Context

The digital twin, a new cornerstone of asset management

The digital twin has become central to managing and optimizing buildings and industrial sites. By creating a virtual replica of physical facilities, it lets you simulate, monitor and analyze performance in real time – ensuring more efficient resource management and better anticipation of maintenance operations.

This digital repository integrates BIM and IoT data, eases coordination between teams and systems, and maximizes operational efficiency while reducing costs and error risks. With Visionsoft and Archidata, you build this asset repository from your existing 2D drawings and 3D models, with no heavy infrastructure or custom development.

Features

What the Visionsoft BIM FM solution covers

A complete asset repository for operating and maintaining your buildings

🏗

Drawing room and O&M dossiers

Centralize your technical drawings and turn your digital as-built files into future-intervention dossiers (O&M dossiers). Manage and track works efficiently over time.

🔌

Native BIM connectors

Direct import from Autocad, Revit and IFC Checker. Automatic extraction of data from CAD drawings and BIM models to build your asset repository without re-entry.

📋

Asset data dictionary

Build a structured repository of all your assets – rooms, equipment, networks – with their attributes, histories and associated technical documents.

📐

Space and occupancy management

Track areas, occupancy rates and assignments of your spaces in real time. Optimize the planning and organization of your premises from a centralized interface.

🗺

2D/3D visualization and GIS

Navigate your real-estate portfolio in 2D or 3D. Locate your equipment on the drawings, view its technical documentation and maintenance history in one click.

📡

IoT and sensor connectors

Integrate data from your sensors and BMS/BAS systems via API. Enrich your digital twin with real-time data – temperature, energy consumption, alerts.

Testimonial

How Sofia built the digital twin of her hospital

“I struggled to coordinate works and manage room areas and occupancy efficiently. Processes were inefficient, with frequent planning errors, and integrating data from our CAD drawings and BIM models was complex. With Archidata and Visionsoft, I turned our digital as-built files into usable O&M dossiers and set up centralized space management. Coordinating works became smooth and reliable.”

Sofia, asset manager – Hospital

Artificial intelligence

AI to unlock the intelligence of your digital twin

Visionsoft embeds two levels of AI to go beyond simple asset visualization.

Vision AI Maker – Vaia

Generate your BIM FM application from a description

Describe your need in plain language – “I want an asset management application with drawing visualization, space tracking and IoT connection” – and Vaia generates the complete application, ready to deploy, with no developer.

Vision AI Agent Builder

An AI agent to analyze your asset data

Embed an AI agent in your digital twin. It analyzes your IoT data in real time, detects energy anomalies, recommends preventive maintenance actions and answers your teams’ questions about the state of the portfolio.

Why Visionsoft

A digital twin accessible with no heavy IT project

Concrete results for asset, operations and maintenance teams

BIM

Native Autocad / Revit / IFC import

Your existing drawings and models feed the repository directly – no re-entry, no complex migration.

IoT

Real-time sensor data

API connectors for your BMS, BAS and sensors. The digital twin reflects the real state of your facilities.

Developer required

Your asset teams configure and evolve the application without permanent IT dependency.

Hosted in France

Sensitive asset data hosted on French infrastructure. GDPR by default, on-premise option available.

Frequently asked questions

What asset teams ask

Before rolling out a BIM FM digital twin

What is BIM FM and how does it differ from construction BIM?

BIM FM (Facility Management) is the use of BIM after a building is delivered. Where construction BIM serves architects and contractors during the project, BIM FM serves operations and maintenance teams to manage the portfolio over time – up-to-date drawings, equipment records, intervention history, space tracking. Visionsoft is positioned on this operational use.

Can you start from existing 2D drawings without a 3D model?

Yes. Visionsoft and Archidata let you build the asset repository from 2D Autocad drawings or PDF files. 3D visualization is possible if you have Revit or IFC models, but it isn’t mandatory to get started. You begin with what you have and enrich progressively.

How does Visionsoft connect to IoT sensors and BMS?

Visionsoft offers API connectors for the leading building management systems (BMS) and industrial IoT platforms. Sensor data – temperature, energy consumption, alarms – is integrated into the digital twin and viewable from the drawings or in dashboards.

What is an O&M dossier and how does Visionsoft help build it?

The future-intervention dossier (O&M dossier) is the reference document gathering all the information needed for future work on a building – drawings, manuals, network locations. Visionsoft lets you turn digital as-built files into usable O&M dossiers, updated continuously as interventions happen, accessible to field teams from their smartphone.

Is the solution suited to healthcare facilities and public buildings?

Yes. The solution is used in hospitals, public institutions and industrial sites. Hosting on French infrastructure, native GDPR compliance and the option of on-premise deployment meet the specific requirements of these environments.
