What is AB360 Open Lab?
AB360 Open Lab is the first collaborative platform designed for the Modeling of Information Processes in sustainable building, powered by artificial intelligence. Think of it as an open innovation program that develops Micro Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) with a clear focus on positive return on investment. It’s a step-by-step solution aimed at driving the digital transformation for innovative developers, designers, and builders who want to lead rather than follow.
Main Benefits of AB360 Open Lab
Why does AB360 Open Lab stand out? Here’s a quick snapshot of its key benefits:
- Transforms building processes through a collaborative intelligence platform guided by Key Performance Indicators.
- Addresses industry challenges like low productivity and high environmental impact.
- Develops Micro MVPs via agile pilot tests with industrial partners, ensuring practical and profitable outcomes.
- Supports Lean Construction principles aligned with the European Level(s) framework for sustainable building.
- Facilitates continuous learning and iterative programming for constant improvement.
Collaborative Design and Agile Development
At the heart of AB360 Open Lab lies a philosophy of collaboration and agility. It’s not just about adapting to change — it’s about designing it. The program embraces design thinking to keep the user front and center, lean startup methods for rapid prototyping and validation, and scrum techniques for short, effective development cycles. This dynamic approach fosters innovation with courage, rigor, and heart.
Modeling Information Processes with Clear Objectives
AB360’s multidimensional modeling covers all organizational processes involved in building. It sets shared objectives and measures key results to evaluate success effectively. This objective-driven approach ensures that every step in the construction cycle is aligned with measurable outcomes, making the entire process transparent and goal-oriented.
Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Integration
The platform features Platón.ai, an AI-powered virtual assistant that simplifies collaborative management and decision-making. It collects and analyzes data, sends alerts, coordinates communication, and generates insightful reports for developers, designers, and builders. On top of that, AB360 integrates big data from various sources like BIM, PMO, ERP, SAS, and IoT, offering real-time responses and seamless interoperability.
Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure — by promoting innovative construction technologies.
- SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities — through sustainable building practices.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production — by optimizing resource use and reducing waste.
- SDG 13: Climate Action — by lowering environmental impacts in construction.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals — fostering collaboration among diverse construction stakeholders.
The Future of Building with AB360 Open Lab
AB360 Open Lab invites the construction industry to take a leap forward in productivity and sustainability. By applying Lean Construction principles and the European Level(s) framework, it’s possible to increase the added value of projects while reducing their environmental footprint. This collaborative intelligence platform is more than just technology — it’s a movement toward building a better, more sustainable future together.
