Internet of Façades (IoFID) - Software and Tagging System

Data tag application for providing façade units in a building with their own digital identity, helping towards creating a digital building envelope.

All of the data, information and documents relating to the unit are stored within the IoFID and will be available throughout the duration of the unit's useful life. This is useful for clients, investors or facility managers, providing a better overview, more information and ultimately greater control of a project.

Features and benefits:

• Location in the building - Every unit can be assigned an item number, e.g. from the current building plans. The advantage of this is that sub-contractors will be able to see immediately where the unit is located according to the plans.
• Acceptance and documentation - After acceptance/ installation, photos of the unit can be taken, and linked with the unit and date. The advantage of this is direct detection if a defect is reported.
• Review documents - Documents can be marked in IoF as “For revision” and added to a project at the touch of a button.
• Requires no power supply, cabling, or control unit.
