Embracing the Sun: How VR/AR is Revolutionizing Follow-the-Sun Maintenance

In the evolving landscape of global maintenance, the traditional approach often stumbled over the hurdles of time zone disparities and restricted working hours. These limitations not only impeded the pace of work but also posed significant challenges in managing and resolving maintenance issues swiftly. Enter Follow-the-Sun (FTS) maintenance, a strategy that revolutionizes this scenario by establishing a seamless, non-stop 24-hour operational cycle. This model leverages the power of global team collaboration, transforming time zone differences from a challenge into a strategic advantage.

Leveraging BIM for Enhanced Maintenance: A New Era in Facility Management

Over the past twenty years, building information modeling (BIM) has been steadily securing itself as an essential tool in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields. Its advanced 3D capabilities are used in just about every design and construction phase. However, with new developments in real-time data collection, the advantages of BIM can extend beyond the completion of a facility.When applied to facility management, BIM opens the door to better asset management, improved safety, and optimized maintenance strategies that ensure that a building performs at its best 100 percent of the time.
