The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is worth $8 trillion globally. Like other industries it has constantly been adopting the latest technologies to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve turnaround time. Tools such Augmented Reality using AutoCAD are being increasingly used to create high tech construction jobsites. The AEC businesses are improving their productivity using AR. If you are looking to embrace the next level of technological innovation, you should start exploring Augmented Reality Apps.
Collaborations and Sharing
Like several other industries Augmented Reality apps are helping the construction industry improve their efficiency levels and bottom line at the same time. These AR apps help bring the power of BIM onto the jobsite. Your team will be able to collaborate and share information and 3D models in real-time.
These apps offer advanced 3D visualization of designs both in the field and in the office. This goes a long way in preventing wasted time in meeting during design and construction. For instance your team on the jobsite will be able to share live CAD/BIM using the apps and work with anyone in the world using livestreaming features. These apps have matured over time and are solving the real problems that businesses face in their day to day activities.
Augmented Reality apps are Cost Effective
There is a belief that adopting Augmented Reality in business involves large capital expenditure. This is far from the truth as you may already own the hardware to embrace this technology. While smart glasses such as HoloLens 2 are the next generation of AR, you can enjoy the advantage of Augmented Reality on iPad and mobile devices running iOS and Android
Bring Augmented Reality on iPad or your mobile devices and you will be able to stay ahead of the production schedules and also increase collaboration.
Summary – In this write-up we look at how Augmented Reality apps are helping construction businesses increase productivity and improving the bottom line.
