Recently, AKALM and HK-AITRI conducted technical exchanges, and the two sides had in-depth discussions on topics such as deepening product design, system integration optimization, and intelligent upgrading of the entire engineering process empowered by artificial intelligence. The aim is to promote the deep integration of AI technology with fields such as electromechanical engineering, prefabricated brackets, antibacterial ducts, anchoring and reinforcement systems, and help the industry achieve faster, better, more cost-effective, and more efficient results. This exchange is another concrete practice of HK-AITRI's mission of "empowering the real economy with AI and driving sustainable development with technology".
About AKALM

It is a young and specialized manufacturer of mechanical and electrical installation auxiliary materials in Europe, specializing in anchoring systems. Its products are exported to more than 30 important countries and markets around the world. Ankomei focuses on the market of building electromechanical installation auxiliary materials. Through digital and technology driven service transformation, Ankomei provides customers with cost reducing and efficient products and services, enabling safe, scientific, and efficient installation. With digital empowerment, Ankomei improves customer satisfaction and intimacy, and allows customers to enjoy Ankomei's installation system. This is Ankomei's consistent mission.
1、 Build a customer-centric intelligent service system throughout the entire process
During the communication, AKALM showcased its "customer-centric process" system, covering the entire lifecycle of design, construction, and operation. In the design phase, relying on CAD drawings, Revit models, engineering calculations, and material lists, to achieve drawing acquisition, organization and analysis, and artificial intelligence software design; In the business phase, complete scheme confirmation, quotation confirmation, contract confirmation, and order submission; In the logistics stage, achieve processing and production drawings, order tracking, cutting, packaging, and pre assembly; Provide installation guidance, design changes, and reorder support during the installation phase; During the documentation phase, complete process tracking, maintenance support, installation checks, and file archiving. Through the full process collaboration of EPC, Ankomei provides systematic overall solutions for owners, architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and operators, helping customers solve pain points and ensuring efficient workflow.
2、 AI driven design support, consolidating the foundation of engineering safety and regulations
AKALM relies on big data and AI to design the FQ system, which thoroughly achieves faster, more cost-effective, and increased efficiency. Among them, F represents Fast installation and Fixing; Q stands for Quick Installation and Quality. This system runs through all aspects of design support: in terms of pipeline optimization, with brackets as the core, it provides support for bracket layout, detailed design, BIM modeling, and on-site installation; In terms of duct disassembly calculation, with duct as the core, achieve drawing deepening and duct disassembly calculation; In terms of selection calculation, anchor bolts are taken as the core to complete the verification of tensile and shear compliance under tension, shear, steel failure, concrete failure and other working conditions, and select the most unfavorable combination of tensile and shear resistance; In terms of reinforcement selection calculation, reinforcement is the core, covering schemes such as beam bending reinforcement, beam shear reinforcement, embedded constraint reinforcement, bridge deck bottom reinforcement, carbon fiber cloth reinforcement, and bonded steel reinforcement.
In terms of regulatory basis, Ankomei strictly follows national standards and industry specifications related to prefabricated supports, antibacterial duct systems, anchoring systems, and reinforcement systems, including the "Code for Load of Building Structures" GB50009-2001, "Technical Specification for Application of Prefabricated Support and Hanger Systems" T/CECS 731-2020, "Code for Quality Acceptance of Ventilation and Air Conditioning Engineering" GB50234-2002, "Technical Specification for Rear Anchoring of Concrete Structures" JGJ145-2013, "Design Standard for Steel Structure Reinforcement" GB 51367-2019, etc., to ensure that the engineering design is based on evidence and safe and reliable.
3、 Systematic overall solution to ensure efficient workflow
AKALM provides a comprehensive and systematic solution that covers Engineering Services, MEP Systems, and Logistics Services. Technical services include on-site guidance, construction support, and process optimization; The overall system covers the integration of MEP electromechanical systems, prefabricated brackets, and antibacterial duct systems; Logistics services cover packaging payment management, plan tracking, cutting and packaging pre assembly, and order tracking, ensuring efficient collaboration throughout the entire process from design to operation and maintenance.
4、 Jointly discuss AI empowerment and promote product design and upgrading
HK-AITRI highly values AKALM's exploration in the field of AI+engineering. Both parties agree that artificial intelligence technology has broad application prospects in engineering design, calculation verification, BIM modeling, construction simulation, and operation and maintenance management. Empowering product design with AI can further improve design efficiency, optimize material selection, reduce engineering costs, and ensure construction safety.
Both parties expressed that they will take this exchange as an opportunity to further explore cooperation space in AI assisted design, intelligent computing verification, engineering big data analysis, and full process digital management, and jointly promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and engineering technology, contributing to the high-quality development of the industry.
