The Hypar platform is a perfect illustration of this quiet revolution. The first step is for users to input their requirements and constraints relating to various criteria such as energy efficiency or environmental impact. By harnessing the power of large language models (LLMs) the tool then generates optimized building plans in just a few minutes. The result of automating this often time-consuming technical process is a significant improvement in productivity. This saves precious time that the design teams can use to focus more on the creative and strategic aspects of their projects. PRODUCTION: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY AI is also revolutionizing production lines, notably through the emergence of AI-controlled robotics. Vestack offers a remarkable illustration of this with its innovative off-site construction process. The company’s smart robots are not pre-programmed; their actions are determined in real time through AI-generated algorithms. These machines analyze each component to be assembled and then automatically define their own sequence of movements, so that tasks such as high-speed nailing can be carried out precisely and as quickly as possible. Far from replacing humans, this development is redefining trades in the sector, with the emergence of new jobs such as robot operator. OPTIMIZED DESIGN PROCESS AND REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT Innovation is also to be found in the formulation of materials, as demonstrated by Concrete Copilot. Using generative AI, this tool can come up with millions of possible mix formulas in just The Ludwig configurator developed by Vestack uses algorithms and AI to create a digital twin of buildings, which are then manufactured in the factory. Architects now have access to digital assistants capable of exploring hundreds of possible variations ©Vestack 37
