Asset Data
3D × Equipment Ledger / Equipment DB
Top > Our services > 3D × Equipment Ledger / Equipment DB
Service 2
So that everyone, from new hires to the president, can see the "current state" of the site
Equipment records live in the ledger, and locations live in drawings and people's memories——
Information about factories and plants is often still split up in analog form
DiO links BIM and 3D with equipment ledgers and equipment DBs, aiming to let everyone, from new hires to the president, see the current state of the site on the same screen and find issues more easily
Equipment ledgers and equipment management systems hold accumulated inspection and repair records
But the ledger alone does not tell you where that equipment is on site or what is around it
Without replacing your equipment ledger or equipment DB, DiO combines it with 3D and shows maintenance, failure and asset information by "location"

Do any of these sound familiar?
- Ledger records are not linked to locations on site
- Only certain people know which equipment is where
- When a sudden failure occurs, the situation cannot be shared quickly with the people involved
- Drawings are old or do not match the actual equipment
What DiO can do
Make use of your existing data
We make use of the equipment ledger and equipment DB you use now, as well as Excel and paper records
We do not assume replacement with a new system
If you use an equipment DB, we proceed alongside the existing equipment DB
You can start even with only old drawings
Because we build the 3D from the actual state of the site, you can start even if drawings are old or incomplete
Eliminate dependence on individuals and share quickly during sudden repairs
By linking equipment locations and records on screen, we reduce situations where "you have to ask that person," and when a failure occurs, the people involved can share the situation while looking at the same screen
Down to deterioration and remaining life
Recording the shape alone does not tell you the condition of the equipment
DiO aims to make visible the progress of deterioration and how much longer the equipment is likely to last (an indication of remaining life)
- Including joint research with universities, we are researching and developing methods that indicate the remaining life and an indication of the residual value of equipment using 3D digital analysis and finance theory
- We aim to build up the degree of deterioration (soundness) of each piece of equipment through calculations that have a basis, and to show together with it a "confidence" level indicating how reliable the result is
How it works
- Free online consultation (meeting, 15–30 min): we explain how we proceed and how far things can be visualized
- Current-state discussion: we ask about your equipment ledger and equipment DB, the state of your drawings, and the target scope
- 3D modeling of the site: we turn the current state of the target area into 3D (measurement is carried out using the method and structure best suited to each project)
- Overlay ledger and DB information: we link equipment records to locations in the 3D
- Operation and updates: we decide how to update and make it something you can keep using (when the ledger changes, we update the 3D linkage to match)
Related technology
- Research and development on deterioration analysis
- Difference analysis that compares changes over time and the progress of damage
- Visualizing piping, wiring, pressure, temperature, damage, maintenance information and more, collected in one place
- Data updates (when the ledger changes, the 3D linkage is updated to match)
Example (implementation at a company related to a major steelmaker)
Implementation example | Steelworks-related plant
We made a 3D model of the factory and linked information from the existing equipment ledger to the main equipment
When you select equipment in the 3D, you reach that equipment's ledger information
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to replace the equipment management system I use now?
No
We do not replace your equipment ledger or equipment DB, and proceed alongside it
Is it OK if drawings are old or no longer exist?
Yes
Because we build the 3D from the actual state of the site, you can start even with only old drawings
Can I consult you even if I manage things with Excel or paper?
Yes, please consult us
After hearing how you manage things now, we will propose how to proceed
How is the free online consultation (meeting) conducted?
Over about 15–30 minutes online, we explain how we proceed and the scope of visualization
The online consultation (meeting) is free
How much does it cost?
It depends on the scope and purpose, so we quote for each piece of equipment
