MOD’s Post

TLDR; Same company, same team, new product (prefab supply chain platform), new name (MOD)! Over the past two years, we have learned a lot about the challenges of the construction industry. Its transformation towards higher productivity and sustainability continues to be demanding. With our offerings, we have aimed to solve two problems: experts and training. After several projects with customers and later launching the AEC Coding & Automation School, we have realized that productivity leaps in construction will only be possible when industrialization encompasses the entire value chain. It is now clear to us that prefabrication is the most sensible and scalable way to achieve this. Real estate developers around the world are investing in configurable products. Manufacturers are building up prefabrication capacities. In over 200 conversations with executives and professionals on both sides, we have found that this brings new challenges. Both sides are too far apart due to the existing planning and construction processes. That's why, four months ago, we started developing MOD, a platform to make prefabrication supply chains more efficient, scalable, and sustainable. MOD is a machine learning-powered platform that connects developers, architects and planners with the available prefab capacities of manufacturers. Major parts of our platform are available as open source to enable open collaboration between those involved in the construction process We want to enable everyone to work together to increase the performance of prefab supply chains for everyone’s benefit. Calling for collaboration but building closed systems has not really helped the industry so far. MOD is deeply integrated into design tools and planning processes and can assess a project's prefabrication potential without any obligation to a specific system or supplier. It is based on the available production capacities of the relevant suppliers for a project. We provide suppliers of elements and systems with earlier access to projects. The assessment of prefabrication potential is exclusively parametric. It does not require product data from manufacturers. Companies that have prefabrication capacity will achieve higher utilization, considering the fluctuating demand in a project-based supply chain. New, innovative suppliers that previously struggled with market access can be easily integrated into projects. We have already qualified 2,000 production facilities and are working with first customers on their projects to increase the degree of prefabrication. Given promising initial results, positive feedback, and industry interest, we are rebranding to MOD to better reflect our new direction. So, if you know manufacturers, real estate developers, or architects who are interested in our solution, let us know. Software developers eager to contribute to our open-source solution are also welcome to reach out. We can't wait to play our part in the industrialization of construction.

Last weekend we joined the AEC Hackathon by opensource.construction and AEC Hackathon at ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences. These were fantastic three days meeting old and new friends, learning about the latest tech in AEC and - most importantly - becoming part of an incredibly talented and dedicated (global) community that will shape the future of this industry more than anyone can imagine today. Thanks for organizing Maximilian Vomhof, Konrad Graser, AEC Hackathon and team. Also: Yashar Moradi is taking over the opensource.construction country lead for Germany - ping him if you want to learn more, contribute or have ideas for activities in D! Alar Jost, Edyta Augustynowicz, Martino Tschudi, Christian Kongsgaard, Judith Wiesinger, PhD, Pablo Mayrgundter, Mark Baldwin, Giulia Bosshard, Tom Van Mele, Manuel Emmenegger and many more - great to meet or catch up!

🚀 AEC Automation Success Stories: Upcoming Webinar🚀 Have you ever been curious about the number of engineers required for mega-projects valued at $2 billion or more?   Take the Sphere in Las Vegas – it was brought to life by just four engineers, with code playing a pivotal role.   Join us as Milos Dimcic, the visionary founder of Programming Architecture, shares his learnings from landmark projects, including the Sphere. He'll reveal how he and his team constantly push the limits of engineering through programming, automation, and fabrication - at scale. 🗓️ Date: 23 February 2024 📍 Location: Online #bim #aec #architecture #engineering #spherelasvegas #sphere #automation #coding Are you joining?
