Beyond Buildings episodes

  • Digital Twin Thinking

    In this episode of the Beyond Buildings Podcast, we talk about Digital Twins with the insightful Digital Twin Specialist, Ken Olling from SEKAI. Ken does a buzzword breakdown of his perspective of what a Digital Twin is, and what it means for their customers. 


    We get to hear about the SEKAI way where Digital Twins can act as;


    A way to make sense of data from different systems, enabling analytics initiatives to create value from data coming from different sources. 


     The visual representation needed for people to understand what is going on from a holistic perspective, irrespective of background, skill-set and discipline.


    Act in real-time, absorbing reality from any source, creating the possibilities to act ahead of time. 


    As an innovation platform for the future, to bring, people, ideas, systems together in a holistic, understandable way. 


    We talk about how their software platform helps organizations create digital twins and the global need of getting away from so-called twin washing, and that the industry needs to be more concrete and get going with real-use cases. 


    We also discuss that a real digital twin allows companies to participate and collaborate between silos and disciplines with all of the data, not just discipline-specific. And that all of the data ingested in the digital twin should be accessible within milliseconds.


    - Listen in and hear what the world was like Pre-COVID and what a true future-doer thinks about the industry!

        • Future Proof Construction

          In this episode of the Beyond Buildings Podcast, we talk to Karel Bietje from the construction company Taimana in New Zealand. And with us is also the connectivity Guru, Anthony Veri Jr.

          This is an interesting episode that took place just before COVID19 started for real, and before New Zealand shut down. A lot has happened since but it offers an insight into how a real change-maker thinks and operates in the construction industry.

          • Karel talks about an outdated industry with giants that monopolize the market.
          • On why projects run late and over budget
          • Change requests during the operating phase
          • And the overall need to modernize everything and putting sustainability first.
          • We talk about the need for lifecycle doing, not just thinking, doing more with less, and how to think about buildings as software-enabled entities.

            What do you think?

            Will construction also be run by software companies that happen to do construction?

            Listen in and hear what the world was like Pre-COVID and what a true future-doer thinks about the industry!

                    • A Veri Innovative World

                      In this episode of the beyond buildings podcast we talk to Anthony Veri Jr. 

                      Anthony is a recognized Smart City expert and connectivity guru with a phenomenal understanding of the Smart City context. Anthony helps people figure out what solutions are perfect for them at a given point in time. 

                      We discuss intelligent camera infrastructures, how dumb infrastructure can be turned smart. And we talk about business models, the importance of not talking about technology, asking questions, entrepreneurship, foundations to stand on. 

                      • Do companies have the budgets necessary for innovation efforts to take hold?
                      • What benefits are solutions creating? For whom?
                      • What happens with the phones that aren't 5G ready? 
                      • Do companies have the processes, the people, the hierarchy, the culture, and the systems necessary to capitalize on new technology?
                      • Or will it just be an innovation theatre?
                      • Anthony talks about the need for democratizing data manipulation and innovation and how to succeed in a turbulent environment. Anthony also poses a question that will make everyone rethink how they do business. 

                        This is truly a phenomenal episode about life and business with an amazing person. Listen in and find out why Nicolas loves Anthony so much right now!

                                  In this episode of the Beyond Buildings Podcast we talk to Dr Alireza Ghods and Omid Mogharian From Natix.io.

                                  And with us is also Anthony Veri Jr, who adds his expertise in the Smart City space. 


                                  We talk about their NATIX on the edge platform, and how it can make dumb cameras smart, without replacing existing infrastructure.

                                  Natix.io is up to 85 percent cheaper than traditional approaches, Up to 8 times faster

                                  And due to the fact it's on the edge (doesn't send all data to the vloud) data protection and security is more future proof than ever before.

                                  It's like this bowl of data where the police department, fire department and any other stakeholder can create apps based on a dataset that is shared in the city. This leads to a democratization of smart city innovation.


                                  How can an enabling view of technology speed up the creation of Smart Cities? How can cutting edge technology help in reaching the global goals?


                                  Listen to this amazing episode and find out one piece of the puzzle!
