BIM Application

Background of Development: Challenges in Building Management

　The SY-iFM Platform, our facility management solution, was developed to address various challenges in building operations and maintenance.
　In Japan today, the decline in the working-age population has led to serious issues across many industries, including the building management sector. These challenges include an aging workforce, labor shortages, and rising personnel costs.
　Additionally, building management involves handling a large volume of information—such as reports, drawings, and documentation—which often requires significant time and effort to access and verify.
　In response to these issues, we developed the SY-iFM Platform based on actual customer feedback and a clear understanding of both current and anticipated future challenges. Our goal is to provide a practical solution that streamlines building management and supports long-term operational efficiency.

Features of the SY-iFM Platform

　The SY-iFM Platform is designed to enhance and streamline building management by offering the following key functions:

①Establishing a Management System Independent of Human Resources
　Reduces reliance on individual personnel and enables a more efficient and sustainable management structure.
②Remote Management Using BIM Data
　Utilizes BIM to allow monitoring and management of facilities without the need for on-site visits.
③Digitization of Reports and Documents for Paperless Operations
　Converts various forms and documents into digital format, enabling centralized information management and improved operational efficiency.
④Support for Multi-Building Cluster Management
　Facilitates the integration and sharing of information across multiple buildings, regardless of scale, making it suitable for large facilities.
⑤Accumulation and Sharing of Property-Specific Knowledge for Efficient Training
　Enables the sharing of management know-how for each facility, supporting effective onboarding and technical knowledge transfer.

　Utilizing BIM models to develop building designs and simulate design modifications enables enhanced design quality and greater precision throughout the planning process.

　Leveraging BIM models allows for detailed visualization and clash detection of building structures and systems, facilitating efficient construction planning with minimal rework.
　By integrating BIM with construction management platforms, teams can exchange information in real time, enhancing coordination and enabling more effective project execution.

　In the operation and maintenance phase, platforms integrated with BIM models facilitate the aggregation and linkage of diverse data—including equipment specifications, maintenance records, and IoT connectivity—enabling streamlined and consistent facility management.

BIM Model Applications

　At the forefront of digital innovation, platforms such as SY-iFM harness the power of BIM models to deliver comprehensive building management solutions. By integrating advanced technologies, these systems optimize facility operations, enhance energy efficiency, and streamline maintenance processes.
　This holistic approach significantly improves:
・Safety
・Preventive Maintenance
・Operational Efficiency
・Service Quality
　Through centralized data management and real-time collaboration, BIM-based platforms empower organizations to achieve smarter, more sustainable building operations.
