Speakers
- Leandro Li CausiTechnical Solutions Executive working in a great multinational environment, empowering our customers to find out the best solutions for their business when approaching digital environments and processes. I'm passionate about BIM and cloud and I'm keen on engaging with different people at various levels while keeping a collaborative attitude. I strongly believe that Collaboration is key to success in this digital era.
LEANDRO LI CAUSI: Hello, and welcome, everyone, to this session. Today, we are talking about how to define, discuss, and analyze assets into a digital environment.
KUNAL DUBEY: Thanks, Leandro. So just before we actually start with, I just wanted to give you a bit of heads up on this. Bear in mind that in this session, we might make some statements that are forward-looking. However, do not make any buying decisions based on these statements, as this things may change from day to day. Over to Leandro for introduction.
LEANDRO LI CAUSI: Thanks, Kunal. I will introduce myself. I'm Leandro Li Causi. I'm a technical sales specialist for the EMEA regions. I am based in Barcelona, however, I'm from Italy. In my day to day role, I try to help customers, companies, in figuring out the best technologies for their business when approaching digital environments like BIM and cloud. And now, Kunal, the floor is yours.
KUNAL DUBEY: Thanks, Leandro. So I myself, Kunal Dubey, I am the technical solutions executive from the APAC region. I'm originally from India. But I am actually based out in Singapore, and joining you from there to give you an idea about how are we going to manage the assets during the preconstruction phase today. Over to Ives.
IVES VEELAERT: Thanks, Kunal. So yes, I'm a technical solution executive as well covering the EMEA region. I'm originally from and I'm based out of Belgium. I mainly focus on VDC, so virtual design and construction, data management, and collaborative workflows. That's me.
OK. So today we are going to define what we see as an asset. Then we are going to talk about the best possible outcomes regarding managing these assets. And then finally we are going to look back at the value of this connected story.
LEANDRO LI CAUSI: Thanks, Ives, for this quick agenda. And now let's introduce the asset story. So we would like to start with this picture, order and chaos. Order and chaos are two really common topics nowadays, especially when dealing with different type of information coming from everywhere. So in line with this, we asked us a question, how we can create order, like workflows, from chaos, like data, when approaching digital environments like the cloud? Let's see it.
So today we would like to tell you a story about assets in our office space, our office space in Barcelona, the Autodesk office space. Thus, together with my colleagues Kunal and Ives, we talk about the importance of assets in a real scenario and through the various stages of the projects, from the design to coordination and operation. So here we ask other questions. How we can define a digital environment where assets can be managed quickly and efficiently? And let's call this space the asset bus.
Overall, it's all about visual digital asset management. Managing assets will help us understanding what we have at present, live in this new normal, while using data that allow us to imagine a new space and design better buildings and infrastructures.
So here are some examples of real assets that we can manage virtually. So let's define and see how we can manage these digital assets, when working through the project lifecycle. Through the help of the cloud platforms, we could leverage digital assets in order to optimize the design stage, predict better outcomes, and operate better our buildings and infrastructure. Digital assets represent a visual representation of elements that can help enable us to connect, manage, and review their physical counterparts.
So now, let's move into the cloud. And let's see how we can manage these assets into the cloud. So these basically would be the process of managing digital assets during the various stages. We will start with the design and coordination phase, considering Revit and BIM Collaborate as the main tools. Then we will move into the preconstruction and field within Autodesk Takeoff and Autodesk Build. And we will finish our session in the operational stage through the help of Autodesk Tandem as a platform.
Now, let's see the design and coordination stage. During the design coordination, we will review assets within Revit and AVC. Moreover, we will see how these assets defining the process can start, and be optimized using other solutions. So the first stage of this process will be families automation. Let's see how this process will work.
So what if you only have 2D [INAUDIBLE] information? What will be the challenge? With a digital twin in mind, we need to be sure that we can get into a 3D data model of our assets. So if this would be manual, the process would be tedious and time consuming. So why not leverage the power of AutoCAD and Revit together? So what you see in this video is an automatic conversion of block information in AutoCAD to Revit families, using a Dynamo script.
We simply map the block names to family types, and load them into the exact same location as defined in the AutoCAD file. Whatever file you have, 2D or 3D, the outcome would be the same. The start of a 3D digital handover right at the beginning of the design stage. But we are not out of the woods yet. Do these families have the correct data attached? Let's inspect these.
