TOOLS FOR BETTER, EASIER, FASTER, CHEAPER
INTERACTIVE FLOOR PLAN CREATION
  • When all you have is paper prints

  • Creating integrated electronic files
  • each asset and information for that asset is shown on the same screen
IoT (Internet of Things)
  • Can the current infrastructure handle the increased loads and processing requirements?
  • planning for future is easier when you know what you have andwhere it is! 
DISCOVERY
  • Assists to locate all technology Assets in existing legacy facilities
  • defines  labeling of existing faceplates and racks
FACEPLATE RE-LABELING
