London, UK - 29 April 2024: J-Wadel Solutions Ltd, in collaboration with industry leaders and academic institutions, is thrilled to announce the commencement of our Augmented Reality Virtual Assistant (ARVAST) project, co-funded by Innovate UK. This visionary project aims to revolutionize construction methodologies through the integration of advanced technologies.
The ARVAST project harnesses the potential of augmented reality (AR), alongside cutting-edge advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), to address critical inefficiencies in modern methods of construction (MMC). This innovative solution is designed to significantly enhance quality and productivity by minimizing the need for repetitive training and reducing assembly errors.
Key Benefits of ARVAST:
- Enhanced Construction Quality: ARVAST aims to drastically reduce errors and rework by providing real-time, holographic instructional overlays via AR glasses.
- Increased Productivity: The ARVAST technology reduces the time spent on training and re-training labor forces, facilitating quicker project turnarounds.
- Sustainable Practices: With a significant reduction in material wastage and improved operational efficiency, ARVAST contributes to environmentally sustainable construction practices.
J-Wadel Solutions Ltd is spearheading the software development aspect of ARVAST, leveraging extensive experience in software engineering. The firm is central to the development and deployment of the cloud infrastructure, front-end applications, the AR system, and the integrated AI.
ARVAST Project Partners
The development of ARVAST will be a collaborative effort with prominent entities including White Frog Publishing Limited, Galliford Try Construction Limited, the University of Hertfordshire, Global Methods of Construction UK Limited, and Leeds Beckett University. Each partner brings specialized expertise essential for the multidisciplinary approach required to develop and implement the ARVAST technology effectively.
White Frog Publishing Limited will manage and contribute their expertise in educational strategy to the ARVAST project, focusing on developing training materials and consultancy to ensure that ARVAST aligns with current industry standards and practices.
Galliford Try Construction Limited will provide real-world testing environments for ARVAST, ensuring the technology meets the practical demands of the construction industry. Their input is crucial in industry engagement, system commercialization, and dissemination of project findings.
University of Hertfordshire will apply advanced knowledge in Big Data Analytics and AI algorithms to the ARVAST project, leading the development of the research framework. Their role is pivotal in creating and deploying predictive models and analytical platforms.
Global Methods of Construction UK Limited will contribute their experience in sustainability and MMC, providing real-life MMC sites for the testing and refinement of ARVAST tools. Their participation ensures that the project benefits from industry-specific requirements and insights.
Leeds Beckett University will focus on validating the ARVAST system. Their support in academic activities ensures the technological effectiveness of AR in construction through thorough scientific assessment and evaluation.
Mr. Johnson Oluwadele, Chief Technology Officer, J-Wadel Solutions Ltd remarked, "The ARVAST project is not just a technological leap but a necessary evolution towards smarter construction methodologies. Our collaboration with leading industry and academic partners is key to realizing the vast benefits this technology promises." He further stated, "The outcomes of the ARVAST initiative are expected to set new benchmarks in the construction sector and highlight the transformative potential of integrating AR with construction processes."
