These awards were designed in collaboration with local Bay Area students and Corral for the 20th Anniversary IIDA Honor Awards using wood reclaimed by Urban Machine's robot.

Awards Made from Reclaimed Wood

We are on a mission to reclaim the millions of tons of wood waste from construction and demolition by reclaiming it into high volume, locally sourced, premium lumber products.

By using AI, The Machine removes staples and nails from reclaimed wood to turn it into premium lumber products. This lowers the carbon footprint and solves the problem of wood waste.

We reclaim & co-create locally sourced premium lumber products, creating a circular economy. In doing this, we preserve secular forests, reduce logistical costs, and allow for the health benefits of wood in our environments to be reaped.

Victoria University (VU) Tower, the tallest university building in the southern hemisphere, comprises of around 43,300sqm floor area over 32 levels. With strong support from contractors and subcontractors, Ynomia was able to push the envelope and add immense value through a highly-automated and sensor-based application, tracking concrete structure, facade panels and other parts of the project to connect Supply Chain and Site like never before.

Victoria University Tower

Why?
Construction has always suffered from major Data Quality and Visibility Problems caused by manual workflows and fragmented data and tools, making it near impossible to maintain an accurate picture of progress and make informed decisions, especially in the management of complex supply chains with various off-site activities and stakeholders. 

What?
Ynomia tracks and reports on the progress of all building components, predominantly high-value off-site fabricated elements, including Precast Concrete, Modular Assemblies, Cladding/Glazing, M&E, Pods and more. We record progress and decisions as they happen and deliver actionable and real-time insights over the duration of the project as we build up a data-rich digital record of each building component across Design, Manufacture, Logistics, Construction and Handover. 

How?
We create best and densest possible set of data and insights, and bring it all together in our Real-Time Digital Twin Dashboard by combining Integrations with existing systems and tools, Automation via our own QR & Bluetooth Tag & Track, and our Low-touch Mobile App - the simplest and most user-friendly in the industry.

Keßler Solutions

As a provider of facility management solutions, Keßler Solutions has depended on the integration of CAD drawings and databases for more than 20 years. CAD plans are linked to databases and processes in FAMOS, Keßler’s GEFMA-certified computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software, by ARES Commander. This allows for bidirectional data sharing, informative visuals, excellent data quality, and FM process integration.

Graebert and Keßler are collaborating to expand this technology with strong, market-oriented CAD solutions. The Web-CAD, an integrated CAD core for the FAMOS WebPortal from Keßler, was built on the basis of ARES Kudo in a relatively short development period. This means that a CAD viewer is now available for users working on mobile devices, enabling them to work as they normally do, without having to learn anything new. This makes it easier to integrate CAD data into the database — for example, by comparing different planning stages on the construction site. The Web-CAD is ideal for everyday usage, such as on building sites (construction progress/status documentation) or in facility management procedures (occupation, relocation, inventory, events).

CADflow for ARES® is an add-on that synchronizes data between drawings and the FAMOS database.

ARES Kudo enables users to access, create, and modify DWG files stored in popular cloud storage services such as Google Drive®, Box®, Dropbox®, and OneDrive®.
