What Does "AACE" Stand For?

The legal name since 1992 is AACE International. In 1956 the organization was established as the American Association of Cost Engineers. While you may have seen that “AACE” stands for the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering, this is only a statement that encompasses the work of the Association, not a legal name.

DESCRIPTION:

This webinar presents the impact of IoT sensors - visual and location data to automate data collection from the construction sites in real time. In the last decade, we saw industries evolving from paper based process to digital data management, However, passive and real time data collection is only possible now with the influx of new sensors and networking technologies. Combined with its lowering cost and increasing complexity and risk of construction projects, the opportunity to transform the industry with data driven decision making is massive.

During the webinar we will show you :

  • The impact of real time data on productivity
  • How to predict and prevent delays, cost overruns and safety incidents using data and artificial intelligence, and
  • How to optimize productivity
