Due to the use of engineering and manufacturing techniques, industrial technology is becoming more and more popular in multiple industries. This combination helps to make production faster, simpler and more efficient. Industrial technology is widely used in manufacturing, construction, aviation and many more important industries.

The following is an interview with Paul Wallett, Regional Art Director of Trimble Solutions Middle East and India. He elaborated on the various products and core technology methods Timber Solutions is preparing to provide for customers who need industrial technology and innovative transformation.

Trimble is a global technology leader listed on NASDAQ and is changing the way the world operates. Industrial technology solutions connect the physical world and the digital world to help customers around the world operate better, faster, safer and more environmentally friendly.

Trimble develops core technologies in positioning, modeling, connectivity and data analysis, enabling customers to improve productivity, quality, safety and sustainability. For example, in the construction industry, the company is developing technology, software and services to promote the digital transformation of buildings through solutions that cover the entire construction, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry.

Trimble's innovative approach empowers teams throughout the construction life cycle and improves coordination and collaboration among stakeholders, teams, phases, and processes. The interconnection construction strategy enables users to control their operations through first-class solutions and a common data environment. By automating work and transforming workflows, it enables construction professionals to increase productivity, quality, transparency, safety, sustainability, and deliver each project with confidence.

Trimble Solutions is a pioneer in bringing augmented reality or mixed reality (AR/MR) to construction sites. In 2018, it partnered with Microsoft to launch the world's first helmet solution that supports mixed reality for construction professionals.

The team is very proud of working with Microsoft again to take the lead in developing industry clouds for the construction, agriculture, and transportation industries. As part of this collaboration, Trimble and Microsoft will initially focus on building Trimble Construction Cloud powered by Microsoft Azure.

The two companies will further cooperate to create industry cloud platforms and solutions that connect people, technology, tasks, data, processes, and industry life cycles. It is expected that in 2022, Trimble Construction Cloud will fully support 3D constructable models, thereby reducing risk, increasing speed, and increasing efficiency and accuracy throughout the entire construction project life cycle (including design, construction, and operation).

Currently, products in extended reality include VR, AR, and MR, which enable digital (virtual) and physical content to coexist harmoniously. For example, the Hard Hat designed by Trimble for Microsoft HoloLens, called XR 10, is a wearable, self-sufficient holographic computer that strongly demonstrates the advantages of using MR in real life. It has a transparent holographic display and advanced sensors that can map the physical environment.

The company also offers Trimble SiteVision, a simple outdoor augmented reality system that uses handheld devices to visualize complex buildings, roads, railways, and site designs with extremely high accuracy. From large blocks of earthwork to the finished final graded surface, Site Vision allows construction professionals to communicate and solve problems in real time.

Trimble provides the most comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions, all of which are designed to achieve a new way of working, that is, "interconnected construction." Trimble's Connected Construction makes it easier for all stakeholders of a construction project to accelerate project processes and team productivity, and deliver projects with more control and predictability. This new way of working on construction projects involves connecting every phase of the building's life cycle.

Bringing connected buildings to life is an industry-leading combination of hardware, software, and services, including point solutions designed to meet the specific needs of architects or on-site project managers; to cloud-based collaborative solutions, these solutions have different benefits Connecting stakeholders allows them to confidently use an informative and accurate 3D model, which can also be used as a "single source of truth" (SSOT).

Tekla Structures is the mainstay and flagship product of Trimble's construction industry and the most advanced BIM software on the market. It can accurately and constructively model any structure, regardless of its size or material.

Tekla Model Sharing is a structural modeling collaboration platform that allows people to work remotely. Teams can work on their local copies offline and share changes when they can access the Internet.

For steel manufacturing management, Tekla PowerFabis is the most powerful solution in the industry, now with visual dashboard reports, enhanced options for filtering and organizing data, and continuous improvement of automated machine instructions on workshop cloning tools.

All of these products are supported by Trimble Connect, a dominant cloud-based collaboration platform that enables teams involved in architectural design, construction, and operation to gather together under an umbrella. It creates interdisciplinary and intra-disciplinary collaborative communities that not only integrate data from its own various applications and devices, but also integrate data from non-Trimble applications and devices.

In terms of hardware, the product portfolio includes cutting-edge products, such as safety helmets that support Trimble XR10MR, laser or sound wave-based machine control systems, and site positioning and measurement systems. For example, on-site location systems can help contractors perform tasks more efficiently, meet stricter specifications, and avoid rework. From the field, truck or office, the entire staff can be connected and equipped with accurate positioning, consistent digital design information, and the ability to locate, measure, and record information.

In summary, Trimble's solution portfolio makes the construction process faster, safer and more cost-effective. Their use increases productivity and leads to better use of materials, assets and workers.

The team believes that the future of the Indian construction industry will be increasingly affected by advances in construction technology. It also recognizes that modern construction technology has not been widely adopted by small companies or small projects in India. Therefore, technology still has great potential to have a real and positive impact on the industry. In addition, many of these technologies are constantly evolving, and the industry will see more complex software supported by cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, deep learning, and computer vision in the future.

At Trimble, the team is committed to helping and supporting the construction industry to undergo large-scale digital transformation in the next few years. It is also committed to providing the best solutions to help construction companies navigate successfully in the future and keep pace with their rapidly evolving needs. In order to make it easier for small and medium-sized AEC companies that cannot always afford high initial costs to obtain technology, the company strategically shifted to a subscription-based payment model starting this year.

Today, Trimble Solutions is in a unique position to help India's construction industry embrace automation and digitalization and prepare for an exciting but challenging future. The team has already cooperated with several leading developers and construction professionals in India and is very pleased to see that the Indian construction industry has finally embarked on the path of digital transformation, which bodes well for the industry.

The Trimble Solutions team believes that the power of AI can be used to make construction sites safer, improve communications, and automatically check for errors and conflicts on the project site. These errors and conflicts are usually the cause of a large amount of rework and waste in the project. As mentioned above, Trimble's modern construction software has combined machine learning and artificial intelligence, and has had an impact on numerous construction projects around the world.

For example, considering the multiple health and risks of construction sites, it created tools like Trimble CrewSight to ensure that only workers who are trained, qualified and equipped to complete a given task can enter the site. Embedded artificial intelligence and video-based surveillance, these tools can completely eliminate the role of human error in security incidents, creating a win-win situation for all stakeholders.

In addition, last year Trimble announced a collaboration with Hilti and Boston Dynamics to use robots to perform daily tasks in hazardous environments to improve safety, efficiency, and consistency in data collection. When these innovations are brought to various countries, it is believed that they will prove to be truly destructive to the global construction industry.

As mentioned above, many of the challenges facing the construction industry today stem directly from low productivity and efficiency when the project is completed, leading to frequent delays and cost overruns-directly affecting the profitability and profitability of construction companies.

The construction industry is a labor-intensive industry. It also relies heavily on traditional construction practices with fragmented processes. Due to the pandemic and subsequent blockade, the industry has been facing an unprecedented crisis since more than a year ago. From labor shortages to rising material and other input costs, today's construction industry urgently needs solutions to increase its productivity and complete projects on time.

This is why the company fundamentally advocates the use of modern construction techniques and technologies to optimize processes and work processes, which is directly related to the effective use of project schedules and personnel, materials and processes, in short, productivity. Although many large industry players have already adopted construction technology, India has yet to see smaller players accepting technology in the same way, but the industry is confident that in due course, most industry players will be more immersive Adopt technology in a situational manner.
