With Idox’s FusionLive, users can automatically extract and generate asset data to populate digital twins and link them to related engineering documentation, which users can share with owners on project handover. The technology is an integration of Idox’s engineering information management platform, FusionLive, and its proprietary tag extraction and management technology. The tag extraction process scrapes hundreds of tags from documents and automatically validates them against a master tag register before the data is loaded into the digital twin. FusionLive is best for engineering, procurement and construction companies working on large, capital-intensive projects.

Video & Cool Stuff

Kenzen’s recent study with three research universities to compare and validate Kenzen’s continuous core body temperature monitoring technology against existing methodologies validated that the Kenzen wearable device algorithm accurately measures workers’ body temperature at rest and during physical activity, in cool, hot and humid conditions. Kenzen devices worn by workers contain sensors that monitor, in real-time, an individual’s physiological responses. The worker is warned, via a smart phone app and device vibration, when their core temperature is too high and they are in danger of a heat-related injury or illness.
