On 07.03.2024, researchers Irfan Čustović, Ishaan Kaushal and Andrea Revolti met in the Smart Mini Factory lab at the Free University of Bolzano. The meeting targeted to jointly discuss potential sensors to be installed in a physical factory prototype, ensuring its efficiency and accuracy. Additionally, the in-person meeting was a great opportunity to review the alignment of the developments of our digital twin platform on Unity, simultaneously considering the objectives of work packages 1, 2, and 3.

On September 4th & 5th, 2023, Bolzano, Italy played host to a workshop that brought together a diverse group of interdisciplinary researchers, including civil engineers, architects, computer scientists, and industrial engineers. The primary focus of this gathering was the Smart Mobile Factory for Infrastructure (SMF4INFRA) Project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing infrastructure construction.

During the 2023 European Conference on Computing in Construction (EC3) in Greece, Irfan Čustović gave a presentation on his recent paper titled “Towards integrated digital twins for construction and manufacturing" that was co-authored by Ranjith Soman, Pieter Pauwels and Daniel Hall.
