Digitization of Asset Management:
At its core, Asset Management is all about maximizing asset output while minimizing the costs associated with downtime and repairs. The recent IoT trend of Asset Digitization is helping organizations achieve these core Asset Management goals and more. Asset Digitization is the process of creating electronic resources from your physical assets. The Digitization strategy includes systems, tools, meta-data, cataloging, and captioning, but most importantly, a platform integrated with sensor-technology. Sensor technology provides organizations with real-time as well as a log of historical data on each asset. This empowers stakeholders to make data-driven decisions that will optimize the value in each stage of an asset’s lifecycle.
What are its benefits?
- Real-Time Visibility to Individual Assets
- Transform Current Business Processes
- Make Data-Driven Decision
Digitization Use Cases

Predictive Maintenance:
Predictive Maintenance is an approach that helps determine the condition of in-service equipment to estimate when maintenance should be performed. This approach promises cost savings over routine because tasks are performed only when warranted.
HelixSense solutions enable organizations to develop smart maintenance protocols that perform the correct task at the appropriate time based on particular assets’ performance and/or history.
Real-Time Visualizations / Digital Twins
The Digital Twin is a virtual tool that empowers organizations to better understand every component of their building(s). A Digital Twin is a virtual model of an individual asset or an entire facility, that assimilates the same sensor-fed data that its physical analog does. Data is the key piece of the Digital Twin. It’s important to understand that without real-time and historical data, you just have a digital replica of your asset or building. Your building’s Digital Twin is aware of each asset’s installation date, maintenance history, uptime/downtime, and other significant events, including behavior when stress tested. The overall goal of a Digital Twin is to provide a real-time digital image of your facility to optimize business performance and operations.
What are its benefits?
- Reduce Risk
- Reduce Costs
- Improve Quality

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most misunderstood terms amongst organizational leaders. Generally, AI is referred to as machines that respond to stimulation in a way that is consistent with traditional responses from humans. The simulation of human intelligence allows machines to think like humans and mimic their actions. AI enables machines to exhibit traits associated with a human mind such as contemplation, judgment, intention, and problem-solving. AI technology is continuously evolving, causing previous benchmarks to become outdated and even now taken for granted as an inherent computer function. The core goals of AI are to provide machines with the ability of learning, rationalization, reasoning, and perception.
What are its benefits?
- Accuracy & Consistency
- Self-Reporting Assets
- Complete Integration
Artificial Intelligence Use Cases
Needs-based Cleaning:
Needs-based cleaning are intelligence cleaning protocols that are powered by integrated sensors that monitor cleanliness and cleaning demand in real-time.
HelixSense sensors provide an accurate representation of true space utilization in the workplace. HelixSense will then intelligently trigger automated cleaning procedures or identify the appropriate personnel if a manual service is required. From the centralized HelixSense platform, managers can restrict reservations and access to particular areas and workspaces that require cleaning.
Space Management:
Space Management considers the physical space of an organization’s facility, as an asset. Space Management includes tracking and maintaining your space and occupancy information – who is utilizing workspaces, understanding how much space your organization has, and how it’s being used.
HelixSense allows you to effortlessly monitor and manage workstation booking, facility access, traffic flows, current occupancy, and other crucial space and utilization metrics. HelixSense will also notify staff, customers, and other individuals within the facility which spaces are safe to enter and which ones are not.
Automation:
Automation is the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or a system to operate automatically, with minimal, if any, human assistance.
HelixSense is all about accuracy, therefore, we are all about Automation. HelixSense helps organizations identify which manual processes would be more beneficial by automating and which ones should remain as manual.
Operational Excellence
Operational Excellence is a philosophy that embraces problem-solving and leadership to continuously improve processes, products, and services. Simply put, Operation Excellence is the execution of the organizational strategy more effectively and consistently than the competition. Operational Excellence is not a set of activities that you perform or a set it and forget it process. Rather, it is a mindset that should be present and ingrained into your organizational culture daily. While continuous improvement is a part of it all, Operational Excellence goes further. It goes further because it sets the organization up for growth by creating an uninterrupted value stream that always feeds the need. What is IoT to help achieve Operational Excellence? IoT provides organizations with data, predictive insights, and enhanced processes that can drastically improve everyday operations.
