A model-first philosophy
At AJ Digital, we take a data-driven approach to create digital O&M Manuals. Our “model-first” philosophy ensures no vital information slips through the cracks, which is why we include:
Element-based information requirements: We meticulously map O&M requirements to specific building elements, ensuring comprehensive coverage of all equipment and systems within every asset.
Built-in quality assurance: Our system prompts suppliers to provide industry-standard documentation for each product they supply, guaranteeing a high level of quality and accuracy within the O&M manual.
Seamless 3D integration: O&M information is linked to the 3D model of each building. This allows users to access relevant instructions directly within the 3D environment, providing a highly intuitive and user-friendly experience.
Bespoke solutions
We understand that every project has its own unique needs, which is why AJ Digital offers a range of digital O&M solutions such as:
Out-of-the-box solutions: For projects requiring a quick and efficient implementation, we offer a pre-configured platform with a comprehensive structure and proven workflows. This is ideal for those seeking a readily deployable solution.
Customisable Platform: Looking to integrate existing handover processes into a digital O&M platform? Our team collaborates closely with clients to create a bespoke platform structure, ensuring a smooth transition and maximising efficiency.
Investing in performance
AJ Digital’s digital O&M manuals also provide valuable tools for continuous improvement. These include:
Digital platforms: A centralised platform houses all handover information, including O&M Manuals, Health & Safety Files and 3D Models, ensuring everything is readily accessible.
Project-specific review process: We work with clients to establish a bespoke review process that aligns with each specific project's requirements.
Practical completion checklist: We provide a comprehensive checklist that outlines all deliverables needed to achieve practical completion.
Interactive dashboards: These gain real-time insights into the O&M manual creation process. Interactive dashboards also highlight potential bottlenecks and areas requiring attention, allowing for proactive problem-solving.
Digital O&M manuals represent a major shift in asset management, which unlocks the potential for:
Improved communication: Clear and accessible information fosters effective communication between building owners, operators and maintenance personnel.
Enhanced decision-making: Data-driven insights empower informed decisions regarding building operation and maintenance.
Reduced risk: Proactive maintenance based on accurate information minimises the risk of building system failures and costly repairs.
Sustainable asset performance: A well-maintained building operates more efficiently, leading to lower energy consumption and a reduced environmental footprint.
The benefits of digital O&M manuals are numerous:
Improved efficiency
Digital manuals eliminate the need for searching through bulky paper documents. Information is readily available online, accessible from anywhere, at any time.
Reduced operating costs
By ensuring a building is operated and maintained correctly, digital O&M manuals deliver increased equipment lifespans and lower overall operating costs.
Improved operational reliability
Clear and readily accessible instructions minimise the risk of errors, leading to more reliable and efficient building operation.
Standardised Information
Digital platforms ensure consistent formatting and structure across the O&M manual, making it easier and quicker to find the information people need.
Single source of truth
A centralised platform eliminates the risk of outdated or conflicting information. Digital O&M manuals serve as a single source of truth for all asset information.
Simplified updates
Updates and revisions are easily implemented and communicated to all users, ensuring everyone has access to the latest information.
