Bentley Infrastructure Cloud encompasses ProjectWise, for
project delivery; SYNCHRO, for construction; and AssetWise, for
asset operations. These enterprise systems now leverage digital
twin technologies, powered by iTwin, to open up data contained in
engineering files through automated and intrinsic mapping to
Bentley’s infrastructure schemas. By advancing these enterprise
systems to become fundamentally data-centric without disrupting
file-based workflows, Bentley Infrastructure Cloud provides user
organizations with significant opportunities to improve
collaboration, productivity, and quality.
Bentley’s infrastructure schemas are both open and
extensible, and now link to reality modeling and IoT devices, and
incorporate carbon calculation and subsurface data. The rich data
representation of Bentley’s infrastructure schemas serves well the
export of Industry Foundation Classes. The ability to share data
seamlessly and to enrich it throughout the lifecycle helps
engineering firms and owner-operators create and derive more value
from their engineering data.
The potential for a unifying, cloud-based solution across the
lifecycle of infrastructure engineering arises from the
institutionalized limitations of fragmented information flows that
have impeded connections, feedback, analytics, reuse, and knowledge
transfer. Bentley Infrastructure Cloud comprises a data-centric,
always on, always current, always accessible federated environment
that persists and relates engineering data throughout the span of
design, construction, and operations. Information mobility and
semantic continuity across traditional boundaries through Bentley
Infrastructure Cloud will help accelerate, among other
advancements, modular design and design for constructability, and
performance-based design.
Bentley’s Senior Vice President of Enterprise Systems Ken
Adamson said, “Bentley Infrastructure Cloud stands for our
commitment to connect everyone and everything in the infrastructure
engineering value chain and extended project ecosystems.
Infrastructure professionals deserve an evergreen digital twin
environment for data that they can trust and act upon. I believe
Bentley Systems is uniquely positioned to fulfill this requirement
by virtue of the combined comprehensiveness of our ProjectWise,
SYNCHRO, and AssetWise enterprise systems, our software’s intrinsic
engineering fidelity, and our commitment to openness – including
our unique resolve to semantically integrate the full range of
relevant engineering file formats. The iTwin Platform, in becoming
the robust foundation for unifying all of our software development,
has been proven equal to this challenge.”
ProjectWise, Powered by iTwin
Bentley Systems also unveiled major enhancements to ProjectWise
to extend its scope from work-in-progress engineering to full
digital delivery. By supplementing each project’s sequential
file-based workflows with data-centric information mobility and
analytics across all projects:
- through new project portfolio and program management
capabilities, ProjectWise users can now apply analytics at the
level of engineering fidelity across all projects, learn from and
reuse rich project data, and retain knowledge to enhance the
quality and efficiency of future projects; and
- through new digital twin capabilities, ProjectWise users
can undertake interdisciplinary design reviews and advanced design
validation to improve the effectiveness and quality of their
designs, and also increase the richness of their digital
deliverables for construction and operations, to position their
businesses for transformational digital services beyond
handover.
Powered by iTwin:
ProjectWise leverages iTwin Capture to
integrate reality modeling data, increasingly the norm, to capture
and monitor the digital context of designs, geospatially
coordinated with engineering data;
ProjectWise leverages Bentley’s
infrastructure schemas to semantically align design-file data
across multiple disciplines for comprehensive design reviews, and
across all projects to understand dependencies, and to reuse
datasets, including for machine-learning to develop proprietary
analytics;
ProjectWise will leverage iTwin
Experience to offer immersive visibility into project digital
twins, assuring quality and improving performance;
ProjectWise 4D Design Review, powered
by iTwin, enables users to securely share large, complex models
with their entire project ecosystem, regardless of authoring
applications. Reviewers can perform virtual walk-throughs, query
model information, and analyze embedded property data using a
simple web browser. A streamlined interface makes interdisciplinary
review of 2D and 3D models easier and more accessible, and enables
reviewers to see who changed what and when, through 4D
visualization;
Advanced Design Validation, powered by
iTwin, includes 3D digital workflows, integration with Bentley’s
OpenRoads and third-party applications, and AI/ML enhanced
visualization, enabling simulation of the driver experience to
validate designs and assure requirements are met;
ProjectWise Components Center, a
cloud-based digital component management and library service with
direct integration to engineering applications, drives
standardization, automation, and reuse of design objects to deliver
projects faster and more reliably. Engineering firms can now
leverage data from one design to another, capture lessons learned,
create reusable components, and truly industrialize their project
delivery expertise; and
Digital Delivery capabilities leverage
digital workflows to automate and manage the creation, exchange,
and review of contractual deliverables including PDFs and Industry
Foundation Classes, as well as digital twins. ProjectWise users can
avoid wasting time manually assembling and sending packages, reduce
risk by gaining visibility and traceability in deliverables
workflows, and by automatically maintaining a comprehensive audit
trail.
Powered by iTwin within Bentley Infrastructure Cloud,
ProjectWise for digital delivery enhances engineering firms’
opportunities while minimizing their risks, improving project
performance and quality assurance. Infrastructure digital twins
created in the design phase can be valuable to owner-operators as
incremental project deliverables, including engineering firms’
recurring services as “digital integrators” for data quality and
security, proprietary analytics, and monitoring.
Lori Hufford, vice president, engineering collaboration for
Bentley Systems, commented: “Engineering firms today face
unprecedented challenges to deliver more and better projects
despite scarcer talent, a retiring workforce, and loss of
institutional knowledge. By leveraging the iTwin Platform, we are
now able to advance ProjectWise beyond engineering work-in-progress
for one project at a time, to be used across all projects to
maximize insights, learnings, and reuse, and for machine learning.
ProjectWise users already have a wealth of project experience
incorporated in their ProjectWise archives. Now as part of Bentley
Infrastructure Cloud, ProjectWise can drive a necessary step-change
in the efficiency, effectiveness, and transformation of engineering
firms.”
AssetWise, Asset Health Monitoring Solutions, Powered by
iTwin
Finally, Bentley also announced the availability of new
asset-specific solutions, powered by iTwin, that leverage iTwin
Experience, iTwin Capture, and iTwin IoT to
deliver real-time asset health monitoring.
AssetWise Bridge Monitoring solution transforms
traditional bridge inspections into a modern, digital workflow. By
flying drones and using iTwin Capture to create a 3D digital twin
of the bridge, inspections can be conducted virtually, avoiding
costly and hazardous field trips, while tapping into expertise
remotely and leveraging AI/ML to automatically identify and
classify defects. Information is made available to stakeholders
across the workflow via iTwin Experience. Inspection data required
to correct issues can be seamlessly handed over to maintenance,
design, and construction to create substantial savings.
AssetWise Dam Monitoring solution is purpose-built for
engineering firms to offer digital services to dam operators who
are modernizing their dam safety programs to reduce risk and
address growing regulatory requirements. The upcoming solution will
provide unified access to sensor data and will be able to be
deployed without the need for specialized technicians. Users can
incorporate sensor data in any digital twin for a contextual view
of real-time data and associated metrics.
Cory Baldwin, vice president, infrastructure IoT for Bentley
Systems, said, “We want to enable engineering firms to become
digital integrators for the infrastructure digital twins they
create in the project delivery phase, and to curate performance
digital twins for owner-operators. To accelerate these
opportunities, engineering firms can now start quickly with iTwin
Capture, iTwin Experience, iTwin IoT, and our AssetWise monitoring
cloud solutions, ready to add their own branded proprietary and
asset-specific analytics and service programs.”
AssetWise Bridge Monitoring and Dam Monitoring solutions are in
