Siemens, a leader in digital building management solutions, has unveiled its partnership with Metaroom by Amrax, a tool for 3D scanning and digitization, aimed at creating digital twins for brownfield locations.
Metaroom, which specializes in digitizing current buildings, will be integrated into the Siemens Xcelerator—a digital business ecosystem designed to expedite companies’ digital transformation—enhancing the functionalities of the Siemens Building X Lifecycle Twin for projects involving existing structures.
The utilization of digital twins is becoming pivotal in the management, upkeep, and optimization of buildings. The Siemens Building X Lifecycle Twin adopts a data-driven methodology for the lifecycle management of building assets. Nonetheless, according to Metaroom, achieving precise and thorough digitization of buildings poses significant challenges, especially for brownfield sites.
Metaroom tackles this challenge by utilizing AI-driven smartphone scanning technology to produce detailed 3D spatial models. The firm claims that its platform offers a budget-friendly and accessible substitute to conventional techniques, which tend to be resource-heavy and necessitate costly hardware and specialized skills.
Through its integration with Siemens Xcelerator, Metaroom will empower users to digitize environments without the requirement for high-cost tools or extensive training and expertise. Furthermore, the platform’s AI technologies guarantee detailed and dependable outcomes, even in challenging settings, according to the company.
“With Metaroom, we are not merely making digitization more accessible; we are democratizing it,” stated Martin Huber, CEO at Metaroom by Amrax. “The collaboration between Metaroom and Siemens Building X Lifecycle Twin revolutionizes the approach to brownfield projects, resulting in quicker returns on investment and more efficient implementations.”
The Siemens Building X Lifecycle Twin converts raw data into practical insights. Metaroom supplies the precise and all-encompassing digital models essential to facilitate these insights, aiding in predictive maintenance, energy efficiency, and meeting regulatory requirements by transitioning existing structures to the digital domain.
“Digitization is the cornerstone for optimizing operations and ensuring sustainability in future buildings, and Metaroom significantly reduces the barriers to entry,” remarked Martin Lang, Head of Building Technologies, Siemens AG Ă–sterreich. “For brownfield initiatives, it creates a scalable and effective route toward digital transformation, aligning seamlessly with Siemens’ objective to foster smarter buildings and urban environments.”
