Technology Flashcards
Technology types
Technology enablers: solutions to store, process and generate vast volumes of data
Digital solutions: use this data to drive better value
On-site execution solutions: mostly hardware used in the field
Technology enablers
Big data
Digital twins: digital replica of a physical asset
Internet of things: use of internet connected devices
Mobile and cloud technologies
Mobile and cloud technologies
Mobile computing: devices used to access internet likes phones, tablets etc.
Cloud computing: virtual storage areas
Digital solutions
AI and ML
BIM
Blockchain
RPA
GIS
RFID
low-code / no-code platforms
AI and ML
AI is when machine mimics human cognitive functions
ML is a subset of AI that leverages models and algorithms to learn from input data
Blockchain
Series of linked blocks of data that form a digital ledger
Each time a transaction is made the blockchain confirms and adds it to the ledger
03 key principles of blockchain are:
1 - secure
2 - decentralized
3 - scalable
RPA
Virtual bots hosted on a server or cloud that mimic humans in order to carry out structured, logic-based tasks
RFID - radio frequency identification devices
Tag is situated on the item or person
Scanner or reader communicates with the tag to retrieve information
Active tags: constant communication with the scanner
Passive tags: only when the tag is close to the scanner
Low-code / no-code
Also known as citizen development
On-site execution devices
Robotics / autonomous machinery
VR and AR
Drones
3D printing
Wearables and exoskeletons
AR and VR
Wearables and exoskeletons
Big data
Five defining properties of Big Data
Volume
Velocity
Variety (structured, semi-structured and un-structured like phots which is not a row-column structure)
Veracity (quality and accuracy of data)
Value
BIM Levels
Level 0 - CAD and no collaboration
Level 1 - 3D with low level of collaboration
Level 2 - Possibly 4D and 5D with collaboration
Level 3 or iBIM - full collaboration and introperability
BIM dimensions
4D - time
5D cost
6D - also called iBIM helps assess sustainability by modeling energy consumption
7D - operations and facility management including asset data, warranties, maintenance schedule etc.
