Menlo Park, CA – Apr. 23, 2025 – ALICE Technologies, the world’s leading AI-powered construction simulation and optimization platform, today announced the launch of
ALICE Plan, an innovative 2D visual project planning tool. ALICE Plan helps construction teams collaborate and communicate schedules more effectively by replacing traditional whiteboard planning with a digital canvas for real-time, visual scheduling—all without the need for a 3D model.
With ALICE Plan, users can import project data, including schedules and multipage drawings. ALICE can automatically generate an interactive 2D visual layout of the schedule and overlay it directly onto project drawings added to the canvas. Visual layouts of the schedule can be generated by a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or custom-defined properties, such as work regions, start and finish dates, etc., tailoring the view to project and team-specific needs. This planning experience makes it easier than ever to navigate complex construction schedules and visualize and adjust sequences, including the task relationships and dependencies.
Packed with powerful features like timelapse visualization, real-time schedule syncing, and customizable filtering, ALICE Plan offers planners and schedulers an intuitive approach to project planning.
ALICE Plan bridges the gap between planning and execution, dynamically transforming ideas from the canvas—such as resequencing construction activities—into actionable schedules in real time. Customized filters can be applied to both the schedule and the canvas simultaneously, allowing users to visually focus on key schedule elements, such as the critical path, crew allocations, and more. This helps teams make informed decisions that enhance productivity, accelerate schedule development, and optimize operational efficiency by prioritizing what matters most.
“Most of the industry works in 2D and thinks visually, so this was the natural next step in the evolution of ALICE,” said Founder and CEO of ALICE Technologies René Morkos, Ph.D. “It’s the most collaborative tool that we offer. By basing everything on the 2D drawing, it makes it easy for anyone on the project team to view and interact with the schedule, understand how it aligns with the project, and make adjustments—unlike traditional planning methods.”
ALICE Plan is part of the broader ALICE platform, which also includes ALICE Optimize (formerly ALICE Core) and ALICE Model (formerly ALICE Pro). ALICE Optimize