So as the process continues, the family will take on information that will transform them into digital twin assets. So as the design progresses, we need to be able to verify that the correct data is attached to the right objects. The tool you can see here illustrates the power and openness of our platform. As we uploaded our files into the cloud based storage, we are now using the free available tool that can report any parameters of any object. Overall, the assembly code is going to define the type of assets, and we want to make sure that all our digital elements have the appropriate value attached.
Now let's move into the hypermodel, design exchange, and validation process. Usually, the bigger the project, the bigger is the team working on it, and the more complex the interaction between the different stakeholders. The system will provide a lot of help to streamline this communication by simplifying the integration of model and the assets it contains. In this example, you see how a user on his own can consult both 2D and 3D information at the same time. We call it hypermodel.
So now let's talk about exchanging information between the different design teams. For instance, let's have a look at the data exchanged between the architect and the interior design. Who is responsible, for example, for the furniture assets? Again, in a complex project this will come from different sources. And it might be difficult to understand exactly what is being delivered by other teams.
Thanks to this BIM Collaborate, we can get an understanding and in context view of this simply by color coding based on the team sending this data out. Here is another component that we can use. It's called the Autodesk Validation tool. Through simple checks on the design phase, we can run an analysis on, for instance, the quality of the exchanged information. And we can ask some questions like, have all these spaces been allocated. Do we have duplicate elements? Are there any views not on sheets? What size are these families? This tool is essentially the cloud based version of the Revit model checker.
Why is this relevant? Because we are now through [INAUDIBLE] exposing these capabilities to BIM managers without the need for them to have and use the authoring tool to validate this data. Also, we can trigger this check every time the design gets updated. And by exposing these reports to Power BI, we can use this in the ACC Insight module.
Moving on into another aspect of collaboration, we understood now that the data received by other teams and, of course, problems may occur. By using the ACC single of truth, we can easily embed these issues right into the model, so for every involved stakeholders to review. Let's take a look at the issues here, where, for example, the door needs to be placed.
As you can see, we can track the design across the lifecycle, understanding why this issue has been raised, and how it has been solved by comparing the before and after. We can now close the issue easily, and we can move on. As with everything into the ACC platform, we can track issues along the length of the project lifecycle and report on them, and we'll have a look at this later.
Now, the last part of the process, and let's review the asset transfer from Revit to Build. So as you have seen from the workflows in the previous videos, the system allows for total and transparent communication throughout the design phase of the project. Providing access to the right information to all involved stakeholders at any given time will help also us in getting into the best design possible.
So moving to the next stage, design now has ended, and we are preparing for construction. With the end in mind, which is the digital twin and asset management, we now want to push these assets as separate objects into the Autodesk Build platform, which means we are setting them up for installation one of the aspects of the construction stage. Let's dig briefly into why we want to extract assets from design files, which is what at the end of the day you see in this video.
We want to separate the construction information from the design. For instance, just a simple thing as the installation table is not something we want to put into the design file. Imagine us going back to the interior design each and every time a furniture component gets installed. This is not only tedious, but also inefficient. Instead, what we want to do is to store the actual asset information into a properly management of objects.
So the workflow described in this video goes through a couple of steps to generate the asset database. Out of the design phase, and first we will use Dynamo. So we extract, analyze and build compatible spreadsheet, which then we import as assets. As each asset gets a unique URL, what we can now do is extract this URL, and attach it to our objects.
This will give that link from the design element to the equivalent assets held within the Autodesk Build database. This essentially means that we are not separating the design component from the asset information. We are linking them. And naturally, the last part of this video shows what we can do also with a similar file in Navisworks. Which takes me to the next level, as it opens up this workflow to many other types of files.
KUNAL DUBEY: Thank you, Leandro for giving us an introduction on how are we going to manage the assets during the design phase of the project. Now, what we're going to look into is that as we have set up the stage for the next piece. That is managing the assets during the Precon and Field. So with Autodesk Construction Cloud, which is the critical part of the workflows, it is very much leveraging the single source of truth to get the bill of quantities.
So essentially what happens is that we are going to repurpose the design information that's held within the system. To do so, we are going to I would say take a step-up process where we define a classification system and identify the elements based on the calculation itself. As we jump into Autodesk Takeoff, what we're going to do over here, as I mentioned, is one of the critical part of the preconstruction piece.
So we have all the items in which we would be having our 2D files in the system. As you can see, the sheets are there. We can visualize the drawings over here. We can select which are the drawings which we have to basically go through the packages. And then with the packages, we can define the packages going to the architecture or furniture. And then we can just go ahead and start working on our symbol detections.
