Construction sites should get a better understanding of asset location and project process through an integration of Danalto software with Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Irish software-as-a-service (SaaS) company Danalto has announced an integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, a portfolio of software and services that combines technology, builders’ network and predictive insights for construction teams.

Users can embed Danalto’s Cardinal platform directly into their Autodesk Build Insight or BIM 360 Project Home dashboards for seamless location tracking of project assets. With this integration, users will be able to locate items in real time, analyse location histories and patterns, and optimise operations accordingly to keep projects on schedule, on time and on budget.

Danalto helps organisations globally across sectors such as oil, gas, mining, construction, energy and beyond by enabling positioning intelligence in diverse and previously unserviceable environments, whether indoor or out. As a radio-agnostic platform, Cardinal ingests data from best-of-breed positioning technologies, meaning multiple radios can be used to provide location in a single data set, depending on the use case.

“Location data are a great untapped resource with the potential to drastically impact business operations across every industry for the better,” said Danalto CEO David McDonald. “Utilising best-of-breed radio capabilities with Cardinal has far expanded the reach of positioning intelligence and Danalto is excited to bring this capability to the Autodesk platform.”

James Cook, director at Autodesk Construction, added: “Construction complexity continues to increase and keeping track of assets on a jobsite can be challenging. Embedding Danalto’s Cardinal within Autodesk Construction Cloud means asset tracking information can now live in the same interface where builders access the full range of their construction data.”

Cardinal can be embedded directly in Autodesk Build Insight or BIM 360 Project Home dashboards. Danalto has been picking up momentum in 2023 and is excited to have Autodesk as one of several new partnerships.

Danalto is a SaaS company based in Dublin, Ireland, which specialises in positioning intelligence. Working with radio technologies including LoRa 2.4GHz, UWB, wifi, Bluetooth LE, RFID and GNSS, its FiLo positioning engine provides precise location data across various use case environments, both indoors and out. Danalto also enables seamless data management and control through the Cardinal front-end platform, helping users eliminate blind spots and optimise their business operations.
