Last year, upwards of 75 million automobiles were sold worldwide. How many of those buyers stopped and asked themselves how their sweet new ride came to be? For the few who did, even fewer probably considered that it all starts with building the factory. The automotive industry finds itself at the intersection between manufacturing and construction. We can say from experience, constructing buildings and manufacturing vehicle parts at the same time in the same place is no small feat. It's like trying to build a car while it's driving 75 mph down the highway. Sometimes we get the pleasure of breaking ground at a new site, but we're often expanding or renovating existing facilities, all while still having to get products out the door. This session is for owners, manufacturers, and car people alike—join us for a discussion about our experiences with our construction projects, the tools we use to manage them, and how to deal with the nuances we face manufacturing and building at the same time.

The process of managing factory design layout data and fostering collaboration between the design team and external reviewers using Vault software and Autodesk Construction Cloud to handle clashes in Navisworks software is an integrated procedure. The design team can use AutoCAD software or Inventor software to develop the factory design layout, which is then stored in Vault. Vault acts as a secure, centralized storehouse for design data, enabling the team to access the latest information, reducing potential mistakes and rework. It also tracks version history and documents updates, offering clear accountability. Once the design is finalized, it can be disseminated to external reviewers through Autodesk Construction Cloud. Autodesk Construction Cloud serves as a shared data environment, allowing teams to collaborate and exchange design data in real time. It also supports model coordination, document management, and design review, augmenting collaboration between the design team and external reviewers.

Building information modeling (BIM) plays a pivotal role in design, construction, and operations, integrating multidisciplinary data to paint the full picture of the project for greater visibility and decision making. That picture starts to get blurry and unreliable when data isn't accurate or relevant. How do you cut through all that noise to deliver a usable and trustworthy model / data set? Every model goes through distinct phases: authoring, preparation, and actual use. The model can have many downstream uses, but for it to be of value, the model itself must be prepped and the rich data within organized. We have assembled innovative virtual design and construction (VDC) leaders at Gray, Metromont, and Accenture to share how they approach complex models to ensure quality and data-driven deliverables. They will share the processes they have in place to perform QC checks of the models for construction preparedness, and they'll discuss data curation from models and field data to prepare for AI workflows to inform future projects.

"You can have the hottest, most innovative solutions but if you don't have people interacting with it in the way it's intended, our investment in it is de-valued".
