Openings Studio’s asset tagging functionality enables comprehensive doorset lifecycle management

ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions UK & Ireland is highlighting the asset tagging functionality of its Openings Studio BIM software solution, enabling the golden thread of information from a product’s specification right through manufacture, installation and ongoing maintenance.

Openings Studio is a cloud based, custom configuration tool for the creation, visualisation, modification, and management of door openings. It is uniquely integrated with the building model as part of a live and dynamic environment. Every door logged in Openings Studio is automatically assigned a unique asset tag, which can be affixed to the door as either a QR code or RFID Tag, enabling direct access to the door details, including installation, inspection, and service history.

The asset tag functionality enables direct access from the Mobile App to information such as product specification, hardware schedule, product information, inspection reports, digital images, and change management tracking.

Brian Sofley, Managing Director of ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions, said: “The introduction of the Building Safety Act was a major catalyst to bring about significant change in the construction industry. It was clear that a new regulatory framework was needed, and greater emphasis on transparency of information and audit trails all the way through the life cycle of a building.

“Our RFID asset tagging system is uniquely creating that ‘golden thread’ of information, enabling direct access to door details, including installation, inspection, and service history. Ultimately, this provides a holistic approach and ensures accountability across the board.”
