What an amazing achievement for Buildots to announce a funding round led by Intel Capital that could boost Intel's manufacturing prospects. The company recently launched a new AI-powered “delay forecast” feature that predicts when delays might occur to help project managers take preemptive action. This is another brilliant example of how #AI can disrupt traditional industries and improve efficiency. Way to go Roy Danon, Aviv Leibovici, Yakir Sudry #digital twin #constructionsites #Growth
