Autodesk Tandem + IoT: How Desapex Powers Real-Time Smart Building Monitoring

,
May 23, 2025

In today’s connected world, buildings are no longer static structures they’re evolving into smart, responsive environments powered by digital innovation. At Desapex, we’re proud to be leading this shift, helping building owners and facility managers tap into the full potential of digital twin technology using Autodesk Tandem. One of the most impactful features of this platform is its ability to integrate with IoT (Internet of Things) devices for real-time asset monitoring, predictive maintenance, and energy efficiency.

Why Choose Autodesk Tandem for Smart Asset Management?

Autodesk Tandem is a cloud-based digital twin solution designed to deliver a comprehensive, data-rich replica of any building or infrastructure. It connects the dots between design, construction, and facility operations by bringing all critical data into one centralized platform. Once you add IoT sensor technology to the mix, Tandem becomes more than just a model it becomes a living, breathing smart building system that reacts to real-time conditions and drives smarter decisions.

How Desapex Brings IoT-Driven Digital Twins to Life

At Desapex, we take a full-circle approach to digital asset management. We don’t just create digital twins we make them smarter with real-time IoT integrations tailored to each project’s unique needs. Here’s how we do it:

1. Seamless Sensor Integration with Autodesk Tandem

We install and connect a wide variety of IoT sensors from HVAC monitoring and lighting control to air quality, occupancy tracking, and equipment performance. All of this real-time data flows directly into Autodesk Tandem, giving facility teams a live view of what’s happening inside their smart buildings.

2. Predictive Maintenance Using Real-Time Insights

Forget reactive fixes. With our real-time condition monitoring, facility teams can move to predictive maintenance strategies. By tracking data like equipment temperature, vibration levels, and operational hours, our system identifies potential issues before they become failures cutting down on unplanned downtime and repair costs.

3. Smarter Energy Use Through Real-Time Optimization

With data from occupancy sensors, lighting systems, and HVAC usage, we help facility managers fine-tune energy usage. Autodesk Tandem offers an interactive visual platform, and our custom analytics engine uncovers trends and inefficiencies, helping buildings become more energy-efficient and sustainable.

Case Study: Real-Time IoT Monitoring in Action

In one of our recent smart building projects, we partnered with a commercial property owner to deploy Autodesk Tandem alongside a robust IoT sensor network. The setup included real-time monitoring of air handling units (AHUs) and energy meters.

Here’s what we delivered:

  • Sensors recorded temperature, humidity, and power usage every 5 seconds.
  • All data was securely uploaded to the cloud and synced with the Tandem digital twin.
  • The facility team accessed real-time dashboards and could visualize equipment status directly in 3D.
  • Our predictive analytics flagged components nearing failure like filters and motors before breakdowns occurred.
  • Energy-saving insights based on occupancy data led to a 15% reduction in HVAC energy use.

What Our Clients Gain

✅ One central platform for all asset data and building intelligence
✅ Instant alerts and dashboards for real-time monitoring
✅ Lower maintenance costs with data-driven predictive maintenance
✅ Better sustainability with smart energy analytics
✅ Reduced downtime and improved equipment life

What’s Next for Desapex and Smart Buildings?

We’re just getting started. At Desapex, we’re already exploring the next step bringing AI and machine learning into the mix. This will allow us to automatically detect faults, forecast asset performance, and even trigger intelligent responses within Autodesk Tandem.

By combining Autodesk Tandem’s powerful visual interface with real-time IoT data, Desapex is helping shape the future of building operations smarter, safer, and more efficient than ever before.
