What was once the story found in science fiction novels has increasingly taken the world by storm. Everything from the ads you see online to advancing car technology is driven by artificial intelligence. In this episode of Infinite IoT, host Mat Ackley spoke with Lumenci CEO Harish Daiya to discuss the evolution of AI industrial deployment and more.

Daiya grew up in India with a passion for math. Eventually, he graduated with an Engineering degree in Computer Science and after several years of early work, moved to the US where he worked in a variety of businesses before co-founding Lumenci.

A serial entrepreneur and blogger with a passion for innovation, 12+ years of experience in technical consulting for IP litigation and licensing, and a recently accepted member of the prestigious Forbes Business Council, Daiya’s expert insights into AI deployment are fascinating for anyone interested in AI regardless of their existing knowledge.

With companies continuously looking for ways to reduce costs and increase profitability, vertical AI solutions provide start-ups with the opportunity “to build these vertical AI companies with a specific business use case in mind,” said Daiya. Vertical AI solutions can be based on Horizontal AI solutions while also being designed to target specific business challenges.

But to begin, Daiya provides a brief history of how AI came to be. “If we look back at the evolution of AI, AI actually evolved in the largest tech companies – Google, Microsoft, IBMs of the world – because they had a lot of data at their disposal and also good resources to use that data for specific use cases and business problems.”

Google Brain is an example of a horizontal, general-purpose AI solution that can be used by any company. And with the horizontal solutions, most of the research has been done so the larger organizations are building on what already exists. And with that, “there is also now room for start-ups to build these vertical AI companies with a specific business use case in mind” and that’s where Lumenci comes into play.

Listen in to learn more about the challenges of AI industrial deployment and how Lumenci helps companies define, develop, and deploy AI solutions for any industry, to address any challenge.

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock's 3D scaffold model replaced 1,400+ standby hours with <25

Brock Group executives Enrique Zavala and Brent Roscoe argue scaffolding belongs in the BIM model from the start of an industrial project. BIC Magazine reports one Brock 3D model replaced more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours with under 25 hours of rework. Peer-reviewed studies support BIM-based planning and forecasting, while noting scaffold modeling and laser scanning still demand specialized skills.

  • 01On one three-month project, BIC Magazine reports, a Brock 3D scaffold model left one minor field change and under 25 labor hours of rework against more than 1,400 budgeted standby hours.
  • 02A 2017 IAARC paper found scaffolding is usually left out of the BIM model, and a June 2024 MDPI case study found scan-to-BIM needs specialized equipment and skills, so the gains are not automatic.

CivDot robots shift surveyors to control and spot checks

CivDot robots shift surveyors to control and spot checks

On robotic layout jobs, the surveyor's work shifts to setting control and spot-checking the machine's marks.

  • 01On robotic layout jobs, the surveyor keeps the control network and the spot checks, the two tasks that decide whether thousands of machine-set marks are right.
  • 02Autonomy is furthest along where work is risky or expensive for people: offshore, underground and on utility-scale solar layout. Routine low-risk jobs are adopting it more slowly.

Snaptrude says its new AI agent builds LoD 400 BIM models in minutes

Snaptrude says its new AI agent builds LoD 400 BIM models in minutes

Snaptrude says its AI agent, Snaptrude Agent, can convert massing models into detailed LoD 400 BIM models in minutes. Users review the plan the agent proposes, then approve it or give further direction.

  • 01If Snaptrude's speed claim holds up, checking could become the slow part of a BIM job.
  • 02When agents add components to a shared team library automatically, library governance becomes a design-technology job. Firms on Organization or Enterprise plans should decide who approves those components before rollout.
