AI for asset management
AI agents that read the asset's model, systems, maintenance and documents.
Whoever runs an airport, a hospital or a property portfolio has data scattered across different systems: the BIM model, BMS, meters, maintenance software, thousands of documents. We implement AI agents that read them together, answer the questions of the people running the asset and flag faults and waste before they turn into costs.
What changes for the people running the asset
| Today | With AI agents | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding a document | Folders, emails, whoever remembers | One question, with a link to the right page |
| Maintenance | On a calendar or after the fault | When the operating data calls for it |
| Energy | The total on the bill, at month end | Waste flagged, with its place in the building |
| Decisions | On hand-built reports | On up-to-date data, approved by a person |

Where AI pays off most
01
Predictive maintenance
Agents read the systems' operating data and flag components that are deteriorating, before they fail.
→02
Energy and ESG
Consumption read by zone and system, out-of-hours waste flagged, ESG indicators with their data source.
→03
Documents and know-how
Manuals, warranties, certificates and specifications become searchable with a question, with a reference to the page.
→04
Construction and handover
Progress from the model and checked handover documents, so the asset goes into operation with data already ready for AI.
→The platform
AssetOS: digital twin and AI agents in one place
In AI projects for operations we use AssetOS, the platform developed by ConTxT.: it brings together the BIM model, BMS, sensors, maintenance and documents, with agents dedicated to different topics. It sits on top of the systems the client already has, without replacing them.

How we implement it
- 01
One use case
We pick a measurable problem: faults in one system, a building's consumption, time lost looking for documents.
- 02
The data
We check what data exists and at what quality, code the assets in the model and connect the BMS, meters and maintenance.
- 03
The agents
We set up the agents on the real questions of the people running the asset and test them together, on real data.
- 04
The people
Agents propose, people decide. We measure the result on the initial use case, then extend.

Prato Hospital Digital Twin
For Impresa Pizzarotti we built the digital model of the Santo Stefano Hospital in Prato, 60,000 m², and all its MEP systems, and connected it to IoT and BMS data in a single platform. The data, analysed with AI algorithms, is used to plan predictive maintenance and cut energy consumption.

Frequently asked questions
How do you implement AI in asset management?+
By starting from a measurable use case and the data that exists. Assets are coded in the model, the BMS, meters, maintenance and documents are connected, agents are set up on the questions of the people running the asset, and the result is measured before extending.
Do we need a BIM model?+
You need an information model with coded assets that gives the data a place. If a BIM model exists we start from it; if not, we build one from a survey, limited to what operations need. For documents alone you can start without one.
Does the AI decide instead of the technicians?+
No. Agents read the data, flag issues and make proposals, for example a work order. Approval stays with a person, and every answer shows the sources used.
Where does the data stay?+
In the client's systems or in a cloud environment agreed with them. Agents only access authorised data, and for critical infrastructure dedicated installations are considered.
Does it work with the systems we already have?+
Yes, that is the starting point. Connections use APIs or open protocols with the BMS, maintenance software (CMMS or CAFM), meters and document archives. First we check which data is available and at what quality.
