About this building

Site operators and the facilities teams carrying a service schedule across more than one site. This is a live twin we built and run for the customer, and the situations shown here are real ones from the site. Each unit holds its own service interval, its own visit history and the free-text notes left by whoever attended. The twin compares the last visit against the interval, so a schedule that has quietly slipped is visible against the equipment it belongs to.

The problem: nobody is watching the interval

Planned maintenance is agreed as a cycle and then run as a series of individual visits. Each one gets booked when somebody remembers or when something breaks, and the cycle is only checked after the equipment has already failed.

The notes are the real loss. A technician who writes "slow loss on the low side, recommend a leak search" has done the diagnostic work. If that sentence lives on an invoice rather than on the unit, the next person starts from nothing.

What the twin holds

The unit as an element that holds its interval, its visits and every note left against it.

What came out of it

A gap that is obvious, and a recommendation from a year ago that is still attached to the thing it was about.

Copilot checks the service history

Somebody asks when the air conditioning was last serviced, because it is not cooling properly. The answer is fourteen months ago against a six month interval, which is two visits missed. The more useful part is the note the technician left on that visit: slow loss on the low side, recommend a leak search next visit. There was no next visit.

The forecourt price sign on the asset register. Forecourt price sign, LED price display.

The price sign opened from the forecourt. The digits blank intermittently and it is worse in the cold, which narrows it. The history says the display controller was reseated, an earlier flicker was fixed by replacing the driver, there has been a relamp, and the annual structural inspection is on file against the same element.

  • Checking the interval:
    The last visit and the agreed cycle are on the same card.

  • Keeping the notes:
    What the technician recommended stays on the equipment.

  • Booking against evidence:
    A leak search recommended and never done is a reason, not a guess.
