ALICE Technologies announced that multiple European customers have substantially increased the profitability of their major construction projects by optioneering their schedules using the ALICE platform. The AI-powered construction optioneering solution helps general contractors and owners worldwide to leverage the power of generative scheduling to plan, bid and build their capital projects more efficiently. Customers are currently using the ALICE platform on a variety of infrastructure projects across Europe. With ALICE, they are able to challenge their baseline schedules and explore alternative ways to build using ALICE’s powerful “what-if” analysis capabilities. Through this optioneering process, ALICE customers have developed schedule alternatives that are substantially more profitable than the originals.  As exemplified here, through their use of the ALICE platform, major European GCs have increased their profits by an average of 91%: Project type Original profit margin (est.)

In a year where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has reported record ocean temperatures, an innovative project from Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), built in collaboration with NVIDIA, is showing how artificial intelligence can be used to fuse data and detect anomalies in current environmental conditions. Since 2022, Lockheed Martin has collaborated with NVIDIA to build a prototype of an AI-driven Earth and Space Observing Digital Twin that can: Process live streams of incoming weather data, apply AI and machine learning to analyze the data, Display current global environmental conditions from satellite and ground-based observations and output from weather forecasting models. Recently, the project achieved a significant milestone, demonstrating one of NOAA’s critical data pipelines – sea surface temperatures – to highlight multi-sensor fusion from satellite and model data along with short term temperature anomalies. The Earth and Space Observing Digital Twin aims to provide NOAA with an efficient and centralized approach to fuse
