The Big Three
Procore and NVIDIA turbocharge construction digital twins
Procore has deepened its collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance its digital twin technology for the construction industry. These advanced digital twins leverage NVIDIA's Omniverse libraries to integrate 3D models with procurement data and real-time imagery, aiming to minimize risks in large-scale projects. This partnership signifies a major leap in construction technology, guiding the industry toward more precise and predictive project management.
The B2B angle: Companies in the construction sector should consider evaluating digital twin capabilities to enhance project efficiency and reduce risks.
AI-ready supply chain teams achieve 71% success rate
According to a survey by ASCM and DSCI, supply chain teams with staff trained in AI are achieving a 71% success rate in AI projects, compared to just 28% for others. However, only 17% of supply chain teams currently consider their staff AI-ready. The findings highlight a significant gap in the workforce's readiness to fully leverage AI in supply chain operations.
The B2B angle: Supply chain leaders should prioritize AI training and development to close the skill gap and enhance project success.
Danone turns yogurt waste into biogas for sustainability boost
Danone has begun converting yogurt production waste into biogas at PurposeEnergy's facility in Ohio, significantly cutting disposal costs while supporting sustainability efforts. This initiative illustrates how major food brands are integrating environmentally friendly practices into their operations, showcasing a model of efficiency and cost-effectiveness in waste management.
The B2B angle: Sustainability officers in food manufacturing should assess similar waste conversion technologies to align with eco-friendly goals while reducing costs.

Teach me something: Digital Twin
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object or system, used to simulate and analyze performance, and improve efficiencies. In industries like construction, digital twins integrate real-world data with 3D models to predict outcomes and optimize processes. By visualizing the entire lifecycle of a project or system, businesses can anticipate issues and enhance their operational strategies.
