Maintenance 4.0 specialist Siveco has announced the release of its standard integration module bluebee® cloud for Revit®. The integration makes all BIM (Building Information Model) data in Autodesk Revit® format available to bluebee® cloud FM (Facility Management) users.

bluebee® cloud for Revit® allows users to access all facility operation and maintenance data from the 3D viewer embedded in the bluebee® portal. The solution enables advanced work preparation, using data and graphics from the model to assess step-by-step work instructions and safety points.

The new standard bluebee® cloud module is based on existing integration tools, already used in many projects for example for BMS (Building Management System) integration, which have now been packaged as a special module preconfigured for Revit®. This integration has already been implemented for client projects such as China National Offshore Oil Corporation CNOOC. The solution was developed at the Siveco China R&D Center in Shanghai.

According to Siveco China's General Manager Bruno Lhopiteau: "As many people in the real estate industry have observed, BIM-FM integration has been "all talk, no action"… Many IT vendors are promoting an absurd dream in which building technicians would wear virtual reality goggles instead of doing real work in the facility… bluebee® cloud for Revit®, like all Siveco products, is designed by maintenance people, for maintenance people, in line with our company's Maintenance 4.0 principles."

Unlike IT vendors, Siveco is a maintenance consultancy familiar with real-life building operation. Drawing on its long experience providing data preparation services during project construction, Siveco also delivers consulting services to ensure the BIM model is prepared in line with operation and maintenance needs and international standards.
