Empower Your Facility Manager Clients with SIM-ON powered by SIMLAB and Matterport

Introduction

Hi All,

Facility Managers face increasing complexity in managing IoT devices, asset tracking, and maintenance schedules across large and often multi-site properties.

While Matterport’s digital twins provide an exceptional way to visualize and document physical spaces, SIM-ON powered by SIMLAB takes things a step further. By integrating IoT device management and operational automation, SIM-ON turns Matterport models into powerful interactive management tools.

As a Matterport Service Provider, this presents a great opportunity to enhance the value you offer to your Facility Manager clients, helping them streamline operations and improve efficiency with SIM-ON.

1. Why Matterport Service Providers Should Expand Services for Facility Managers

Facility Managers already rely on Matterport for property documentation and visualization. However, there’s an untapped opportunity for you, as a Matterport Service Provider, to provide more value. Facility Managers are not just looking for digital twins; they need smart, data-driven tools to manage their properties efficiently.

By introducing SIM-ON to your clients, you can help them go beyond static 3D models to integrate real-time IoT control, asset management, and scheduled maintenance, all accessible from the familiar interface of their Matterport models.

2. Introduction to SIM-ON powered by SIMLAB

What is SIM-ON?

SIM-ON is an innovative facility management solution that uses Matterport digital twins as an interface for controlling IoT devices. It allows Facility Managers to access real-time data, control building systems, and manage assets directly from within a Matterport space.

How Does SIM-ON Integrate with Matterport?

SIM-ON works by layering IoT data on top of a Matterport digital twin, turning it into a fully interactive smart building management system. With this integration, Facility Managers can monitor and control HVAC systems, lighting, security, and more — without leaving the Matterport platform.

3. How SIM-ON Addresses Facility Management Needs

Unified Control of IoT Devices

Facility Managers often deal with a variety of IoT systems from different vendors. SIM-ON simplifies this by providing one platform where all these systems—whether it’s KNX, SmartThings, FIBARO, or others — can be controlled within the Matterport digital twin. From lighting to security to climate control, everything can be managed centrally.

Enhanced Visibility and Real-Time Data

Facility Managers can visualize the status of devices and systems throughout their buildings in real-time.

For example, they can see if lights are left on in vacant rooms or track power consumption across multiple systems.

Increased Efficiency and Cost Savings

With SIM-ON’s unified platform, Facility Managers can quickly respond to issues, automate energy-saving measures, and reduce downtime with proactive maintenance scheduling. By automating daily tasks and monitoring, operational costs decrease.

4. Key Benefits of SIM-ON for Facility Managers

Centralized IoT Control

SIM-ON unifies the control of IoT devices from multiple manufacturers into one simple interface. This not only reduces complexity but also makes daily operations more efficient.

Energy and Cost Savings

SIM-ON’s smart controls allow Facility Managers to optimize energy usage by turning off devices when not needed or setting temperature thresholds. Over time, this leads to significant cost savings.

Automated Maintenance Scheduling

SIM-ON enables automated reminders for maintenance tasks such as HVAC servicing, lighting checks, or equipment inspections. This ensures critical tasks are never missed and reduces the likelihood of costly emergency repairs.

Scalability for Multi-Site Management

For Facility Managers responsible for multiple buildings or campuses, SIM-ON scales easily, allowing them to manage several properties from the same interface, reducing the need for multiple systems and improving operational oversight.

5. Real-World Applications of SIM-ON

Case Study: Commercial Office Building

A large commercial office building used Matterport digital twins for documentation but needed a smarter way to manage their IoT devices. By integrating SIM-ON, the Facility Manager could monitor lighting, security, and HVAC systems remotely. This not only improved operational efficiency but also reduced energy costs by 20%.

Use Case: Multi-Building Property Management

A multi-building campus needed a centralized way to monitor power usage and security systems across all locations.

SIM-ON allowed the Facility Manager to view each building in real-time, manage alerts, and automate routine maintenance tasks, resulting in lower operational costs and improved uptime.

6. How Matterport Service Providers Can Offer SIM-ON to Clients

Expanding Your Service Offerings

As a Matterport Service Provider, you can offer SIM-ON as an add-on service, extending your capabilities beyond property documentation. This can open the door to recurring revenue through enabling your clients with ongoing IoT monitoring, system updates, and maintenance contracts.

Partnering with SIMLAB

You can partner with SIMLAB to get your clients set up with SIM-ON. SIMLAB offers onboarding, training, and technical support to ensure a smooth integration for your clients.
