Trimble has officially announced the launch of a new asset lifecycle management software suite called Trimble Unity, which is designed to help owners of capital projects and public infrastructure efficiently plan, design, build, operate, and maintain their assets using centralized data and connected digital workflows. According to certain reports, the stated solution effectively packs together Trimble’s best-of-breed point solutions for capital program and asset management to unify and extend its existing offerings. This it does to provide end-to-end asset lifecycle management capabilities that help owners optimize their processes, improve outcomes, and lower the total cost of asset ownership. More on the same would reveal how Trimble Unity’s unified, holistic approach can go a long distance to ensure better decisions about asset rehabilitation and replacement, facilitate reliable and sustainable service delivery, and help users achieve regulatory compliance. A concrete representation would be the fact that owners who choose to use this new asset lifecycle management approach can reduce the total cost of asset ownership by as much as 40%. Having referred to the initial bits and bobs, we now talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, beginning from the solution’s Trimble Unity Construct feature. Trimble Unity Construct is basically a cloud-based construction project and program management capability that is programmed to provide insights on improving process control and reducing cycle times, markedly powered by Trimble e-Builder in both the capacities.
The next feature Trimble Unity users can expect is rooted in Trimble Unity Maintain, which happens to be a GIS-centric enterprise asset management capability which tends to streamline work activity, planning, and analysis for the purpose of optimizing resource allocation and infrastructure reinvestment. This particular feature is supported by Trimble Cityworks AMS, Trimble AgileAssets and Trimble Unity Work Management.
“We’ve brought together the very best of our heritage solutions to provide our customers with even more value for their investment in the Trimble products and services they have trusted for years,” said Shelly Nooner, vice president of innovation and platform for Trimble’s Owner and Public Sector. “By making relevant data accessible to stakeholders across the entire asset lifecycle, Trimble Unity helps owners and their collaborators make better-informed decisions at every phase.”
Then, there is another solution in Trimble Unity Permit. This one is a permitting, licensing and land management capability that streamlines public and back-office operations to manage permits, licenses, right-of-way and code enforcement, doing it all through Trimble Cityworks PLL. Joining the mix would be Trimble Connect, which happens to be a connected data environment (CDE) that unifies asset data in files, native file formats, and 3D models to streamline accessibility and collaboration. Finally, our last piece of highlight comes from Trimble Unity Field. Trimble Unity Field is, at its heart, a multi-stakeholder, configurable mobile solution which can provide a role-based, GIS-centric data collection and visualization experience for project management and long-term asset maintenance workflows.
Among other details, we got to mention that Trimble Unity is available in a single-contract subscription service called the Trimble Unity Asset Lifecycle Management Subscription. This subscription service comes bearing an ability to streamline procurement by eliminating the effort of purchasing multiple products. Not just that, the service is also well-equipped to deliver a broad assortment of capabilities in a single and familiar interface with the same Trimble support teams for implementation and onboarding, thus greatly simplifying the relevant process. In case that wasn’t enough, a centralized access to all the given capabilities will further allow customers to reduce their investment risk, whereas the solution’s flexibility will let users scale the subscription to their needs by easily adding users or expanding capabilities without any lengthy legwork.
