Brendan Duda liked thisBrendan Duda liked thisTo decrease greenhouse gas emissions and minimize landfill waste, we helped the City of Roseville, CA see the LongView™. 🔭 In partnership with the City, we designed an innovative renewable biofuel production facility. This waste-to-energy plant produces electricity, onsite heat, and renewable natural gas that fuels the City’s solid waste truck fleet, diverting up to 12,000 tons of high-strength organic waste per year from landfill. This groundbreaking project mitigates climate change impacts and safeguards the interest of ratepayers by stabilizing fuel costs for the fleet. 🔗 Read more about how we're making the most of Roseville's resources and paving the way to a climate-resilient future: https://lnkd.in/gs-c2FeA 🌎 Learn more about BC:LongView™—confident solutions for our changing world: https://lnkd.in/g5aX6tw5 #LongView #ClimateMitigation #RenewableEnergy #WasteToEnergy #SustainableInfrastructure

Brendan Duda reacted on thisBrendan Duda reacted on thisLife is full of new adventures! 4 months ago…I left bp / bp pulse, a company where I spent over 5 years growing, building my career foundation, and finding my way to the EV industry. It was hard to close such an impactful chapter, but I left incredibly grateful for the experiences I had and the amazing mentors, colleagues, and friends I met along the way. 3 months ago…I started my new role as Program Manager, Charging at Rivian where I’m focused on growing the footprint of our public charging business, the Rivian Adventure Network. I’m thrilled to have joined such a passionate and mission-oriented team that is setting standards for reliability and customer experience in the EV industry. 2 months ago…I leased Rivian’s R1S. I’m obsessed with the car and gaining lots of new insights as a true consumer of the industry I work in. 1 month ago…my fiancée and I moved to San Francisco for our new jobs in the Bay Area. While Chicago will always feel like home, we’re loving being outdoors in the warmer weather and eating all our local citrus! Now…I’m settling in to all the change and finally have the spare time to write this (very delayed) post. Big thanks to everyone who was a part of this journey — consider this an open invite to reach out if you’re ever in the Bay Area!

Brendan Duda reacted on thisBrendan Duda reacted on thisToday I am sharing that I am leaving Bentley after a journey that has been both professionally rewarding and personally transformative. This journey began as CEO of Agency9, where I led the company to its acquisition by Bentley in 2018 — a milestone that extended digital twin use cases and easy consumption of 3D to a truly global audience and new industries. What followed were years of accelerated transition in infrastructure sector, and the opportunity to work with outstanding people across every region — colleagues, customers, and partners whose ambition and trust made international projects across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific genuinely exciting to be part of. The industry we operate in stands at a defining moment. Digital transformation and AI are fundamentally changing how infrastructure is planned, built, and operated — unlocking levels of efficiency and intelligence that were unimaginable just a few years ago. I leave with full confidence that the best is still ahead for this sector and for Bentley as a continued market leader within it. Looking ahead, I will be staying selectively active in the industry in advisory engagements with technology companies and board positions where experience in digital transformation, SaaS, and infrastructure technology can add real value. To everyone who has been part of this chapter — thank you. It has been a privilege. Wishing you all continued success in the exciting road ahead.

Brendan Duda liked thisBrendan Duda liked thisBeing back at headquarters for Sales Kickoff at Bentley Systems was a good reminder of how much better things are when we’re in the same room. The presentations were great but what made this event even more valuable was the honest conversations, the alignment, and the shared energy around helping transportation agencies and engineering firms actually deliver better outcomes. I was proud to represent our Solution Engineering Transportation team and lead two sessions, but even more proud of the team behind the work. #OneBentley

Factories often depend on manual engineering, CRM, and ERP processes. This creates delays in quoting, production scheduling, and delivery, and increases the likelihood of errors. In our Autodesk University 2025 session, "Empowering Tomorrow’s Factories with Seamless Autodesk Integration," we will demonstrate how a fully automated workflow can connect sales, engineering, and production. Customers can configure products using a 3D tool, and design automation then generates drawings, BOM, and CAD or BIM models. ERP can automatically generate quotes and production schedules, while inventory checks trigger material orders as needed. Production then proceeds efficiently with minimal errors. This system transforms weeks of work into minutes and allows engineering teams to focus on innovation rather than repetitive tasks. #Au2025 #Digitalfactory #Manufacturingtech #Smartautomation #Autodesk #Factoryautomation #Apsplanning #Designengineering #Manufacturingsolutions #Engineeringfuture

👉 Join our Webinar on how to use AI and MQTT. Learn the top benefits of harnessing Large Language Models (LLM) with MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport): 1. **Real-Time Data Flow**: MQTT facilitates real-time, event-driven data exchange, allowing AI systems to process fresh data as it arrives. This is essential for applications requiring immediate analysis and response, such as anomaly detection in manufacturing or smart home automation. 2. **Scalability**: MQTT can manage thousands to millions of devices and messages, making it highly scalable. This is crucial in IoT environments where numerous devices generate data simultaneously, accommodating high throughput and multiple concurrent connections without performance loss. 3. **Decoupled Architecture**: The publish/subscribe model of MQTT decouples data producers (sensors) from consumers (AI services), allowing for flexible system design. New AI models can be integrated without changing device firmware, facilitating easier updates and maintenance. 4. **Efficient Resource Use**: MQTT's lightweight design minimizes network overhead, which is particularly beneficial in low-bandwidth and unstable network environments. This efficiency allows devices to communicate with minimal code and resource requirements. 5. **Enhanced Data Security**: With proper security protocol implementation, MQTT can ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data exchanged between devices, which is vital in sensitive applications like healthcare and automotive. 6. **Flexibility and Integration**: MQTT allows for seamless integration with various AI services and storage solutions, enabling a wide range of applications from predictive maintenance in industrial settings to intelligent home automation. These benefits make MQTT a powerful tool for enhancing the capabilities of AI systems in various applications. #MQTT #IoT #AI #LLM #MCP #EMQX

Where should we go next? We're not building machine learning algorithms for 3d engineering data (yet 😉), but we are building a framework to help you do so, giving you access to 3d CAD data via Python and encoding it for easy ingestion to ML algorithms. This is foundational to the future of CAD/CAM/CAx.
