C O M P A N Y
A real-life example of how ATENEA helped the largest pharmacy conglomerate in Latin America.
With more than 2,000 branches and rapidly expanding, with two new branches per day.
Going from manually generating floor plans for each new branch in 30 days to just 3 days with a single click.
We visited their offices to evaluate their architectural process, which was manual and hierarchical, taking about a month per branch plan, using AutoCAD.
Problem.
We've streamlined the workflow to just two steps thanks to our Atenea AI. Now, all you need to do is select the site and wait for the new branch's plans to be automatically generated. Here's the flow:
In Revit, with our Atenea plugin, simply select an Excel file with the site coordinates, eliminating the need to work with CAD files.
Result.
*Excel with coordinates of the land perimeter.
Athena, our artificial intelligence with a "Context" core, has comprehensive knowledge of existing branches and company regulations and automatically determines the most appropriate branch type for each location.
Then, our "Model" core models the terrain and generates the structure of the exterior walls, establishing the basis for project development.
The "Layout" core handles zoning, organizing interior spaces according to the geometry of the terrain and distributing furniture in accordance with company regulations and local regulations. It also defines the location of key areas such as parking, the store, and the warehouse, ensuring an efficient and functional layout.
*Result of the "Distribution" core, with the distribution of areas in a branch, plan view of the branch.
*Result of internal distributions, in a small branch, with variations in the perimeter of the land.
Once the 2D plan is generated, our "Model" core transforms it into a 3D model, automatically selecting the optimal typology, whether in mass or highly detailed, allowing for subsequent export to precise architectural drawings.
The system enables automatic plan extraction, facade generation, and real-time cost calculations.
Finally, our "Visual" core, trained on the company's database of materials, optimizes the selection of combinations based on cost parameters, applies the materials in Revit, and generates renderings with the corresponding budget estimate.
*2D furniture plan on the left, and 3D furniture plan on the right, with one click.
*2D furniture plan to 3D furniture plan, with facade and exteriors with one click.
Impact
Thanks to this integration of ATENEA, our artificial intelligence, we've managed to transform a process that previously took months into a solution that, with a single click, converts an Excel spreadsheet with terrain data into a complete model with plans, renderings, and costs in a matter of minutes.
By integrating AI, we reduced costs from USD $400 to USD $50 per project and timelines from 30 days to 3, making it scalable for any company (construction, retail, logistics), optimizing resources and operational speed.
