- and our customers are talking about-- digital twins for a long time. And there is a need of a digital twin. A digital twin means that you really have the physical building also, and a digital building. So it is really the twin of both buildings. And why is that?

So if you have created a building and a whole factory-- like, we have seen this before. If you have created that parametrically, and with a lot of effort, and in weeks and months-- so it is important that you have those data afterwards as well so that you can use it in the operational phase, of course. And you can see, there is a lot of inefficiency in the operations in the moment, and also a lot of energy wasted at the moment. And this is why a lot of owners say they want to invest more in digital twins.

And also, they want to add a lot more sensors. They want to invest in sensors to measure the real building and to see that in the digital twin. And that's why we created, and we developed, the product Autodesk Tandem. So with Tandem, we can harness, or we can use, the BIM data that has been defined, the BIM data and the digital factory data, in our digital twin, add connectors, connections to it-- so, like sensors, for example-- and use that for insightful operations.

So you can see here, to inform everyday decisions with insight of your digital twin to definitely improve efficiency and also reduce cost. And with the digital twin of the digital factory, you can see, this is how we could use it. So we have the building that you could see before. Right now, we can import Revit files and IFC files. You will see a bit more afterwards. And then we can have a look at the whole building. We can filter it down-- so like a post-commissioning solution to monitor the whole factory.

So let's have a look at this as well. So I have a look at-- or we have a look at Tandem now. So as you can see, I just went into the model again. And there's the same navigation, then, in the Construction Cloud. So this is really like everything. So there were different users in here. And you can see different files as well.

In this case, it's just Revit files that we have used, but a lot of different Revit files. But you can see, we have IFC, Revit. And in beta mode is now DWG-- so our AutoCAD files and Navisworks files as well. And the great thing about it is these are desktop files. But definitely, we have, also, the Construction Cloud, so Autodesk Docs. And those files are being connected to Docs.

So if we look at the history now, for example, I have updated in June. I know that I have updated one of those Revit files. So just look at the history of that. And you can see here, OK, there is that file. And there's 18 in level 0. There's 18 different changes. What are the changes?

And you can see, ah, these are the columns that we have changed. And now I have a look at one of those columns. And go to the properties-- so one of those columns. And you can see there are design properties. Those are the properties that are coming out of the system, out of Revit. And there is three months ago, 11 months ago.

So 11 months ago, we inserted the columns. And three months ago, we changed, for example, the level of those columns. So we did some changes. So you can exactly really see all those changes that we have, that you have made, in the files that have been updated in the Construction Cloud.

So the next part is I want to have a look at the filters. So first of all, I filter out the Revit file of the architecture. And you can see the machines here again. So we were talking about that a lot of the times. And in the operational field, you just don't need any software like Revit or Inventor. Everything is here, included, with all the different properties that we were talking about before.

And we also see there's one property S, and called the installation status. And you can see, OK, this one is installed already. This is not a property that is coming out of the system, out of Revit. This is a property that we have created either here in Tandem or, maybe, also in Navisworks, for example. And now we have a-- in this case, it's coming out of Navisworks.

And now we have a look at all the different machines. What is installed? What is ordered? What is specified already? And you can see, we can have a color filling here to really differ between the different installation stages.

And so we also have the inventory list. And with that inventory list, we can really see all the different machines that we have with the different installation status in here. And if we go to that machine-- for example, you can type in here. You can change that-- change the properties, like the barcode, in this case, or the installation status. If it was ordered before, you can change it to installed now. So this is really what we can do if we have those properties in here.

And now we want to group it a little bit different. So you can also see, ah, there's a possibility to group it by the installation status, for example. Then you can filter it down to only what is delivered, what is-- or maybe what's not ordered, what's just specified. And then you can specify it. You can order it afterwards.

You can also group it in another way-- so to the different rooms or to the different areas of the production-- so that you can see which elements, which machines, in this case, have been ordered in that construction phase, or in that workspace already. So you can see there's so many different ways of filtering the model that you can use in the operational field afterwards.

And so all those views, you can save as a standard view. And in this case, you can see, we have saved in the ventilation system-- so the system-- all the different systems, like electrical system and ventilation system. And you can see the connections of that, how they are connected, where are some valves, where is it connected to, for example. So if there is a leak that you definitely know where this pipe runs to, and there's different-- or dedicated views that show exactly this.

Last but not least, this is a very important part. We have sensors included. And you can see the color filling of those sensors already. And if we look at the sensors here, you can see, if I click on one of those sensors-- so it's the energy consumption of that machine. It's the machine temperature. And it's also the room temperature that we have in Celsius, in this case.

And we can change that. For example, the machine temperature does show up now in that area. It's connected to the rooms, so it's not really the machines. But it's connected to the rooms. But there's definitely a great way of visualizing those elements here in the digital twin.

And last but not least, we can have a look at the history of that data. So it's not just a one-time value that we get. So it's really the whole history of that sensors that we have included in here. And you can create dashboards out of it to really have a look, where is the problem coming up?

Where do we need-- for example, for the operational part, where is the machine that might be repaired? Where's a room that might be too-- that is too warm at the moment? You can get warnings out of that to really change that. So it's all the information of the building and the machines that we have inside the digital twin and inside of Tandem.

OK, and with that, we just have the very last part of the outlook. So where does it go to? So we have shown a lot of different ways of how we connect the AC end D&M industry. So in this part, we will just have a look at where might it go to. And with that, I hand over back to you, Daniel.

DANIEL LUTZ: Yeah, OK. Thank you for your presentation and for your part. And we see a lot of benefits of 3D data. And now, we have, here, a overview over our platform services. Last year, we talked a lot about the platforms. And this year, we see the first software and the first tools based on our platform technology.

And with that, I think we go to the end of the session. And thank you for joining this session. And hopefully, we could get a big benefit in the new technology from the Autodesk software and for the future of the Autodesk tools.

JOCHEN TANGER: Thanks a lot. Have a great day.
