Healthcare Sara

Sara discovered that historical records of equipment and systems were not very accurate or reliable. Most equipment records were in a printed format with service records in both printed and emailed versions, making it difficult to know what was current and what was not.

To be successful at any level of planning around capital improvements and maintenance, she would need to validate her records and create an environment in which everyone who managed the equipment would be able to have common access. On a corporate level there were reporting tools in place but nothing that could be used for day to day operations by her team.

Facility Manager Bob

Bob has taken over the role as a new facility manager for his organization. As part of his new role, Bob is responsible for all assets located within the building including maintenance and capital budgeting. Shortly after Bob started with his new role, he found that historical records of equipment and systems were not very accurate or reliable.

Bob found that asequipment had been replaced it had not been updated in historical record spreadsheets, causing him to be off in his capital planning forecasts. His maintenance staff brought awareness that the lack of inventory of critical repair parts was causing extended downtimes and internal customer complaints.

3D Reality Capture

Facility managers, plant operators, property managers, and building owners are asked to be more efficient and productive, commonly with less staff and outdated or unreliable information. BBD will help you bridge the information and labor gap to bring your data to life.

A detailed “virtual twin” of a facility aids in employee onboarding, mechanical inspections, asset location, work flow improvement, digitized records and life cycle asset management. Accurate 360° images and smart tags assist with day-to-day tasks and condition awareness. By incorporating visual models as part of your reporting, executives can better understand the life cycle of assets.

Digital Asset Management

Asset management is the process of understanding what physical assets a business owns, where those assets are located, and what condition they are in.

Assets include big-ticket items like HVAC and industrial equipment, computers and network hardware, as well as lower-cost items like desks and chairs – and everything in between. In a building of any size, the list of assets is long, and tracking their whereabouts and life cycle can be complex and time-consuming.
