Asset Management: How TurnKey 3D Utilises Matterport Technology to Streamline Asset Maintenance, Renewal, and Collaboration

Efficient asset management is crucial for maintaining the longevity and functionality of infrastructure, especially for local governments overseeing vast public properties. At TurnKey 3D, we leverage the power of Matterport technology to transform how we manage, maintain, and renew assets, ensuring seamless collaboration across all stakeholders involved.

Streamlining Asset Maintenance

Matterport’s advanced 3D scanning technology provides us with a detailed digital twin of any asset, offering a precise and comprehensive visual record. This high level of detail is instrumental in several ways:

1. Condition Monitoring: Regular scans enable us to keep an up-to-date visual record of the asset's condition. This continuous monitoring helps in identifying wear and tear early, allowing for timely maintenance that prevents minor issues from escalating into major problems.

2. Maintenance Scheduling: With accurate digital models, we can create more effective maintenance schedules. By visualising the state of the asset over time, we can predict when certain components will require attention, thereby optimising maintenance resources and reducing downtime.

3. Repair Documentation: The ability to document repairs digitally ensures that all maintenance activities are recorded comprehensively. This documentation is invaluable for future reference, ensuring that we have a clear history of all maintenance performed on the asset.

Facilitating Asset Renewal

Renewing assets is a complex process that involves detailed planning and execution. Matterport technology aids this process in several key areas:

1. Detailed Assessments: Before renewing any asset, it is crucial to have an accurate assessment of its current state. Matterport’s 3D scans provide us with the necessary detail to evaluate the extent of deterioration and plan the renewal process effectively.

2. Precision Planning: With the detailed digital twin, we can plan renewals with greater precision. This includes determining the exact materials needed, estimating costs more accurately, and visualising the outcome before any physical work begins.

3. Stakeholder Communication: The visual nature of Matterport’s digital twins makes it easier to communicate plans to all stakeholders. Whether it’s engineers, contractors, or local government officials, everyone can clearly understand the scope and specifics of the renewal project.

Enhancing Collaboration

Effective asset management requires seamless collaboration among various teams and stakeholders. Matterport technology facilitates this through:

1. Shared Access: Matterport’s platform allows multiple users to access the same digital twin, regardless of their location. This shared access ensures that all team members are on the same page, enhancing coordination and reducing misunderstandings.

2. Annotations and Notes: Within the 3D model, we can add notes and annotations to highlight specific areas of interest or concern. This feature is particularly useful for collaborative planning and ensuring that all details are captured and communicated.

3. Integrated Tools: Matterport integrates with various other tools and platforms, allowing for a seamless workflow. Whether it’s integrating with project management software or using TruePlan for creating Xactimate-compatible files, these integrations streamline processes and improve efficiency.

Real-World Applications

Consider the example of a local government managing a public park. With Matterport, we can create a detailed 3D model of the park, documenting all assets such as benches, playground equipment, and pathways. Regular scans help us monitor the condition of these assets, schedule maintenance effectively, and plan renewals with precision. Moreover, the ability to share the digital twin with all stakeholders ensures that everyone involved in the park’s upkeep is well-informed and can collaborate efficiently.

Conclusion

At TurnKey 3D, we are dedicated to revolutionising asset management with Matterport technology. By providing detailed, accurate digital twins of assets, we streamline maintenance, enhance renewal processes, and foster better collaboration among stakeholders. Our approach ensures that local governments can manage their assets more effectively, ultimately leading to better maintained and longer-lasting public infrastructure.
