A PODCAST HOSTED BY SYMETRI
Smarter Building Podcast Ep.22 - Advancing Safety through Digital Twins
In this special series of the Smarter Building podcast, hosts Nicole & Richard sat down with a few of the fantastic line up of guest speakers live from Symetri's Nordic BIM Summit in Stockholm, Sweden. In the fourth episode of this series, we chat with Jochen Teizer, a professor of Construction Technologies and Director of Construction Automation at the Technology University of Denmark.
Jochen Teizer shares his journey into the world of construction safety, inspired by a life changing moment that shaped his career. He dives into the role of digital twins in revolutionising the industry, including how they enable real-time monitoring and risk prevention. Additionally, Jochen explores the benefits of using virtual reality (VR) and gamification in construction safety training. He offers practical examples of how these tools can make training more engaging and effective, boosting efficiency and project outcomes.
Tune into this episode to hear actionable advice for organisations looking to successfully implement these technologies. Jochen's insights are invaluable for advancing safety, efficiency, and overall performance in the construction industry.
