Ahmad Almontshery, Digital Architecture and Delivery Director at ARDARA, delivered a compelling presentation at the Construction Technology Confex UAE 2024 titled “AI & Digital Twins in Quality Control and Competitive Edge: Ardara’s DPMO Transformation.” His talk focused on the transformative potential of AI and digital twins in elevating Ardara’s project management processes and overall competitive position in the construction industry.
Almontshery highlighted Ardara’s flagship development in Abha, Saudi Arabia, showcasing how the company integrated AI and digital twins from the project’s inception to improve design, construction quality, and efficiency. This digital strategy, which aims to embed AI in every project phase, allows for real-time progress monitoring, quality control, and a more seamless design collaboration. One of the key takeaways was how early AI implementation ensures the alignment of design and construction efforts, reducing errors and optimizing performance.
The presentation also into the practical applications of digital twins in real-time project simulations, progress monitoring, and safety assessments. This data-driven approach enables Ardara to model future scenarios, mitigating risks before they manifest in real-world projects. By leveraging AI, Ardara has successfully created a digital ecosystem that integrates multiple teams, stakeholders, and processes, ensuring the project meets the highest quality standards.
A particularly intriguing part of the discussion revolved around Ardara’s use of digital twins for marketing purposes. By utilizing virtual reality (VR), they offer stakeholders a glimpse of the finished project, engaging both investors and the public, thereby strengthening community involvement.
In conclusion, Almontshery’s presentation showcased how AI and digital twins are not just tools for streamlining processes but powerful assets in transforming the construction lifecycle, from design through to project completion. As Ardara continues to push the boundaries of innovation, their AI-driven approach sets a new benchmark for quality control and competitive edge in the industry.
