Welcome to Digital Engineering Works Ltd (DEWorks). We are a leading provider of asset information management services using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twins, and we adhere to the principles and best practices outlined in ISO 19650, including the use of COBie.
Asset information is critical for the effective management of any facility or infrastructure. It helps to track and understand the characteristics, performance, and value of assets over time and enables informed decision-making about their use, maintenance, and replacement.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) and digital twins are powerful tools for capturing, managing, and using asset information. BIM creates a digital representation of a facility, including its physical and functional characteristics, and allows for the integration of data from various sources and disciplines. A digital twin is a virtual copy of a physical asset or system and can be used to simulate and analyse its performance and behaviour under different conditions. Together, BIM and digital twins provide a more holistic and accurate understanding of the facility and its assets.
COBie (Construction Operations Building information exchange) is a standardised format for exchanging asset information during the design, construction, and operation of a facility. It is designed to be simple and easy to use and to facilitate the transfer of information from designers to facility managers. At Digital Engineering Works Ltd, we use COBie to ensure that our asset information management services are efficient and effective.
ISO 19650 is a series of international standards that provides guidance on the management of information for the life cycle of construction works. It covers a wide range of topics, including the creation and management of digital models, the use of common data environments, and the implementation of information management processes. At Digital Engineering Works Ltd, we follow the principles and best practices outlined in ISO 19650 to ensure that our asset information management services are of the highest quality.
Some of the key benefits of using BIM and digital twins for asset information management, in conjunction with ISO 19650 and COBie, include:
- Improved accuracy and completeness: BIM and digital twins, when used in accordance with ISO 19650 and COBie, allow for the integration of data from various sources, such as design drawings, specifications, and as-built documentation. This helps to ensure that asset information is accurate and complete.
- Enhanced collaboration: BIM and digital twins, when used in accordance with ISO 19650 and COBie, facilitate collaboration among different stakeholders, such as owners, designers, contractors, and facility managers. This helps to ensure that asset information is shared and updated consistently.
- Greater efficiency: BIM and digital twins, when used in accordance with ISO 19650 and COBie, allow for the automation of many asset information management tasks, such as data entry, validation, and reporting. This can save time and reduce the risk of errors.
- Improved decision-making: BIM and digital twins, when used in accordance with ISO 19650 and COBie, provide a visual and interactive representation of the facility and its assets, which can help to identify and assess potential risks, opportunities, and impacts.
