iFLYTEK Launches AI+ Auto Design Product, Ushering in a New Era of Architectural Design

The 21st China International Exposition of Housing Industry & Products and Equipments of Building Industrialization was held in Beijing. During the expo, iFLYTEK officially released the industry’s first AI+ Auto Design product, attracting hundreds of design experts and representatives from architectural units.

“Generate design results in the time it takes to play a game”, "Streamline the standard process library while expanding the all-discipline component library”, “Leverage AI's three-stage rocket approach to drive real-world application scenarios.”... At the event, Tian Fuhai, General Manager of iFLYTEK's Construction Technology Business, delivered a captivating presentation. He applied vivid metaphors to illustrate the practical application value of the AI+ Auto Design product across the design, construction and operations phases, and showed the transformative potential of AI in propelling the digital transformation and upgrading of the construction industry.

SPARK Large Model

Empowers Industry's First AI+ Auto Design Assistant

Design is a fusion of intelligent thinking and standardized construction. Construction drawing design serves as the central hub for data exchange in the building industry. The newly launched AI+ Auto Design product harnesses the power of large model algorithms and data fusion process reengineering to cover all disciplines and multiple scenarios, ultimately integrating over 360 automatic design functions. This empowers the product to automatically generate 3D models and 2D drawings with a single click.

AI+ Auto Design seamlessly integrates 3D design as the primary interface, enabling the synchronized expansion of construction drawings across all disciplines. Encompassing over 80 design scenarios in five professional fields – architecture, structure, plumbing and drainage, HAVC, electrical and general – AI+ Auto Design revolutionizes the traditional 2D CAD production environment, enabling a fully integrated 2D/3D design workflow. The full-process 3D design interface facilitates one-click generation and precise adjustments of complex and labor-intensive construction drawings that demand close inter-disciplinary collaboration. This streamlined approach optimizes project data flow, streamlines upstream and downstream cost control, enhances design value, and elevates the overall customer experience.

Large models empower enterprises’ internal standardization initiatives. On June 27, iFLYTEK officially released the SPARK Large Model V4.0, marking a significant leap in text generation, language understanding and overall capabilities. Leveraging the versatility of the SPARK Large Model and trained on a massive dataset of design data, AI+ Auto Design now integrates the latest version of the construction drawing design large model. This enhancement not only empowers designers to overcome limitations imposed by project experience and professional background, enabling them to quickly grasp a comprehensive understanding of various design specifications, but also facilitates the seamless completion of standardized design tasks through natural language interaction.

According to Tian Fuhai, the traditional manual design of a typical 50,000-square-meter underground parking lot can take 5-10 days. However, with the AI+ Auto Design product’s assistance, the design of an underground parking lot on the same scale can be completed in just 6 hours, representing an efficiency improvement of 85-93%. In terms of design quality, the traditional single-vehicle parking space index is 35.0 square meters per parking space, while the AI+ Auto Design can achieve a design result of 31.7 square meters per parking space, a reduction of nearly 10%.

Data Recycling

 "Full-discipline Human-Machine Collaborative Production Mode"

With drawings in hand, how can designers become "magical painters"? AI+ Auto Design introduces a groundbreaking data-driven full-discipline human-machine collaborative production mode. Through a highly standardized and intelligent workflow, it optimizes resource allocation, promotes collaboration among teams and achieves the production goals of fast generation, multiple options, higher precision and superior quality, enabling the high-quality completion of construction drawing project production tasks.

"The virtuous cycle of data applications, with the end in mind and each stage supporting the next, is a key highlight of this mode," stated Tian Fuhai. "By establishing scenario applications such as a globally synchronized project database, a standardized process database, a model template library, a component library, and a construction drawing design large model, we break down data barriers between software applications, ultimately achieving a seamless data flow and collaborative synergy throughout crucial project production phases."

Automatic data import empowers collaborative management. AI+ Auto Design streamlines the project initiation and task planning phases by enabling the real-time parsing of text files and automatic checking of parameter indicators. This eliminates the need for manual intervention in repetitive and time-consuming analysis tasks, allowing project initiation and task planning to be completed with simple combinations.

Model-driven organizational collaboration and a ready-to-use component library. The product establishes a model template library for engineering files, facilitating template management and model collaboration. For human-machine collaborative production, it provides over 2,000 components, promoting the application of automatic design assistants. This, in turn, injects data vitality into the intelligent empowerment of the construction phase, forming a full-chain, full-cycle human-machine task "co-creation".

AI+ Auto Design has already demonstrated its powerful capabilities in multiple real-world projects, receiving universal acclaim. Moving forward, iFLYTEK will continue to probe the field of intelligent construction, empowering the entire building lifecycle with technological innovation, cultivating new quality productivity and continuously promoting the construction industry’s high-quality development.
