Transforming AECO from Concept to Construction

The design, construction, and operation of buildings and infrastructure brings complex challenges. To meet them, architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) companies worldwide use NVIDIA technologies to optimize designs, mitigate hazards, and collaborate more effectively, even when working remotely. With breakthroughs in AI, 3D graphics virtualization, virtual reality (VR), and collaboration solutions like NVIDIA Omniverse™ Enterprise, firms are transforming their workflows to reimagine our world’s future.

NVIDIA RTX FOR AECO VIRTUAL GPU FOR AECO

Accelerate Design Workflows

Advanced technologies, such as immersive VR, real-time ray tracing, and 3D graphics virtualization, are vastly improving design and visualization of BIM models while boosting productivity and innovation.

Enable Data-Driven Decision Making

With GPU-powered data science and AI, AECO teams can tap into vast amounts of data—including design, environmental, simulation, and structural—to gain insights into everything from traffic flows to weather conditions.

Ensure Safety, Maximize Cost Savings

GPU-powered AI and robotics power autonomous vehicles on construction sites, enable real-time construction site safety compliance monitoring, and automate more accurate infrastructure inspection.

Real-Time Architectural Visualization

AECO firms worldwide rely on NVIDIA advanced visual computing technologies to accelerate their workflows as they collaborate on building and infrastructure design. Architects, engineers, and designers use NVIDIA RTX™-powered workstations to power real-time ray tracing, virtual reality, engineering simulation, and AI-enabled applications. NVIDIA RTX™ Virtual Workstation (vWS) software provides desktop-level graphics performance for design teams working remotely on large, complex BIM models. And with NVIDIA Omniverse™ for AEC, a graphics and simulation platform that enables real-time collaboration on photorealistic digital twins, project teams can transform the conceptual design process.
