Day 3 - 22 March
Session: Facilities Maintenance & Management

09:05 - 09:35 - Digital transformation through growth (asset management)
Synopsis: Historically, asset management activities at DAA evolved traditionally, predominantly on a reactive basis. Planned works were carried out on a frequency basis, with information recorded through paper-based processes. On completion of a new terminal in 2010, DAA refocused its approach by adopting a structured asset management philosophy including asset performance, lifecycle analysis, asset information management, compliance and risk management. This culminated in achieving ISO 55001 certification in April 2015. DAA has a growth rate of 9% annually (averaged over the last five years), and to sustain this growth it has had to adopt and leverage technology to work smarter and more effectively.

Audience will learn:

• Adoption of GIS, BIM and mobile technologies
• Unlocking data for a smart approach to asset management
• Digital information asset management strategy