The 2D part of the system actually allows you to connect it or automatically select the symbols or select the furnitures which you're going to do or Takeoff from. And then looking into the classification system, which we actually added up before, we are going to talk deep about how are the extracting this information out from the drawing itself.
So as you can see, that the symbol detection automatically detects all those seats and chairs. And it will basically give you the list of items which are basically part of that particular drawing. With that, we can also now do a 3D takeoff. So as we go into the 3D takeoff, as you can see that whichever elements of the furniture, in this case is chairs, we want to look into it. We can go ahead and then start have those outputs come out from the system, based on the classification system which we added up.
So when we have done all of this process, now what we talk about is the bill of quantities, how are we extracting out this information from the system, and then attaching it with our cost items as well. So as we have all this information with us, we're going to export this. We are going to export this out from our platform over here. We can also look into all these parameters which have been defined by it. Looking into where that particular item has been manufactured, what's the warranty, and everything which is already there in the project, or in the module itself in the system.
The next step would be to export this out in Excel, and look into the quantities, the details which later you would be adding up with the unit cost, and then bringing it back in the system and doing the [INAUDIBLE]. So since we have set up all this information in our project, the next piece, which would be basically talking about is [INAUDIBLE]. How are we bringing all this information, or how are we bringing this to our field, where most of the thing is basically going to be done?
So as we jump into the project itself, as you can see from the mobile application, we are looking into assets. As we jump into assets, we're going to scan that barcode which is going to bring us to that particular location itself, where the asset is located. We go through all those details in that particular asset. We set up the stages of order, just so the asset has been ordered. I go through all the details of it, looking into where that particular asset is located in the building, the latitude and longitude with the photos.
I look into a specific file which is basically attached to it, which gives you an idea about how does an asset basically look like. Moving on from there, we also go through some of the details of the specification, how does that asset is going to look like, when it's going to be ordered, and then also looking from a perspective of where that asset is located.
As we go ahead from there, we can also look into a scheduled activity which is attached to that particular asset. And we can also, from the same platform, we can also jump into our 2D drawing. We can link that asset to a specific location of that 2D drawing. As we can see over here, that's located to that particular asset from a 2D drawing itself with all the references attached to it. I can simply jump back my drawing, come out from the drawing, and then also look into where that particular asset is actually located in that point of view.
One of the best pieces in the function is bringing in the solution with the photos [INAUDIBLE]. You will spend all the other capabilities in the blinded Build app itself. It basically allows you to track your projects, track your information which is on the palm of your hands. At the end, we will sync this particular information back to our system. And then from there, we will be jumping into our forecasting, how are we actually doing our cost forecasting in the system.
So when we have actually added up all the information from the site. What we're going to do now, we're going to jump into our cost management piece. In Cost Management, as you can see that, we have all our tender packages, all the budgets in a pie chart. We can look into it. We can also talk about from a perspective of how much of them are already forecasted, or what are the budgets which we're going to focus on, on this particular project at this point in time.
As we move ahead from there, we have all the budgets defined in the system. As you can see, that we have the supplier details, references attached to it, for what are the air terminals which are basically attached to those budget. Then from there, we look into what budget we generally have from the owner, what sort of cost which we're going to talk about in the downstream of the project, how are we managing this with the suppliers, what's the forecast, and what is the variance in terms of there is a change in the cost.
So we have more details in which we can talk about, but for this particular session, we are going to talk about the forecasting. So as you can see that we have our schedule which was there also in our build piece, is now attached to our budget as well. So from there, we can now connect those specific line items, which are in the project planning to our budgets in our system over here in Cost Management.
So as we go ahead with that, we can now track all those specific tasks or specific budgets on the basis of the forecasting as well. So as you can see over here on the dropdown, we have those links attached to it, the references attached to it. We are also going to look into how are we managing these specific line items or budgets, via forecasting distribution.
So as you can see that we have all these distributions, which basically means that what is the revised budget, what's the work completed, what's the actual cost, and what's going to be the forecast final. So how does this basically looks like from an overall project perspective? This is how it looks like from a project summary point of view.
As we go ahead, you can talk about, we can see at this particular time of the project, how it's going to look like. We can also drill down to those specific project costs, like forecast final cost as well, which are the ones which are already there, and then you can flip it up as per period or cumulative, or you can also look into them from a percentage perspective as well.
