SPACEWELL ACHIEVES


VISION OF BIM-ENABLED FM Spacewell, a provider of building management software that is part of the listed Nemetschek Group, is releasing a major Q4 2020 upgrade of its MCS Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS).


The MCS 20 release, featuring a unified user interface design and cohesive user experience across devices, allows for an easy transition to BIM-enabled FM, empowering organisations to optimise building management and maintenance.


MCS 20 offers clear benefits for FMs and technicians, who can access BIM models in the field, visualise them in 3D (much faster than in any native IFC-based viewer) and see relevant assets as highlights on a semi- transparent building model, with all relevant information to execute work orders attached.


With MCS 20 asset registers for facility management no longer needing to be built manually, all spatial and asset data can be imported from BIM, and floors, rooms, and maintenance objects will be created automatically. This is not limited to a one-time operation; MCS 20 can import revised models, process the differences, and update the information accordingly.


A BIM Explorer within MCS 20 lets users consult BIM models, with all of their objects and properties, in a graphical way. Users can update the properties of a BIM element and write the changes back to

Bimplus. Thanks to an integration with MCS Web Work Orders, the tool also becomes incredibly useful for technicians working in buildings, providing them with clear asset location information and properties within the BIM model.


Eric Van Bael, CEO at Spacewell, said: “I’m thrilled that our new release now brings the benefits of BIM for FM within easy reach of building managers and field technicians. By embedding BIM data into an IWMS while also connecting with the IoT to collect data about building utilization, MCS 20 extends the value of BIM beyond design and construction and opens the way to create digital twins that help owners and project teams leverage intelligence throughout the building life cycle.”


Next to enabling BIM for FM, some of the most prominent features of the new MCS 20 release include:


● New BI engine that comes preloaded with dynamic, best- practice dashboards; drill-down functionality and enhanced insights to optimise space and comfort for agile working and COVID-19 policy compliance.


● Enhanced operations based on (near) real-time sensor data analytics including scenarios such as indoor climate monitoring, room and desk utilisation and activity-based service delivery.


● Mobile apps for both building occupants and technicians.


● Work Manager, the mobile app assisting 25,000 field engineers globally, gets an updated and unified look and feel across devices.


● Smart working for facilities staff with the Work Assistant, providing clear, highly visual instructions on color-coded floor plans for cleaning, IT, small repairs or catering. It lets mobile workers generate in-field work orders and connects with the IoT to trigger the right services at the right time based on real-time data from ongoing events.


● Personal Assistant mobile app for tickets, services, reservations and feedback.


● Smart displays to enrich people’s experience at work: the same app is used in different settings, e.g. personal smartphone, meeting room touchscreens and large- screen kiosks for high-traffic areas. These touchpoints make it easy for building occupants to find and book free spaces, locate co- workers, and book support tickets.


● Intuitive ribbon navigation providing quick, personalized access to frequently used functionality.
