Software for preliminary decisions in early planning phases

  • software for preliminary decisions in early planning phases of production, warehouse and logistics facilities
  • identifies the most resource-efficient, spatially and logistically versatile building options
  • intended for production, warehouse and logistics facilities
  • identifies the most resource-efficient, spatially and logistically versatile building options
  • generates optimized warehouse variants with regard to
    • life cycle assessment - Global Warming Potential (GWP) including CO2 emissions, primary energy demand (PEI), acidification potential (AP).
    • recycling potential,
    • adaptability in use and
    • costs
  • over the course of the entire lifecycle
  • optimizes building design based upon anticipated production planning scenarios
  • automatically provides real-time recommendations for building materials, structural framework and production layouts
  • optimization of structural design in terms of: various building materials, their carbon footprint and recycling potential; as well as life cycle costs and the adaptability of building usage.
  • reduces the time required to generate and investigate layout and structural variants by a factor of 10 to 20
  • most effectively anticipates later planning steps and helps to avoid time-consuming rescheduling or modifications
  • facilitates cooperation between planning participants through the use of visualizations in virtual space
  • promotes clarification of user expectations and planning implications as well as rapid mutual understanding between facility users or clients and building designer

 

Level of innovation

  • worldwide unique platform for automated integrative facility planning and optimization
  • Promotes both resource conservation and sustainability as well as the adaptability of production required by Industry 4.0
  • is comprehensive and up-to-date regarding the level of structural optimization (standardization), life cycle assessment and life cycle costs of industrial buildings currently available for Austria - adaptable to any country or region
  • first presentation at a conference

Target groups and/or use cases

  • manufacturing industry as well as logistics companies
  • fast-growing and expanding businesses
  • decision-makers concerned about sustainability
  • Tool for builders for internal draft or preliminary planning
  • Tool for specialist planners from the fields of structural analysis, architecture and production planning
