Common Data Environment
The CDE offers flexibility in defining customer specific properties for location and assets to make available the complete information about the infrastructure in a single place.
Customer can correlate structured data including BIM and other information about assets coming from 3rd party tools via APIs.
The quality check and reporting help Customer refine and maintain the quality of data throughout the lifecycle of the building.
Relationship between various entities including location information, systems, associated documents and tasks can be stored in a single place allowing the complete overview for facility managers and owners.
Tasks for Asset Maintenance
Tasks can be scheduled to maintain and manage building assets using the recurring tasks. The history of the maintenance activities for the tasks can be used for analysis and maintenance planning. Tasks can also be created and managed for current asset failure or damage including repair/ replacement and assigned to personnel. Service engineers and Operators can easily locate assets using the 3D visualization, add comments and interact with each other using the mobile application. Any related information about the impacted system, documents or related components can be pulled in for assistance.
The facility managers can access information about the status and information on the tasks added by operators on field to change assignment, give suggestions or plan additional activities.
Navigation for Inspections and Maintenance
Facility managers and operators can remotely navigate buildings using the options available for 2D and 3D navigations. Layers such as HVAC, Electrical, Fire can be enabled and disable, and views and viewpoints can be created as per different needs if available from BIM. Customer can search and isolate an entire system or asset for maintenance and troubleshooting.
A correlated visualization of the 2D and 3D floor plan is available when navigating the areas also allowing an easy switch between 2D and 3D including 2D overlays. User can easily visualize the floor, hide ceilings, walls etc. to look at the assets behind these and jump between floors using simple navigation options for remote diagnostics.
Real Time Information and Visualization
Lifecycle Twin integrates real time values using the remote data service via Modbus and OPC or customer specific integrations built via Lifecycle Twin APIs. Time series information can be visualized for historical analysis and for predictions based on the data connected. Animations on assets can be built to represent components that need focus and can be quickly identified.
Rooms and components can be colored based on custom conditions to represent various aspects including space utilization and areas that need attention depending on the use cases.
Information Handover and Workflows
Documents are a critical part of an end-to-end project delivery and operations. Lifecycle Twin facilitates information handover, inspections and operations inline with ISO19650 by providing various mechanism of versioning, maintaining and modifying documents including workflow definition and management. Workflows can be defined at the project level and be associated to both tasks and documents.
Data Hosting and Data Usage
Hosts and processes data in data centers located in Ireland, USA or Australia depending on the deployment. For information regarding processing of personal data Customer may refer to the Data Processing Terms.
Data Export and Import
BIM information can be imported into Lifecycle Twin using the IFC and Revit BIM connector tools. These tools offer various options to select the information to be imported including the metadata and geometry information and if Lifecycle Twin or BIM is to be considered as the source of truth. Lifecycle Twin also supports import and export via COBie spreadsheets for data and import and export of documents.
