On Tuesday, 29th of October 2019, the launch event of the Tunnel Digitalization Center took place in the SCAUT Corner at Hagerbach Test Gallery with about 40 selected guests from the construction industry. The project is a joint initiative by SCAUT, Amberg Engineering, Siemens Switzerland, Elkuch Group and HBI Haerter.
After an introductory presentation on digitalisation and the offered opportunities for the construction industry, SCAUT's Managing Director Klaus Wachter presented the project Tunnel Digitalization Center as well as the involved industry partners. The second part happened in the gallery at the SCAUT Corner, where the partner representatives presented common use cases and demonstrated the interaction with the real tunnel environment. At the concluding apero, the newly gained impressions and presented applications were discussed in a relaxed atmosphere and new contacts were made.
The Tunnel Digitalization Center (TDC) offers the unique opportunity to experience the interaction and the transformation from real to digital in a real tunnel environment. New technologies and innovative concepts can be demonstrated live at a 1: 1 scale, leading to a better understanding of complex operations and processes.
