ALL ABOUT THE DOOR

Asset tagging for visualisation , modification and management

» ASSA ABLOY OPENING Solutions UK & Ireland has introduced an asset tagging functionality for doors developed using its Openings Studio™ Building Information Modelling ( BIM ) Software , with the first customer project utilising this system now installed .
Openings Studio is a cloud based , custom configuration tool for the creation , visualisation , modification , and management of door openings . The unique BIM application provides access to complete doorset information at all stages from product concept to product care .
The new Openings Studio Mobile App allows users to manage buildings as a holistic
system , and design , build and maintain openings for their entire life cycle .
Information stored within the app enables buildings to be safely and effectively designed , constructed and operated , providing a genuine seamless link between design intent during the specification process onto the product in service .
Every door logged in Openings Studio is automatically assigned a unique asset tag , which can be affixed to the door as either a QR code or RFID Tag , enabling direct access to the door details , including installation , inspection , and service history .
The asset tag functionality enables direct access from the
Mobile App to information such as product specification , hardware schedule , product information , inspection reports , digital images , and change management tracking .
Brian Sofley , Managing Director of ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions , explains : “ Dame Judith Hackitt ’ s report outlined the need for a new regulatory framework and
an emphasis on the ‘ golden thread approach ’, providing transparency of information and an audit trail all the way through the life cycle of a building .
“ Openings Studio has been created with this in mind , and our new mobile application and QR code and RFID asset tagging system enables direct access to door details , including installation , inspection and service history , which helps ensure accountability and a holistic approach .”
