Where is that network cabinet? Which room is the fire extinguisher due for inspection in? Knowing where assets are, and keeping their location up to date, is essential to managing them. CMDBuild offers three ways to locate them, which can also be used together.
On the map
For assets spread across an area: buildings, communication lines, street cabinets, traffic lights, cameras, shown on maps such as OpenStreetMap.
In CMDBuild: GIS
On floor plans
For what is inside buildings: building systems, furniture, fire extinguishers, workstations. Upload the floor plans and place the assets on them.
In CMDBuild: DWG and DXF floor plans (AutoCAD)
In the BIM model
For buildings designed with the BIM (Building Information Modeling) method, CMDBuild imports information from the model and shows rooms and assets in a built-in 3D viewer.
In CMDBuild: models in the open IFC format
Always up to date, right from the browser
Imports can be automated with automated tasks. Locations are stored in the CMDBuild database (PostgreSQL with the PostGIS extension).
