Innovate your assets with digital twin technology

Leverage SWG’s digital twin services for smarter asset management. Through SWG’s digital twins technology, FM teams and operatives can access a dynamic, accurate virtual representation of assets within their estates. The integration of advanced data from Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, allows businesses to monitor, simulate, and optimise building performance in real-time.

• **Streamlined asset management: **Having a digital inventory of assets makes it easier to track assets across time and provides a secure back up in case physical files are destroyed or lost.
• **Centralised data access: **A digital twin contains centralised up-to-date information meaning all stakeholders will have access to the same information in real time, improving communication and decision-making.
• **Enhanced predictive maintenance: **By monitoring real-time data from the digital twin, it can predict when equipment is likely to fail, allowing operatives to schedule maintenance, reducing downtime, costs and potential asset breakdowns.

Optimised renovations and refits Facilities managers can simulate changes and their impact, like remodelling or equipment upgrades, in the digital twin before implementing them physically, reducing the cost of mistakes or poor decision-making and ensuring that projects proceed efficiently and within budget. 

Energy efficiency Being able to identify areas where energy is being wasted allows FM operatives to modify features such as lighting, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, for optimum energy usage. Operatives can monitor these levels to align the buildings procedures with its sustainability goals and reduce its carbon footprint. 

Use workspaces more effectively Workspaces are becoming more multifaceted in the midst of hybrid working, and digital twins help track and manage occupancy levels and analyse how spaces are being used. This analysis and understanding of the space enables better choices regarding layout changes, space allocation and utilisation. Decision-making is enhanced as changes to assets or buildings can be tested in the digital twin before being carried out in real life, making more efficient choices, smarter asset management and increased operational efficiency.
