SIM-ON gives facility teams more control over how assets are categorized, visually identified, and filtered directly within the 3D environment, helping users find relevant equipment faster without losing spatial context. Managing assets inside a digital twin becomes more challenging as the amount of information grows. A small facility may contain dozens of important devices, while…

Managing one building is already a continuous flow of decisions. Managing ten, fifty, or several hundred buildings creates a different kind of challenge. An asset needs servicing in one location. A contractor is waiting for information in another. Several tasks are approaching their deadlines. An inspection has been scheduled, but the supporting documents are stored…

Facility management is rarely one big project. It is hundreds of small decisions that add up to reliability: an issue that needs diagnosis, an audit that needs proof, a renovation that cannot rely on guesswork, a contractor who needs context without pulling your team into yet another round of site walks. The challenge is that…

Introduction – Japanese Railways (JR) and the Scaling Potential Japanese Railways (JR) is one of the largest railway networks in the world, with a rich history and a huge operational scale. JR Kyushu (part of the JR Group) was created after the privatization of the national railways JNR in 1987 and today operates 571 stations…

Paper archives, scattered PDFs, and multiple unconnected systems (CMMS/BMS) are everyday reality for many universities. Toyo University tested a different approach: a 3D spatial interface built on Matterport Digital Twin and SIM-ON, where documents, manuals, event history, and tasks are accessible straight from the building’s map. The result? Far shorter time to information, fewer communication…

Keeping track of assets across multiple buildings is rarely as tidy as the org chart suggests. Manuals end up in shared drives with vague names, warranty dates live in PDFs that never surface on time, and service notes sit in someone’s inbox long after the technician has left the site. That fragmentation slows response times,…

Project BackgroundJapan Railways (JR), in partnership with NOHARA Holdings, launched a forward-thinking initiative to modernize infrastructure management at the historic Mojiko Station in Kitakyushu, Japan. Recognizing the need for an integrated and intuitive facility management system, JR adopted SIM-ON to support daily operations, asset tracking, and long-term maintenance planning within this iconic transport hub. Scope…