So moving on from there, now we would be looking into how are we doing all of this from a reporting point of view. So when you talked about the assets, bringing in all this information into one piece is quite important. So how we can create this reporting on the system? So for example, if you're just doing reporting for just a few of the items, or we're doing it for all the assets which are currently present in our project?
So as we go ahead from there, as we talked about air terminals earlier in detail, what we're going to do is that we're going to take one example over here, AT5, and then we'll show you how it basically looks like in detail, as well as how we can have that report extracted out from the system.
So whatever we saw in the 3D model, we are actually looking into all from a perspective of the web browser as well. So what we had in mobile application, we also have that in our web browser at the same time. So as we do this, now what we would be doing is that we would be exporting out reports from a system. As you can see that, we have the origin written, to reports over here, one by me, one by Ives. And we're going to take a look into it one by one.
So what you can actually do, is that you can share this report out of the system either with the people who are inside the system, and also who are outside the system as well. How cool is that? So as we do that, we can share this report right away with those specific team members who are in the project and outside the project. So let's just take a look into how does an asset detail actually looks like.
So as we can talk about here, you have all the list of assets in that particular report. And then with that report, if I jump into one of the detailed report for AT5, we can actually look into all those details, what will look from a perspective of the web browser as well. So this is how the report actually looks like when you're working with the system. Each of them are hyperlinked. So whenever you click on that, it would basically bring you to the system right away to visualize how does that particular asset is looking [INAUDIBLE].
I'm quickly going to jump into the asset pack, to give you an overview. This is what the asset would basically look like from an overall perspective in the [INAUDIBLE] system. Since now we have actually talked about everything in the system, but how does this looks like from a dashboard perspective. Because we know that most of the times when we are tracking some of the pieces in the system, we have to track all of this from here.
So we do have the functionality which is called Insight, which helps you to track those information from all sorts of projects. The first thing which we basically do is that we need to extract out the information from the project. So as we jump into our data connector, that's basically extracting out the data or running the extraction on a daily basis. We can schedule it out how you want to extract the data out of the system.
As we go ahead with it, we then have some templates which are predefined for the team members to right away download and utilize it from here. You would probably be using the assets in this particular session to showcase you how does that looks like. So as we have downloaded that particular data connector, and then I jump into my asset dashboard over here, where we're actually tracking those assets in the system, whether it is installed, whether it is ordered, whether it's specified. We can track all of those from here. And so far, we have done it on the mobile application, and also from our web browser as well.
So as we go into it, we can track all these assets from the-- this is basically a live task where it basically help you connect it with all those [INAUDIBLE], all the information you're just getting at this one site.
We have an executive overview, which is quite comprehensive for the team or for the manager level team, who are looking into the project from a overall perspective. You can track your company-wide safety metrics, which basically gives you an idea of what's basically happening in the project. You can jump into the details of it. You can look into what's basically happening in the project in that particular project lifecycle.
We can also track our project financials as well, which we talked about in the cost management piece, that's how we can have these workflows defined, or dashboards defined from that particular level as well. From an overall level, how does this basically gives you an idea about how are you managing the assets throughout the project lifecycle.
So moving on from there, what we would basically do is now how are we handing over this particular data to the team. Who is going to look into all of these specific items related to assets, related to the details of the assets, the specifications and the drawings?
Even looking into those specific models as well, how are we extracting this out, and handing it over to the team who is going to manage these facilities later in the project? So recently this has been introduced in Autodesk Build, which actually helps you to bridge your projects from one location or from one end environment to another environment.
So as you can see that from our project assets project, what is basically outgoing, what is basically incoming, what we have actually automated, what sort of information we want to automate from one project to another project would be actually looked into from here. So you can see that which are the projects which have actually bridged together.
So we can add the new projects as well, which you want to bridge. This basically helps you to connect the data from your contractor site, your subcontractors site, even from the owners of as well. So when we jump into the project in which we are basically beginning all this data, as you can see that since it is bridged now, I have all my data sent up into this particular new project as well. So as I jump into my details of the folders, I can right away jump into what's basically incoming form my previous one, where you can see I have all these listed items which are coming in.
These are my five folders which are syncing in right away from the system automatically. So whenever there is an update in the first project, it will automatically bring that up in my project which is also getting synced in my local hub as well.
So over here, as you can see that I'm just giving you an example of how does that looks like from a drill down perspective. If I'm working in project files over here, then how does that basically syncs it up over there in my bridged project as well. So over here, that's the piece where it would be actually connecting to our project. How are we showing the data of one single location, and then bringing it back to our target. [INAUDIBLE] is going to be in either of the hubs which you are currently working with.
