AI for Construction - Technology Showcase
Wednesday, August 19th 2026
Free Online Webinar
As chipmakers accelerate capacity expansion to meet AI-driven demand, the pressure to deliver complex facilities faster and more efficiently has moved construction into a critical position. Fabs are demanded faster delivery, and the tools available to design, lay out, monitor, and support these facilities are changing rapidly.
This showcase brings together leading technology providers working across the fab delivery chain to explore how innovation in construction and project delivery can support the next wave of fab build-out.
- Basesite applies AI to automate building-services design during the base-build phase.
- Rugged Robotics uses autonomous robots to print coordinated, full-detail layout directly onto the slab.
- Buildots tracks construction progress through computer vision, comparing site reality against the BIM model and schedule.
- Fathom Water pairs process engineering with AI to design and optimize the water systems fabs depend on.
Through this technology showcase and Q&A, we’ll highlight practical applications, early deployment insights, and the technologies shaping faster, smarter semiconductor facility delivery.
