Key Challenges & How we solved the problem

Since the site was newly constructed and some parts still needed to be handed over to the facility management team, Asset information was unorganized and was missing for multiple equipment from the data we had received.

The team managed to collect the information from handover documents, asset nameplates, and product brochures for enriching the BIM models. Further, this information was imported into the solution, and assets were mapped in the Digital twin.

Outcome or how the client got benefitted

Since it's a corporate training campus with accommodation facilities, the number of visitors and guests is usually high. The demand for on-time service and hospitality plays a major aspect in this property due to multiple meetings and conferences which take place simultaneously and also the accommodation requirements.

There are around 800 requests for a year & we could observe that the issues are getting resolved in 10-15 mins. All Maintenance history is recorded in the system, and asset data and reports are being used for FM activities
