CONTACT Software is testing how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can significantly accelerate the modernization of German waterways. The solution aims to reduce the effort required to search for information by 60%. Germany’s waterway infrastructure is in considerable need of modernization, as a look at the age structure reveals: 80% of locks are over 50 years old, with 33% even exceeding 100 years of age (as of 2023). At the same time, there is a lack of experts to carry out the urgently needed measures. One major issue: those responsible spend a lot of time searching for archive information. In the HyProTwin project, CONTACT Software and partners are developing an AI-based solution to relieve their workload and implement projects more efficiently. Until now, archive data such as construction or maintenance plans for infrastructure buildings had to be painstakingly researched from various sources. The quality of this information varies greatly, from structured data to partially

Modelon releases support for the Modelica Buildings Library in Modelon Impact, the market leading platform for system simulations. This integration allows Modelon to address the growing market for buildings performance, enabling scalable modeling and simulation within a modern, collaborative environment. The Modelica Buildings Library, developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), is a robust open-source resource for modeling building energy and control systems. It provides validated models for HVAC, electrical systems, geothermal storage, controls, and thermal envelopes. It is widely used in commercial engineering projects and academic research projects to design low-energy buildings, evaluate control strategies, model district energy systems and data centers, and to explore innovative architectural and system configurations. The library supports system-level analysis, long-term performance simulations, and advanced co-simulation with tools like EnergyPlus. The Buildings Library’s integration in Modelon Impact opens new ways to access and apply its capabilities. Combining this widely respected open-source library with Modelon's cloud-native platform,

OpenSpace, the global leader in 360° reality capture and AI-powered analytics, announced the launch of OpenSpace Progress Tracking. Powered by Disperse, the new milestone-based solution helps construction teams quickly capture visual jobsite data and generate actionable insights, enabling earlier detection of productivity issues and cost overruns. OpenSpace Progress Tracking can be used to validate work-in-place for billing, identify schedule risks early by comparing actual progress to planned milestones, coordinate more effectively across trades, and deliver clear, visual progress summaries to all stakeholders. As a result, teams can make more informed decisions and better manage project schedules and budgets. “OpenSpace Progress Tracking, powered by Disperse’s advanced analytics, allows us to spot productivity issues much earlier in the project — sometimes as early as 10% completion — giving us critical time to address them before they escalate,” said Vito Antuofermo, Vice President, Commodore Construction. “In the past, we might not have realized significant cost overruns until
