The benefits according to those who already adopt the IA
The companies that started adopting the IA already in 2017 significant benefitsmanaging to quickly absorb the initial investment and subsequently increasing their income. On the contrary, companies that have delayed adoption will have to wait until 2030 or beyond to obtain a return on investment.
Federica BrancaccioPresident Ance, said during the conference in Rome: “Artificial intelligence improves times, costs, reduces waste and makes production more efficient. It is true that the degree of digitization of our companies is very low. But it is useless for us to push the business world to this jump if the public administration does not simultaneously “.
United States vs Europa: Approach differences
Analyzing the 50 main global companies In the construction sector, it emerges that the largest are forming partnerships with technological companies to develop AI -based platforms. However, there are no standardized methodologies to implement this technology, and the staff training remains sporadic and non -systematic.
In United Stateslarge companies adopt a more structured approach, starting from systematic collection of data and then develop specific areas of application.
In Europeon the other hand, the adoption is more gradualwith the implementation of pilot solutions aimed at solving specific problems in projects.
The importance of cultural change
The effectiveness of the AI in the construction sector does not depend only on technology, but also on a cultural change within the organizations.
According to the analyzes, the success of the AI is influenced for 80% from change in management mentality e only for 20% from the technological aspect.
Areas of application of the AI in the construction sector
The IA can be applied in many phases in the sector, from planning to post-execution operational management. Among the most relevant cases we find:
- Safety monitoring: The IA can identify dangerous situations in real time, reporting unauthorized access, providing accidents and verifying compliance with the safety protocols, reducing the number of accidents;
- Optimization of tenders: Technology allows a reduction of up to 80% of the preparation times of the offers;
- efficiency in delivery times: Thanks to the AI, it is possible to reduce the completion times of projects from 50% to 70%;
- reduction of maintenance costs: The use of the AI allows a reduction in costs between 20% and 30%;
- Quality control improvement: The IA allows a more precise control, with an increase in accuracy greater than 80%;
- acceleration of design: Design development times can reduce from 30% to 50%.