So with the WIP, as you can see that, I can drill down to those specific folders, and then update that data back in the system over there. So with the new project, you would actually be able to look into that specific file, or drawings, or even models as well, which you're currently working with in that particular folder. So you can have those specific data, like file activities as well, which will give you an idea when that particular file was uploaded in this particular folder.
So since we have done all of this, since all the projects have been updated, it's easy for us to hand this data over to the maintenance and the facility management team who is going to basically take over the project from here to the operations phase of the project [INAUDIBLE].
IVES VEELAERT: So thanks for handing over, Kunal. We are now moving into the stage of maintenance. And to do so, we'll give an overview of Autodesk's Tandem capabilities. But let's first dive into why Autodesk developed this tool.
So again, with the end goal in mind, we really need to be thinking about what users would like to have from a maintenance point of view. Usually, in a traditional workflow, users end up with loads of analog, unclassified, and disconnected data, paperwork if you will, that will make it difficult to monitor and maintain assets. So what the customer really wants is to indeed have all of this info, but tied to a digital building, a digital twin if you will, a replica of the physical world.
And this is truly what Tandem delivers, a single pane of glass that can help us by immediately leveraging the data after handover, and that gives us better understanding in the asset's relationship to its data, and the space and service it belongs to. When exposing Tandem to operational workflows, this will also empower the owner in returning greater insights when it comes to future decisions.
So let's now go step by step through some of Tandem's functionality. First of all, as a construction project is finished, we are now going to create a facility for maintenance in Tandem. We're then going to incorporate the models so wonderfully designed and constructed by Leandro and Kunal.
We're going to apply a facility template, which essentially means that we're going to apply certain properties to certain aspects, if you will, digital twin parameters that are based on a classification. And this can be any type of parameter, or any combination of parameters to any type of element, thus giving us the possibility to maintain different types of assets within our digital twin.
So now that everything is set up, let's have a look at our models. So in here, we're now looking effectively into Tandem. And what you're going to see to the left is filters, if you will. And the first one that you can see is the different files that were generated and that were handed over to us-- so the building, the structural elements, the furniture, and the DMEP HVAC system, for instance.
And we can take that information and just highlight, color code, et cetera. We can also move into the building itself, as you can see here. So all of that rich information from the large model viewer is available to us. Now what Tandem is very capable of doing is actually assigning those assets to the different spaces and the different rooms that we have available. This is all done automatically by Tandem.
And as you can see, we can now walk into this space, for instance this kitchen, and have an understanding of the different types of elements by assembly code that we have inside of that kitchen. So let's just for a second activate everything again. So we're activating the whole model again, the three models that we have. And we're now going to color code, again, according to this assembly code, but through the whole building, through all spaces. And we can just more and more understand of what is happening with our assets and get an in context understanding of those different elements.
Now, the beauty of what we can do also is in these filters, as you can see we've got the sources that the file is essentially-- the floors, the spaces, et cetera. We can actually sort or cluster if you will all of our elements based on any properties, such as for instance the space that they belong to. So as you can see here, we have a split up of all of our assets still color coded according to said assembly code, but we're now filtering this by room and by space.
Now, this gives us the flexibility to cluster by any type of parameter. So even the color coding on the assembly code, we can also cluster by assembly code. And that's effectively what you just saw here.
So next step, what we can do also is as you can see here, we've just highlighted one of the files. And we can actually generate to the information. And this is going to be critical when it comes to actual maintenance and looking at those plans. So we can just basically, off the grid, off the database that we have here, we can generate and still the whole system. That 2D plan will follow according to the selection that we did.
We want to have one room? Fine, we're going to have a 2D view of just that room, for instance. You want to have specifically the HVAC system? Fine. We're going to be showing the HVAC system, et cetera, et cetera.
Again, moving on, as I said, we're looking into asset management. So therefore what we want to do is we want to modify our filters. We want to modify what we're looking for. And in this case, we're looking at an installation parameter, well, effectively the installed by parameter. Now the things as you can see, we got the information from the ACC project. That's what you saw at the beginning. We can literally import these files into our facility here.
But as you can see, the data didn't come with it. You've seen from Kunal, that he installed a couple of assets. And actually you'll see Leandro did some. I did some, just to fill it up a little bit, and beef it up between the three of us. But essentially what we can now do is take this to the next level, and not just take the 3D information in, but we can also hook up the data that comes from the construction information.
