ONE’s bespoke solutions for a Digital Twin platform, combining Building Information Modelling (BIM) and the Internet of Things (IoT), is a gamechanger for facilities management. It can help you to achieve Net Zero, manage energy, operating costs and provide a host of other benefits.
In ONE’s Digital Twin solution, ONE TwinVis, the graphical model interface is centre-stage and easily readable (rather than the user interpreting lots of charts and raw data). It includes fully configurable tools and visually displays data that is instantly understandable and actionable.
Benefits include:
Ultimately the combination of BIM and IoT technologies within the Digital Twin enable data-driven decisions, benefitting building operators, owners and wider society. The platform simplifies energy management – essential for decarbonisation and managing costs in the current market, monitoring asset performance and health, space utilisation as well as managing risks to safeguard property and occupants’ wellbeing.
Our innovative workflow combines these two technologies; BIM and IoT. We create a Digital Twin platform (ie. a digital asset mirroring and connecting to the corresponding physical asset) that turns the 3D model “live”, with configurable tools that visually display data, support the FM function, allow simulation and intervention within the real world using the digital representation. Gathering data of this kind into a graphical model provides insight and opportunity eg. strategically placed occupancy sensors provides a real-time view of how a facility is being used.
The potential to utilise 3D models generated by BIM for the Facilities Maintenance industry is widely acknowledged. As an Asset Management company or Facilities Manager, you are responsible for operating a building to ensure it remains in good health, safe, compliant by law, as well as maintaining the required levels of sustainability, efficiency and corporate social responsibility.
IoT (Internet of Things) is an emerging technology which refers to the interconnection of digital computing devices that send and receive data from the cloud. Within buildings, wireless sensors collect environmental and operational data (eg. occupancy levels, air temperature, humidity, Co2 etc…), as well as asset-specific performance data (eg. vibration, temperature, electrical consumption, proximity, etc…).
ONE’s Digital Estates team now offers digital twin services for clients with some fantastic developments around fire safety. Talk to the team today so that they can help you to manage carbon, energy, cost, risk and comfort.
