Standardize data and tools across engineering workflows with VIKTOR.AI

Challenges in Maintaining Engineering Standards

Engineering and construction firms today face mounting pressure to increase engineering efficiency while maintaining high quality and compliance. If you're a decision-maker (digital leader, project manager, or executive) at a mid-sized or large engineering firm, you likely already know that disconnected software tools, manual data transfers, and governance issues significantly impact project delivery and engineering productivity.

As engineering projects grow more complex, involving multiple disciplines and various software packages, traditional workflow management approaches don't meet the criteria to deliver the return-on-investment needed to justify further digital transformation.

Most engineering companies organize their work around projects – and although tools are organized in network folders with project structures, it remains difficult to maintain consistent engineering standards across different projects. This lack of uniformity forces engineers to waste time moving between different systems, resulting in them manually transferring data with excel sheets and struggling to maintain consistent engineering standards across projects and workflows.

Governance as a Key Challenge

Without a structured digital workflow, tracking changes, controlling access, ensuring the right logic is implemented, and ensuring compliance become major pain points. According to a 2021 report by the Project Management Institute (PMI) on project efficiency across different industries, around 60% of errors in engineering stem from miscommunication and poor data management. Companies must ensure that the right people have access to the most recent data at the correct time to protect intellectual property and enforce high engineering standards. So, how can this be achieved?

Streamline Project-Based Workflows with VIKTOR.AI

VIKTOR.AI is a web-based platform tailored to automate and optimize engineering workflows in construction and technical projects. With VIKTOR.AI, engineering teams can create custom web applications with Python in a very short time.

Designed by engineers, the VIKTOR.AI platform integrates seamlessly with the software that engineering professionals use every day, from CAD systems and BIM platforms to other specialized engineering tools. At VIKTOR.AI, we understand the importance of governance in engineering projects and provide features that support compliance, traceability, version control and data management – taking all crucial aspects of modern engineering workflows into consideration.

Standardize Engineering Processes

Let’s dive deeper into how we approach engineering automation across workflows and projects at VIKTOR.AI. Our project-based approach helps engineering teams organize and access their work more effectively, with clear benefits for engineering efficiency and process standardization. Users work within project folders that contain all relevant applications, data, and resources to the project.

This approach improves engineering workflows by:

• Grouping related engineering applications by project, reducing time spent searching for information

• Creating a central, interconnected hub for all project-related engineering data and calculations

• Leveraging standardized applications which can be re-used in multiple projects at the same time, without limitation.

The result is a collection of environments that feel natural to engineers while providing digital leaders with the structure needed to implement standardized processes and measure performance metrics across all projects.

IP and Data Security

Our project-based approach includes robust governance features that address common concerns about intellectual property protection and data security:

• Project owners can implement role-based access controls that align with existing organizational structures

• Security settings ensure team members access only the information relevant to their work

• Engineering teams maintain the integrity of their automated processes, reduce errors, as the VIKTOR.AI platform facilitates QA and compliance checks

• The VIKTOR.AI platform supports multi-region collaboration whilst adhering to regulatory requirements

• Application verification measures to ensure engineers’ work is checked and approved before an application is used for important calculations

These controls improve project security while facilitating collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Getting Started with VIKTOR.AI

For engineering firms looking to implement VIKTOR.AI, the best way is to start with a high-impact pilot project. This should be a repetitive, time-consuming process that affects multiple engineers—such as automating structural calculations or integrating design tools like SCIA Engineer, REVIT and IDEA StatiCa. By demonstrating immediate efficiency gains, digital leaders can quickly prove the value of VIKTOR.AI.

To ensure smooth adoption, teams can use our training resources. The VIKTOR.AI documentation offers structured tutorials, and webinars and case studies provide real-world insights. Engineers can also engage with the VIKTOR.AI Community to learn from other engineers and create more advanced tools.

If your organization requires additional support, VIKTOR.AI can provide expert guidance on implementation, governance setup, and integration strategies. This tailored program helps companies accelerate adoption while minimizing risks.

Conclusion

For engineering and construction leaders, VIKTOR.AI offers a smarter way to streamline workflows, boost efficiency, and ensure compliance. By structuring digital tools around how engineers naturally work, VIKTOR.AI eliminates common roadblocks that slow down digital transformation.

The results speak for themselves: faster workflows, better collaboration across teams, stronger regulatory compliance, and a secure way to retain valuable engineering knowledge.

As projects become more complex and regulations tighten, the right digital tools should make life easier—not harder. VIKTOR.AI helps engineering firms stay ahead by simplifying processes and maximizing efficiency.
