In this guest blog from our partner, leading Canadian construction and building services provider EllisDon, we look at how new AI-driven ‘replicas’ of the built environment drive efficiencies for their clients.
The potential for using advanced technology to enhance the built environment is immense. However, it remains underutilized, and opportunities to fully leverage smart infrastructure data to optimize operations, improve energy efficiency and elevate user experiences across various sectors tend to be lost.
EllisDon has developed a way to overcome this and deliver on these opportunities with EKO, an AI-driven platform powered by FIN Framework. EKO empowers our clients to fully utilize their data – introducing a level of smart simplicity thanks to the advanced technology it is built on.
What is EKO?
EKO is a digital twin platform that creates a virtual “living” replica of the built environment by integrating data from all primary building systems, customer-facing systems, the building information model (BIM) and the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).
To achieve this, we turned to FIN Framework by J2 Innovations. Its flexibility and advanced capabilities allowed us to develop EKO into a robust utility that integrates intelligent infrastructure data seamlessly.
The FIN Framework provides several key benefits:
How EKO leverages the power of FIN
EKO elevates the concept of a smart building by aggregating, organizing and applying AI models to data from various sources, transforming the user experience within the built environment through several key components:
Unified user interface: EKO’s user-friendly web and mobile applications provide a “single pane of glass” for easy access to essential information. This unified interface ensures users have real-time access to critical data, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency.
Enhanced workflows: By delivering actionable insights and tools automatically, EKO streamlines workflows, reducing the time and effort required to manage complex systems and enhancing the human experience.
Advanced analytics and machine learning: Through the integration of FIN Framework, EKO leverages advanced analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence to optimize performance, improve energy efficiency and prevent unnecessary costs.
Conclusion
Incorporating FIN Framework into EllisDon’s EKO platform has been a game-changer, and our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of it.
The flexibility and advanced capabilities of FIN have enabled us to create a solution that maximizes the potential of smart infrastructure data. Through EKO, EllisDon is driving industry-wide change, promoting sustainability, helping building owners succeed through their data, and ultimately enhancing the human experience within the built environment.
