Data is produced and used by other internally and externally developed applications. These contain for example internally developed schedule management application Sitedrive, procurement and logistics application for just-in-time deliveries Fira Material Flow and Fira Insite which provide situational awareness of the production to site managers. Additionally, Fira has integrated third party quality management application to the ODP. Therefore, Fira has an initial operational information backbone. There are still gaps in data coverage and usability of collected information. Thus, Fira assets and experience support the development of digital building twins and using these twins in actual projects to enhance the overall productivity.
