ASSET MANAGEMENT
Matterport 3D cameras and digital twins improve facilities management by aiding asset tracking, maintenance, and remote audits. They enhance collaboration, space optimisation, and knowledge transfer, boosting efficiency and accuracy.
The Asset Management Advantage
Build an Equipment Inventory
Capture visual records of available assets and tag equipment digitally to track repairs, purchases, and training details. Easily share this visual inventory with maintenance teams.
Facility Planning & Design
Document the current state of a facility before starting the design process. Use a fast, accurate 3D scan to capture the layout and equipment configuration, replacing time-consuming manual measurements. Import the resulting point cloud or OBJ directly into your BIM software.
Train New Employees
Provide new or visiting employees with a 3D walkthrough of your facility to help them navigate efficiently and start working quickly. Use Mattertag Posts (virtual signposts) to highlight key areas, linking physical and digital resources. This enhances situational awareness for employees and first responders during emergencies or disasters.
Optimise Equipment Installation
Utilize a Virtual Factory Layout (VFL) to measure distances between objects and ensure an ideal facility arrangement. Save time and reduce costs by preventing equipment clashes and costly change orders caused by inaccurate site plans.
Benefits of using 3D virtual tours to sell and rent homes
Efficient Asset Tracking: Digital twins and virtual replicas simplify the tagging, tracking, and scheduling of maintenance for assets.
Accurate Remote Audits: These technologies facilitate streamlined audits, allowing for precise inspections without the need for physical presence.
Proactive Maintenance: Detailed visual data from 3D scans enables precise condition assessments, helping to plan for predictive maintenance.
Enhanced Collaboration: Remote teamwork is improved as stakeholders can interact with and explore the digital twin together, making decision-making more efficient.
Knowledge Transfer Support: Comprehensive documentation helps address workforce turnover by preserving essential asset and operational data for seamless transitions.
Space Optimization: The layout representations provided by digital twins offer valuable insights for optimizing space usage and improving facility organization.
Accurate Asset Condition Insights: High-resolution scans provide a clear understanding of asset conditions, supporting better maintenance planning.
Streamlined Inventory Management: Digital twins improve inventory management by offering better tracking and organization of assets.
How Digital Twins Streamline Asset Management
Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical spaces and equipment that help manage assets more efficiently. They collect real-time and historical data, allowing better decision-making, predictive maintenance, and improved performance. Here's how they make a difference:
Improved Asset Lifecycle Management: Digital twins provide detailed data on assets, helping with maintenance and ensuring longer equipment lifespans without needing constant site visits.
Employee Training: Digital twins allow safe, virtual training on equipment, particularly hazardous machines, through realistic visualizations or virtual reality, reducing safety risks and training costs.
Benefits:
Predictive Maintenance: Real-time data from IoT devices helps predict equipment failures and plan maintenance proactively.
Reduced Downtime: Remote monitoring allows for early detection of issues, reducing costly downtime.
Optimised Performance: Managers can monitor equipment performance remotely and adjust workflows for efficiency.
Sustainability: Digital twins track energy usage, helping to identify inefficiencies and reduce carbon footprints.
Enhanced Decision-Making: The integration of real-time data with the virtual environment provides better insights for strategic decisions.
As the digital twin market grows, the technology is expected to improve asset management by making facilities safer, more efficient, and easier to manage remotely.
