Autodesk and Esri Partnering to Advance Infrastructure Planning and Design

LAS VEGAS, November 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Autodesk, Inc. and Esri, Inc. have officially announced the launch of a groundbreaking partnership aimed at bridging the gap between Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping technologies. This collaboration between Autodesk and Esri is designed to empower a wide array of industries to enhance their decision-making processes by visualizing data related to the built environment, ecosystems, communities, and the intricate networks that connect them. ![Autodesk and Esri announce the beginning of a strategic alliance to unite BIM and GIS mapping capabilities.](http://bsg-i.nbxc.com/blog/29e18b2b032dac29659ff2f157b1190d.jpg) "Considering the needs of future generations should be a priority when planning and constructing projects today," stated Jack Dangermond, President of Esri. "By joining forces with Autodesk, we aim to ensure sustainable resource management for a growing population, minimize humanity's environmental impact, optimize the use of Earth's resources, and create more resilient urban environments." For infrastructure owners globally—whether public or private—the seamless integration of BIM and GIS mapping tools will significantly enhance their capacity to plan, design, construct, and maintain infrastructure assets more efficiently, saving valuable time and financial resources. Strengthening the compatibility between Esri and Autodesk software holds the potential to drastically reduce workflow durations. "Our collaboration with Esri seeks to harness the combined strengths of BIM and GIS technologies, empowering our mutual clients to build anything, anywhere," said Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk. "We want to equip urban planners and architects with the ability to design in alignment with real-world conditions. This initiative will help communities develop more interconnected, adaptable cities and infrastructures with a strong focus on sustainability." Autodesk and Esri intend to collaborate closely to further integrate their respective technologies, enabling professionals across various fields to synthesize insights from both BIM and GIS data. Anticipated benefits include unprecedented reductions in approval processes through enhanced stakeholder engagement, more environmentally conscious and resilient designs via improved project insights, and diminished risks during construction phases due to better material flow, resource availability, and scheduling management. "I am delighted to hear about the strategic partnership between Autodesk and Esri," remarked John Kizior, Global Director of Project Technologies. "At AECOM, innovation is highly valued, and I believe this new alliance will generate dynamic synergies among software platforms. Together, these technologies could offer novel methods of linking information throughout the project lifecycle, providing significant advantages to our clients." With the global population projected to increase by 2.5 billion over the next three decades—70% of whom will live in urban centers—there is immense pressure on existing infrastructure resources. Addressing this challenge requires the public and private sectors to streamline every aspect of transportation and infrastructure development. Enhancing the interoperability of Esri and Autodesk software represents a pivotal step toward reshaping how we construct our future. It lays the groundwork for creating a world where anything can be made, anywhere—powered by The Science of Where. This vision was unveiled by Andrew Anagnost and Jack Dangermond at Autodesk's annual flagship conference, Autodesk University, held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Liquid-gas HTF 181

ARMCOLTHERM 181 -75℃~315(L)/181℃~315℃(G)
ARMCOLTHERM can be used in the liquid phase down to -75℃ and up to 315℃. In the vapor phase, the working range is from 181℃ to 315℃. This fluid is exceptional for the most demanding single fluid batch heating and cooling applications.
ARMCOLTHERM 181 exhibits exceptional thermal stability in both the liquid and vapor phases. ARMCOLTHERM 181 Heat Transfer Fluid offers exceptional low temperature pumpability as well as excellent thermal stability; this provides protection against accidental overheating.
ARMCOLTHERM 181 heat transfer fluid has an extremely low crystal point that can completely eliminate the need for steam heating (although vent lines may still need freeze protection). ARMCOLTHERM 181 exhibits great heat transfer properties, even at very low temperatures, with a viscosity of approximately 11 cps at -75℃. ARMCOLTHERM 181 heat transfer fluid can also be used in the vapor phase.
Batch processing with ARMCOLTHERM 181 heat transfer fluid eliminates system purge requirements that can be associated with steam and brine and steam and glycol systems. ARMCOLTHERM 181 heat transfer fluid is non-corrosive to metals and alloys commonly used in heat transfer systems, providing peace of mind regarding compatibility.
This product is intended for use in a pressurized, closed system with nitrogen blanket and an expansion vessel.
