Use case

Smarter maintenance

Boost hands-on-tool-time by up to 9%. Smarter, safer, and more cost-effective maintenance with UDiTH.

UDiTH makes maintenance more effective and transparent. With one single point of truth for asset data, seamless SAP PM integration, and advanced apps like MoC and IoT Historian, UDiTH reduces way time, improves notification quality, and boosts hands-on-tool-time by up to 9%.

The challenge

Maintenance accounts for around 40% of operational costs. Yet, teams often struggle with:

  • Scattered and inconsistent asset data across multiple systems.
  • Missing 3D models and outdated documentation.
  • Time wasted on searching, walking, or verifying job locations.
  • Communication gaps between operations and maintenance teams.
  • A looming retirement wave that risks losing critical expertise.

The result: higher costs, lower reliability, and reduced efficiency.

The UDiTH solution

UDiTH creates a connected digital twin ecosystem for asset maintenance:

  • Unified asset data: Access 2D, 3D, laser scans, asset lists, and history in one hub.
  • Integration with SAP PM: Link directly into maintenance systems to streamline work orders and notifications.
  • Smart navigation: Use GPS coordinates and QR codes for fast asset identification and job location.
  • Improved notifications: Enrich work orders with visual aids, asset status, and history for clear instructions.
  • Workflow simulation: Plan and simulate maintenance tasks, scaffolding, and offshore/onshore workflows.

Relevant UDiTH capabilities:

  • Sketching: Sketch maintenance and scaffolding setups or design modifications in lightweight 3D and P&ID sketches.
  • Simulation: Animate moving objects such as cranes and maintenance sequences to validate space requirements and safety.
  • Reports: Generate maintenance and compliance reports directly from 3D models or P&IDs, with clear traceability to the underlying data.
  • Markups: Add quick annotations to highlight issues or instructions in models and documents.
  • CoTrack: Create, assign, and track maintenance tickets, punchlists, and approvals with flexible workflows, store reports, markups, etc. centrally.
  • Historian insight: Monitor asset condition with IoT live sensor data and integrate it into your Digital Twin to move from reactive to predictive maintenance.
  • RealitySnap AI: Capture missing or modified components with photos, generate 3D objects, and update the asset model instantly.
  • LoToTo: Support safe Lock-out/Tag-out procedures by linking them into the digital twin.
