Let's face it, engineering is full of boring, repetitive work. It would be best to automate these tedious tasks and be able to think about creative design solutions again like an engineer is trained to do. With VIKTOR you'll be able to do so with nothing but Python, creating web applications and integrating them with your used software packages. These apps are easily shared across the company (or outside) to automate other engineers' workflows (without coding experience). Resulting in more time efficiency, fewer human errors and more time to engineer the awesome. 

With VIKTOR we are on a mission to unlock the world's engineering potential. With a team of highly skilled engineers based in Rotterdam, we are always ready to help you with your automation challenges. Feel free to reach out to us if you'd like to have a chat.

Automate the boring and engineer the awesome!   

VIKTOR

J.P. van Eesteren is a constructor of mostly large buildings. In their words ‘the construction sector is at a watershed moment in its history’. Their vision is their way to prepare for what the future brings: Making buildings smarter. To facilitate reaching this goal, they developed a Cloud-based parametric design application that can be used to generate the optimal design for residential towers at the push of a button.

The VINCI Construction development team Synaps'Up specialises in building tools that make the work of their engineering teams easier and more efficient. In search of a new deployment solution, they stumbled upon VIKTOR. Now, they are using the VIKTOR platform to automate the calculation of over 200 crane foundation designs every year. Alexandre Cousin, Head of Generative Design at VINCI Construction in France: “Our goal is to calculate crane foundation designs in 15 minutes, whereas this would normally take anywhere from 3 up to 5 days.”

Arcadis

Global design, engineering, and management consulting firm Arcadis is increasingly transitioning into a more digital company, adopting and developing all kinds of new technologies to optimize its engineering processes. For example, in the field of structural engineering where many still experience a significant lack of suitable tools for automation. As a solution, engineers at Arcadis started to develop their own tools to increase productivity and sustainability and save resources, such as the Building Structural Design tool on the VIKTOR platform.

Autodesk Revit is a building information modeling (BIM) software used by architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, NEP engineers, designers, and contractors.

Digital initiatives such as cloud-based Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence are vital to improving internal engineering processes in the international Engineering and Construction firm McDermott. According to Mina Ya-alimadad, AI Projects Manager & Academia Partnership Lead at McDermott, the vision of the AI team at McDermott is to develop AI-based products to automate repetitive engineering tasks. In order to host their in-house applications they started using VIKTOR at the end of last year, including a web app referred to as ReCo tool that uses image recognition to identify mistakes in Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).

We are a construction technology company based in Oakland, CA, that is innovating the construction industry by creating beautiful, affordable, and sustainable homes using 3D printing, robotics, and automation.

Our 3D printing technology allows us to produce modular houses and building components for our clients much faster than traditional construction. Our 3D printers use a thermoset composite material we invented called Light Stone Material (LSM), which hardens when exposed to UV light, making it a more robust building material.

Mighty Buildings has a near-zero waste production process, preventing 1,100 - 2,000 kg of CO2 emission per 3D printed home. We are committed to achieving Net-Zero by 2028 - making our company 22 years ahead of the construction industry.

Not only are we certified under California's Factory Built Housing program to build units using 3D printing, but we are also the first company to achieve certification under the UL 3401 standard for evaluating building structures and assemblies. We are backed by several notable International and Silicon Valley tech investors, including Khosla Ventures, Zeno Ventures, and Y Combinator.

Using Midjourney, Barcelona-based ZUMO delves beyond visualizing familiar, tangible spaces to imagine a surreal concept that unites monumental architecture and sustainable innovation. The Inflatable Skyscrapers harness the power of air to reach unprecedented structural heights, and easily deflate to become compact and transportable. They can be easily moved around and installed, allowing cities to quickly respond to urban development demands and to build with versatility. With their modular design, they can serve as temporary event spaces, emergency shelters, or even as mobile observation decks.

Embracing a circular economy isn't just about being environmentally conscious; it's about making a tangible impact on our carbon footprint. Urban Machine's recent project proves how keeping things local plays a pivotal role in sustainability.

We began with reclaimed wood sourced right here in the Bay Area, demonstrating our commitment to reducing transportation emissions. The wood, deconstructed by FERMA Corporation, was given a new lease on life when our innovative robot removed the metal fasteners, reclaiming it for reuse in American Canyon, CA.

ALL BAY MILL & LUMBER COMPANY, also in American Canyon, milled this reclaimed treasure into a canvas for creativity. Corral , located in Oakland, lent their design expertise to craft tables and bookshelves that tell a story of reclaimed history. JOINERY STRUCTURES, also in Oakland, then brought these designs to life with artisanal touches.

The beauty of this project lies not only in its craftsmanship but in its circularity. By keeping it all within the Bay Area, spanning just under 130 miles, we've significantly reduced our carbon footprint.

This wood, once destined for a landfill, will now grace a business right here in our community.

It's proof that the circular economy isn't just a concept but a powerful force for change that offers discarded materials a vibrant second life while minimizing our environmental impact.

Together, let's Salvage the Past to Build the Future, one project at a time.

Cicurlarity for Furniture

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.
