The construction industry is facing real challenges when it comes to innovation and adoption of digitised business models . However a pioneering team at ATLAS is solving that problem for healthcare construction .
One of the main issues holding the industry back is the so-called ‘ silo effect ’ - meaning the ( i ) linear nature of information being passed from silo to silo and ( ii ) the variety of different information formats involved .
ATLAS ’ innovative end-to-end digital platform ( ICAS ®) uses AI and parametric design to interconnect the design , procurement and construction process into a single software platform , providing customers with an ‘ aggregated source of truth ’ for their projects and delivering a unified offering that streamlines the entire process .
