Discover how LEONHARD WEISS is transforming energy projects with LEONOVA. Make data-driven decisions and explore modern use cases, while benefiting from our core energy expertise, from property assessment to construction, funding and efficient operation. Concise and practical.

In the construction industry, sustainability is often assessed at the end of the process – when the most important decisions have long since been made. This presentation shows why certifications alone do not make buildings more sustainable and how an early, data-based look at CO₂ opens up real design possibilities. 

The presentation highlights the transformation in the construction industry and demonstrates how digital technologies, innovative tools, and collaborative methods can make construction processes more efficient, transparent, and future-ready. The starting point is the set of challenges such as skilled labor shortages, increasing complexity, and sustainability requirements. 

Three key levers are introduced: 

Digitalization: The use of BIM for model-based coordination, sensor technology for quality assurance, digital construction platforms (e.g., Fieldwire), and equipment/material management with On!Track enhance transparency and productivity. 

Collaborative Tools & Methods: Approaches such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), Lean Construction, and Common Data Environments (CDE) foster collaboration, minimize conflicts, and enable a unified data foundation.

Innovative Tools: Prefabrication, exoskeletons, drilling robots (Jaibot), 3D printing, and cobots increase precision, reduce physical strain, and shorten construction times. Finally, a look ahead to the possible future is provided: Automation, AI, digital twins, and image processing are expected to support complex decisions and processes in an automated way – with the ultimate goal of automatically answering the questions “What? Where? How?” in building services installations.

AI is transforming the built environment, but its impact depends on how we structure, govern, and scale data.

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally accelerating the design process – not by providing better answers, but by allowing us to think faster. More precisely: to iterate, test, and make ideas visible in a fraction of the time. In this context, AI becomes a new tool in the design process – a catalyst for exploration rather than decision-making. It expands the field of possibilities while simultaneously reframing questions of quality, precision, and control. Using concrete examples from the practice of JASPER ARCHITECTS, we will demonstrate how AI is applied in design today: as a tool to reduce repetitive tasks, unlock new directions, and accelerate the creative process. At the same time, it addresses the challenges involved – the ambiguity of results, the risk of arbitrariness, and the growing importance of prompting as a new discipline to be mastered. AI expands the field - intent remains with us.

What does Artificial Intelligence mean specifically for planning, construction, and operations, and how is it already being used today? This concise overview of Autodesk's AI vision demonstrates how new features of Autodesk AI make projects and processes faster, more efficient, and of higher quality, and how, in particular, construction execution benefits from AI features in the Autodesk Construction Cloud.

More than just a WebCam:

• The CraneCam provides precise, traceable data on a daily basis for planning, monitoring, and documentation. High-resolution cameras mounted on the crane boom capture the current progress of construction.
• Our automated and certified DroneCam solutions also document your construction site daily with centimeter-level accuracy. The automated drone can thus easily cover large construction projects such as rail and road construction or large construction sites.

Daily results

• georeferenced orthophotos accurate to the centimeter
• Elevation model
• 3D point cloud

All data can be interactively visualized in the TEDAMOS web portal and overlaid with plans.

We demonstrate

• Technology
• Added value for site managers, construction companies, and building owners
• How our customers use the solution

Construction projects generate large volumes of visual information, yet classic photos often remain isolated snapshots with limited context and comparability. AI-powered 360° reality capture structures visual data spatially and over time, systematically linking it to plans and project progress. This makes changes and progress traceable, deviations easier to identify, and visual information comparable across the project. The result is a shared, objective view of reality that improves transparency, coordination, and confidence in decision-making across complex construction environments.

Construction projects, critical infrastructure, and complex operations require comprehensive security. By day, the focus is on smart technologies, efficiency, and AI-driven processes — by night, on protecting projects, materials, and critical assets. This talk connects digital transformation and security into a clear, practical strategy for future-ready organizations.

Huge spaces, huge potential: Retail properties are among the biggest untapped PV opportunities on the market. In this slot, decision-makers will learn how roof space can be strategically used for photovoltaics to reduce energy costs, measurably strengthen ESG goals, and increase the value of the property at the same time. Compact, data-driven, with clear recommendations for action—a must-see for anyone who wants to combine efficiency and sustainability now.

The presentation “Lean meets Scheduling – and everything falls apart?” looks at the practical application of Lean approaches and traditional project scheduling. It highlights typical challenges that arise when different methods and systems interact in real projects. The focus is on how these planning approaches work together in practice and what this means for transparency, collaboration, and project controls.

Digitizing portfolios efficiently is a key challenge for operators and owners. The presentation shows how buildings can be quickly converted into structured data sets using scanning technology, automatically generated digital building models, and AI-based detection of technical systems. Instead of creating highly detailed models that are difficult to maintain, the focus is on lightweight digital building models that can be efficiently updated even when changes are made to the portfolio. This creates a robust basis for space analysis, operation, planning, and scalable portfolio decisions.

The structural phase of construction today often fails due to too many interfaces, delays, and a lack of predictability. I show how the Xella Construction Service (COS) connects planning, production, and installation into one continuous process, reducing complexity. Using real projects—from residential developments to logistics facilities—you will see how planning turns into a fully installed solution. The result: reliable timelines, cost certainty, fewer change orders, and scalable performance—transforming fragmented construction into a serial structural process.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) serves as a central platform for data, documents, and collaboration in infrastructure projects. Obermeyer uses ACC to establish consistent structures, clear governance, and standardized processes across projects. The presentation demonstrates how standardization and scalability become critical success factors for an effective CDE in infrastructure planning, particularly when geographically dispersed specialist teams collaborate across Obermeyer’s various branches or with planning partners, as well as in relation to the involvement of clients. 

This masterclass explores the contribution of robotics to every phase of the infrastructure lifecycle — from planning and construction to inspection, maintenance, and operation. Participants will learn how autonomous robotic systems can improve efficiency,
safety, and data quality, with real-world examples of deployments on customers’ premises across industrial and urban infrastructure projects. Practical insights into integrating drones, mobile robots, and sensor-based platforms will demonstrate how robotics
is transforming infrastructure management.
 

AI makes construction sales faster, more precise, and easier to plan. We’ll demonstrate live how intelligent technologies automate manual processes—from identifying opportunities to creating proposals and integrating subcontractors.

1. Find projects sooner. AI identifies relevant construction projects before the official call for bids and automatically evaluates them based on their potential.

2. From PDF to proposal in minutes. Specifications are extracted from PDFs, structured, and directly assigned to your portfolio—for lightning-fast proposals.

3. Your personal AI agent. Automatic summaries, emails, prioritization, opportunity calculation, and smart service routing.

4. Smart subcontractor assignment. A digital portal invites subcontractors, collects feedback, and compares bids using AI. 
 

Bring your most challenging processes - at our booth, we’ll demonstrate live how AI can simplify or automate them.

Invested a lot. Changed little. - The uncomfortable truth about transformation in the age of AI and digitalization
Many companies are currently investing millions in digitalization and AI. New systems, new platforms, new projects. And yet the sobering experience remains:
The effort is high – the tangible benefits often low.
This presentation addresses precisely this issue. It shows why transformation fails not because of what we introduce, but because of how organizations decide, lead, and work together. Using the three modes of adaptation, renewal, and genuine transformation, it becomes clear why technology alone does not create a future. Because genuine transformation does not begin in the system. It begins in the company itself.
