Webinar: From Bid to Erection: Applying AI, Automation, and IoT Across the Precast Lifecycle
Date: September 2, 2026 | Wednesday 
2 PM EST (25 mins + 10 mins Q&A)
US precast manufacturers are working under a consistent set of constraints: compressed bid timelines, a shrinking pool of experienced engineers and drafters, higher quality expectations, and owners requiring BIM deliverables on shorter schedules. At the same time, AI-assisted configurators, design automation, IoT-enabled fabrication, and vision-based inspection have moved from concept to deployable tools. For most precasters, the open question is not whether to digitalize, but where to start and how to do it without disrupting production.
In this webinar, Neilsoft — a partner to the US precast industry for over 20 years across parking structures, stadiums, schools, hospitals, data centers, and infrastructure — presents a lifecycle-based roadmap for digital transformation built specifically for precast operations.
We will walk through use-cases across the full precast value chain: AI-assisted sales configurators that convert concepts into piece counts and estimates in hours; design configurators that auto-generate layouts, shop tickets, and erection drawings on your existing CAD/BIM platform; automated design and drawing quality checks; IoT and sensor-based monitoring of beds, curing, and production flow; digital storage and yard management; and vision-based inspection of finished elements. For each, we will cover what implementation actually requires — effort, ROI, and common pitfalls — and how precasters of any size can start small and scale.
Whether you run a single plant or a multi-plant operation, you will leave with a framework for prioritizing technology investments and a clear picture of what a connected, data-driven precast business looks like. A live Q&A with Neilsoft's precast domain and software experts follows.
