Transforming the Glazing Supply Chain with AI and VR Innovations
Thursday 6th March 2025 – 12.30pm – 1.30pm
This presentation will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies are revolutionising processes across the glazing supply chain, from flat glass manufacturing and aluminium extrusion to system design, fabrication, and installation.
Central to the discussion is SMART-SAM (3D Segmentation, Meshing, and Region Treatment using the Segment Anything Model), an advanced AI tool designed to optimise 3D modelling and segmentation. Attendees will learn how SMART-SAM can tackle key challenges in glazing, such as improving design precision, enhancing on-site safety, and reducing project timelines.
The session will highlight real-world applications relevant to all sectors of the supply chain, including:
- Streamlining curtain walling and façade design.
- Integrating with Building Information Modelling (BIM) for enhanced project coordination.
- Leveraging VR for installation planning and training
- Quality assurance through AI-enhanced inspection processes.
This presentation will provide valuable insights for professionals seeking to embrace innovation and enhance efficiency throughout the glazing supply chain.
