AUTODESK ADDRESS NEED FOR CONNECTED DATA
Datum360 has joined Autodesk to address the immediate need for better, more connected data. In addition to this, Autodesk’s AEC Data Model API is now generally available, making granular data accessible to Autodesk Docs users.
The acquisition of Datum360 is said to enable the company to better support the near-term data management needs of architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) users.
FULLY ELECTRIC SLIPFORM PAVER
Leica Geosystems, a part of Hexagon, and Roos Groep, a company specialising in road construction, have announced that they have developed the ‘world’s first’ fully electric slipform paver, guided by Leica Geosystems’ 3D machine control solution.
The system features dual GNSS for heading and a total station for precise height control. By implementing machine control on top of a zeroemission slipform paver, the company says that operational downtime is reduced, energy efficiency is optimised, and environmental and performance benefits are increased.
