FutureTech is Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) annual conference for business and IT leaders in architecture, engineering and construction to explore emerging technologies that can enhance construction productivity, profits and safety. Through a series of thought-provoking and interactive sessions, conference participants take away the latest knowledge of what technologies work best, what doesn’t work and what’s coming next for the future of the construction industry. Moderated by Jeff Rubenstone, ENR’s senior editor, technology and equipment, the Digital Last Planner session will give attendees an opportunity to see firsthand how Nialli Visual Planner can avoid costly delays and keep projects on track. This year’s conference takes place online from October 13 to 16, 2020.

“We are very grateful to PCL Construction for the insights and feedback they provided to help us digitally transform the paper-based processes used in lean construction,” said Nancy Knowlton, Nialli’s CEO. “We are excited that PCL will share their experiences with Nialli Visual Planner with attendees of FutureTech and look forward to continuing our collaborative engagement.”

About Nialli Visual Planner

Nialli Visual Planner is a cloud-based application modeled after the widely used Last Planner System®, a production control process for lean construction that follows principles such as just-in-time delivery, value stream mapping and pull planning. Nialli Visual Planner can be used by all project stakeholders on any device and from any location, providing the flexibility of having any combination of colocated and remote participants during planning sessions. The solution can also be used on large interactive surfaces such as the Nureva® Wall, to replicate the paper-based big wall experience with which many construction teams are familiar. By making the process digital, Nialli Visual Planner increases visibility into team progress, and the status of a single task or activity can be updated on the spot, with all data being captured for post-analysis. This saves time and eliminates waste compared to paper-based processes. For more information, visit Nialli Visual Planner on Nialli’s website.
