OrthoGraph® = the Operational BIM©

Operational BIM vs regular BIM

There is a significant difference between the information you need for the long term building operation, facility management, and what you need for designing and construction. The proper use of BIM in the long-term lifecycle of a property when using it, renting it, manufacturing in it etc. will not just result in tons of cost saving, but highly increases the productive performance of it.

The difference between these two BIMs is less technical, it is a lot more about what’s stored in them and how you and your employees can access and maintain them. The Operational BIM should not be an over dimensioned data jungle but rather a sufficiently detailed, straight to the point, always up-to-date building documentation. It is supposed to be available both in the office and on site. By adding unique identifiers (bar codes, RFID) to the inventory the efficiency of operation and maintenance processes can be significantly increased.

Ready to use as-built surveys for significant savings in facility management

Use our service and technology to create as-built surveyed building data supporting building operation, facility management and maintenance management. Our leading-edge technology captures the real-life building fast, reliable and accurate. No matter if you are already operating a building or plan to do it with a newly built or purchased one, all require accurate and always fresh data. Anyone can learn OrthoGraph easily but we also provide surveying services together with our partner network.

2000sqm live-to-BIM daily, each team

Speed and accuracy are our key advantages. We use our own technology to measure the as-built with 1000-2000sqm or 10 000 / 20 000sqft per day each team. Our unique technology supports teamwork, so we can multiply this speed with involving as many teams – including our trained partner network – as required while keeping the same high level of accuracy. We provide better than 1cm or 0.4″ accuracy. The result is similar to this:

As-built surveys, OK. What more?

OrthoGraph is a data management ecosystem integrating a building surveying technology, which provides always up-to-date 3D graphical and inventory data both on-site and in the office. Our 3D BIM model can be integrated with any CAFM, CMMS, IWMS or even Building Management system as part of the everyday workflows. Maintenance workers can access and keep the building data up-to-date, so it’s enough to measure a building only once and then you can stay always in control by following all changes.

Simplicity, durability, data is always at hand

We use mobile technology with low-cost, durable surveying devices like laser distance meters, barcode and RFID readers. OrthoGraph doesn’t need highly educated people or expensive devices to access and modify the building data on-site, but provides high-level integration and graphical functionality for decision making.

Order the as-built survey of your buildings today to start saving by using the results within days.

Manage the entire building life cycle with OrthoGraph to increase service level and operation efficiency.

Accurate data is required for effective building operations, fact based decisions. That’s what OrthoGraph provides. And it provides it with ease, without additional work – though it needs the right processes. The maintenance crew needs to use OrthoGraph to check and register all changes in the building, this way every change will be recorded instantly on-site. There is no need for after-work, there are no paper based documentations that will be lost, and the data quality is continuously monitored by the system automatically.

Manuals, Photos, Videos – Always Accessible

Let the documentation travel: if you need any information on-site – maintenance manual, warranty period, rental information etc. -, then store it into the BIM model of OrthoGraph either by hand, or via its API with bulk changes. There is no easier way to explain a safe way of machinery maintenance, than with a simple video attached to all similar elements of the BIM model.

Graphical Reports, Data Analysis

Applying reports, comparative analyzes of relevant KPls result in significant savings both in the investment phase and during the long-term operational phase. Support the building operation workflows with the OrthoGraph Ecosystem by giving all documentation to your workers’ hands.
