Capital planning and construction management software company Aurigo Software has launched an artificial intelligence platform called Aurigo Lumina. The platform promises to improve how users retrieve, collate, and make decisions regarding critical capital program data.
The Lumina platform launches with two major applications, Lumina GPT and Lumina Analytics. They provide nuanced insights, ensure predictability, and improve overall productivity.
Aurigo says the natural complexity of large infrastructure and facility projects, coupled with the proliferation of modern cloud and mobile tools geared toward capital owners, has led to an increase in siloed data and the fragmentation of critical files and documents across multiple systems.
Despite the use of project management tools, locating and validating information remains challenging. Additionally, insufficient monitoring often results in inaccurate budget and schedule estimates that cause unexpected overruns.
Lumina will drive scalable benefits to customers working with Aurigo’s existing products, including the company’s flagship capital program management suite, Masterworks.
Lumina GPT utilizes generative AI and natural language processing to streamline data and document searches, providing teams with quick and secure access to essential project resources, which enhances project execution. The core features of the product include:
-
Natural language search: Enables intuitive exploration of files and records;
-
Generative AI: Refines and summarizes search results; and
-
Critical insights: Highlights key information across multiple documents.
-
Data monitoring: Uses AI to uncover inaccuracies in budgets and schedules;
-
Risk analysis: Tracks potential timeline variances and budget overruns; and
-
Actionable suggestions: Recommends strategies to mitigate, if not wholly eliminate, errors.
Aurigo plans to expand the Lumina platform with additional AI-powered products in 2025 and beyond. Advanced risk management capabilities that focus on real-time risk scoring and trend analysis across an entire capital project portfolio will be available by mid-year.
With the AI market in construction expected to reach USD4.51 billion by 2026, these advancements align with industry trends and the increasing demand for modern technologies in the public sector.
Aurigo’s customers include some of the largest infrastructure and facility owners in North America, including federal agencies, departments of transportation, water authorities, and private owners.
