Asset and facility management in spatial context

Help teams locate, understand, document, and manage building assets through a connected digital twin environment.

The Problem

Asset records are harder to use without location context.

Facility teams need more than lists of assets. They need to know where assets are, what they connect to, what documents exist, and what actions are required.

Asset lists lack visual context

Registers and exports tell you what exists, but not where it stands, what surrounds it, or what it connects to.

Documentation is hard to locate

Manuals, drawings, and service records sit in folders and drives with no link to the equipment they describe.

Maintenance tasks are disconnected from space

Work orders reference room numbers and asset IDs, leaving technicians to reconstruct the physical context themselves.

Teams duplicate work or lose time searching

Without one shared spatial reference, people re-survey, re-photograph, and re-ask questions that were answered before.

The Workflow

Locate, understand, and act.

One continuous path from finding an asset in space to closing out the action it needs - without switching between disconnected systems.

  1. 01

    Find the asset in space

    Navigate the digital twin or search by name, tag, or category to land exactly where the asset stands in the building.

  2. 02

    Open the asset record

    See the asset's key details in place - type, identifiers, related systems, and its position in the facility.

  3. 03

    View documents and history

    Manuals, drawings, photos, notes, and past activity stay attached to the asset, right where the work happens.

  4. 04

    Assign or review an action

    Create a task, flag an issue, or review what has been requested - anchored to the exact location it concerns.

  5. 05

    Track status

    Follow open items through to completion so facility, maintenance, and contractor teams share one current picture.

SIM-ON ticket workflow demo - printer failure in a prototyping lab

Length

A printer failure ticket is raised on a phone in a 3D scan of a prototyping lab. On desktop, the printer's asset record is opened, a second stakeholder is added, the ticket is discussed and set to In progress, and a printer service event is added to the asset's event timeline.

Read what the video shows

A panoramic view of a lab labelled "005 RAPID PROTOTYPING LAB" shows yellow cabinets, a benchtop unit and an asset list. A phone mock-up shows the same room with ticket tags such as "AC leaking". On the phone, a pin is placed on a printer and an "Add ticket" form is filled in with the name "Printer failure", a due date, a stakeholder, the description "Printer needed for tomorrow. Important!" and two photos. On the desktop, the view moves to the printer and its "3D Gence DOUBLE P255" asset record opens. "Printer failure" then appears in the desktop ticket list, and a second stakeholder is added to it. With the ticket marked "Open", a comment typed on the phone appears on the desktop, where a reply is typed. "In progress" is picked from the status menu, and a "Tickets" table lists five tickets, with "Printer failure" marked "In progress". Finally, an "Edit asset" panel adds a printer service event, which then appears in the "Event timeline".

Use Cases

Facility management use cases.

Practical jobs to be done for facility, estates, and maintenance teams - organized around the buildings where the work actually happens.

Asset tagging

Tag equipment and infrastructure inside the twin so every asset has a precise spatial location.

Maintenance records

Keep service history and maintenance notes connected to the equipment they belong to.

Document access

Open manuals, drawings, and O&M files from the asset itself instead of hunting through drives.

Remote walkthroughs

Let vendors, engineers, and remote stakeholders review conditions without traveling to site.

Inspection preparation

Prepare with organized, spatially anchored records of assets and technical areas.

Portfolio standardization

Apply one documentation standard across buildings so every site is organized the same way.

Contractor coordination

Brief external teams with the spatial context, documents, and task history they need to start work.

The Product

Powered through SIM-ON workflows.

SIM-ON is SIMLAB's spatial and operational layer for daily facility management - the environment where assets, documents, IoT readings, and everyday tasks come together inside the digital twin of your building.

  • Asset records anchored to their real position in the building
  • Documents, photos, and history available at the asset location
  • Tasks and status visible where daily operations actually happen
