Digitalisation in Engineering - Part One

Engineers Journal AMPLIFIED

Discover how digitalisation has been woven into the fabrics of business and society, and how Irish engineers have risen to the challenge.

In the first of a three-part series, three engineers at the forefront of their fields explore the acceleration in digital solutions, and how in a world changed by a global pandemic, digitalisation has redefined the way we work forever.

To discuss this we are joined by Jeffrey Roe, Telclic Head of Engineering, Suzanne Roe Managing Director, Consultant Medical Devices at Triskele Consulting Limited and Veronica Mariti Sesoko, previous with Dublin City Council and currently Operations Senior Analyst Accenture

• How 3D Models have rapidly sped up the planning process (05.49)
• The process of changing from a paper system to a fully digitalised system (09.38)

QUOTES

Many different tools and technologies are coming up to improve our city. They help with how we can run more efficiently, how we can better engage with our citizens, how to have better decision-making based on data and being transparent with people.
Veronica Sesoko

We only had a small team on the ground so we leveraged a lot of digital technologies. That allowed our engineers to remotely monitor the equipment and set up all the processes. Video calling was another tool that allowed us to do a project that's so far away.
Jeffrey Roe

If they'd had some kind of heart arrhythmia, and the device had to kick in and treat it, that action could get uploaded to their doctor's clinic and the doctor could actually review the event remotely.