So essentially what you see here is a trigger inside of Excel action. We're going to hook up Excel to Tandem. We're going to load our facility. We're going to load a specific view. So as you might have seen, we've created this view with all the asset information. And essentially, what we're doing is we're loading this information in here from Tandem. So that means that the applied parameters, the one you see in green here, are still empty, of course. We didn't really fill them out. We're exporting from Tandem.
And so what we're going to be doing here is we're going to go back into ACC, if you will. And we're going to report on those assets. And the beauty is that as you see from that asset spreadsheet inside of Excel, we could of course hook that up to Power BI, which as you've seen here, is still empty. We're going to look at that in a second. But essentially, what we're going to do is we're going to take that asset information right from Kunal, right from handover, right from the ACC project if you will, and basically just line by line, copy-paste according to an order in the assets, for instance. They're going to follow the same logic. So this is going to be along to the two spreadsheets.
So essentially what we do is we paste the information from the asset database, from Kunal's ACC project and the one he handed over to us, we're going to put that into our Tandem spreadsheet here. Now, the beauty is, as you can see, we can update our information. We can do that live or we can actually force it at some point in time, which is what we're doing here. So all of that information that came from Kunal, that came from construction, is now uploaded into Tandem.
And so as you can see, out of the blue, suddenly installed by has indeed been filled in by myself, Kunal and Leandro, for instance. And still all of those filters, they still apply. I can filter for a specific assembly code, for instance, a service. We can look at a specific element, look at the properties of this. Or we can just activate everything again, and have a look at specifically what's been installed by the three of us.
And of course, maybe we want to look at this not from a visible point of view, but we want to maybe interact with the data. And that's effectively what you're seeing in inventory. The inventory view allows us to see all of these elements, all of the information. We can actually select to follow that selection, which essentially means we select something in the inventory that's going to follow through on the element, again, with all the properties, et cetera, et cetera.
And of course, because we now have that information inside of Tandem, all we need to do in that Power BI report you saw earlier on is just essentially refresh the information. It's going to update that spreadsheet in the background, and we can now slice and dice the information as we see fit. We want to look at install date, totally possible. We want to filter by certain type of element, totally possible. These elements, these categories, these assembly codes come from Tandem, as we've filled out the information. And so that's effectively what you see in the Power BI report.
OK, so moving on, lastly if you will, what we can do as well is look at the information from a historic point of view. So what you're going to see here is that those elements that we have, that air terminal, it has for instance type parameters. It has element parameters. And also what we have just seen is that those elements, they can also be tied to a facility status report, which is that Power BI report that we just saw. But again, most importantly, when it comes to a facility, it means that we want to follow through on the lifecycle of these assets, how they've been installed, how they move forward, et cetera, et cetera.
And that's effectively what you see here. We can filter by elements, by type of element, all elements, by selection, and even through the dates in which we've been looking at this information.
So with that, that's our maintenance, ongoing of course. Maintenance is the last aspect of a building project and design, of course. But what we're going to do now is hand over to Kunal. So Kunal, over to you to recap what's been said in this session.
KUNAL DUBEY: Thanks, Ives. So if you move on to the next slide, as you can see that, what did we actually learn from the whole session today? The first thing what we learned about was how are we actually communicating, or how are we having those improved connection or collaboration between the 2D and the 3D data which is getting flow throughout the project lifecycle, or I would say during the design phase of the project.
So as we have all those data with us, we have now the capacity to make more defined results or I would say defined decisions, which happens during the planning and during the reconstructions as well as the construction phase of the project. What does that helps into? It helps into control our cost. It helps into control our schedule. The projects are not delayed. And then at last, of course, when we have all these components together, we are handing it over more easily to the team who is going to look into the maintenance side of things.
So as we go ahead from there, since the workflows which was defined by Ives, the workflows which was designed by Leandro, and the piece which I also talked about in terms of managing those data during the construction phase of the project, basically leads us to a term that is called digital twin. So when we have this data stitched up right from the design phase of the project, transforming it to the construction phase, and then handing it over to the maintenance team-- this gives the owners or the developers that readiness of the facility, and then managing it throughout the project lifecycle and beyond that.
Over to Ives.
IVES VEELAERT: All right. Thanks, Kunal. And that's the end of the story. So over to the live Q&A, and thank you very much for attending this session. Thanks, everyone.
