Global Built Environment Summit: Cyber-Physical Infrastructure

Recorded: 30 November 2022

Timing: 14.00 – 16.30 (GMT)

What’s this webinar about?

BSI’s Global Built Environment Summit aims to help the construction sector adopt the transformative new technologies, tools and processes that are now available to the industry. On the afternoon of 30 November, the focus is on cyber-physical infrastructure such as digital twins and smart robotic systems.

This half-day virtual event will explore how such systems, based on our national infrastructure, could help maximize the economic, social, and environmental value we derive from the built environment. You’ll hear the latest news on the national digital twin programme and about project exemplars that already integrate cyber-physical systems, as well as join a discussion on the holistic management of cyber-physical security.

Who should attend the webinar?

• Asset owners (clients)
• Asset operators (landlords, asset managers, facility managers)
• Design professionals (architectural designers, engineers, consultants)
• Construction professionals (contractors, sub-contractors, installers, site managers)
• Specialists (information management, digital professionals and BIM/IM professionals)

What will participants gain?

• An update on the latest developments in the national digital twin programme
• An update on/The results of the BEIS cyber-physical infrastructure consultation
• Examples of cyber-physical systems on construction projects
• A better understanding of security considerations when implementing cyber-physical systems
• The chance to put questions to our experts in advance
• A post-event copy of all presentations and a recording of the webinar
