As-Builts for Asset Management

An essential part of Digital Twin workflows for Asset Management is utilizing the scanned as-builts to tag your equipment rather than just the CAD models that may not be up to date. This allows users to link physical equipment or parts to their digital counterpart, and in combination with other business data, make decisions which optimize the process and performance. 

The Reality Capture data also provides the context, which the CAD model often does not. What is going on around a machine or equipment in the built environment may affect accessibility when repairs or replacement must happen. This context from the Reality Capture data also validates that the model or twin is accurate, and therefore reliable, or not. When built on top of 3D reality capture data, Asset Management’s decision-making process is greatly improved by increasing the organization’s efficiency, effectiveness and safety as well as reducing rework and downtime.

About Tags in Cintoo

A ‘tag’ in Cintoo references an object or equipment that has a unique ID, an XYZ location, a bounding box, and various metadata which will be used in your Asset Management workflows. 

A tag is part of a list. There can be several lists of tags in a single Cintoo project. Metadata for a tag refers to its attributes such as labels, class of tags, description, hyperlinks to Digital Twin, ERP and EAM platforms.

Tags can be viewed in their as-built context using Cintoo's 3D View.

Tags can be searched based on any content listed in the ID and metadata. Each tag can be seen from one or more scan setups, or from any 3D position in the mesh-based scan data. Lists of tags can be exported from Cintoo together with the scan or 3D view corresponding to each tag in the list. Lists of tags and individual tags can be updated programmatically using Cintoo APIs. See Accessing the Cintoo Cloud API for more details.

Tag Capacity

To use Cintoo's Asset Tagging & Display tools, you must be entitled with a certain tag capacity, the same way that you need a certain scan capacity to upload scans. 

All Cintoo accounts will have 50 free tags to start using the tools. If you need a higher capacity, please contact sales@cintoo.com.

Cintoo  Administrators can see tag capacity by going to Administration > Subscriptions:

Permissions

Cintoo's Asset Tagging & Display tools are associated with two permissions:

• Manage tags: Import, create, edit and delete tags
  • Default setting: Permission given to BIM / VDC Manager role
• View tags: View and export tags
  • Default setting: Permission given to BIM / VDC Manager and Engineer / Modeler roles

Project Managers, Admins or Co-Admins can create custom roles to extend these permissions to other categories. See Users & Permissions for more details.
