All Modules of AIRdBASE at a Glance – and How They Work Together

AIRdBASE is built on a modular architecture. Each module has a clearly defined purpose, but the real value of the platform emerges from their structured interaction. Together, they form a consistent data and process backbone for asset management, maintenance, facility management, construction documentation, product documentation, and customer service.

Below is a concise overview of the core modules and how they interoperate.

Objects Module – the digital twin at the center

The Objects module is the core of AIRdBASE. It represents all relevant physical or logical entities, such as:

• Machines and technical equipment
• Systems, vehicles, tools
• Rooms, buildings, areas
• Products or serialized items

Each object:

• is assigned to a defined object type
• is described using configurable properties
• automatically receives a unique QR code (Smart ID)

The object acts as the central anchor point to which all other information is connected.

Documents Module – structured information instead of file chaos

The Documents module centrally manages all object-related documentation, for example:

• Manuals and operating instructions
• Inspection reports and certificates
• Maintenance records, photos, videos
• Planning and as-built documentation

Documents are not stored in isolation. They are directly linked to objects, ensuring that the right information is always available in context—whether in the office, on site, or in service operations via QR code scan.

Properties Module – the flexible data model

The Properties module defines which data can be captured and used across AIRdBASE. Properties can be freely configured and assigned to:

• Objects
• Documents
• Contacts
• Users
• Notifications

Various data types are supported (e.g. text, number, date, list, object or contact references).

In addition, alerts can be configured to automatically notify responsible users when values change.

This module forms the semantic backbone of the entire platform.

Notifications Module – structured communication at the object level

The Notifications module enables the creation of messages directly in the context of an object, such as:

• Fault reports
• Defect notifications
• Maintenance requests
• Operational or service inquiries

Notifications are fully traceable, versioned, and can be linked to properties, documents, and contacts.

For public objects, even external users can submit notifications after simple authorization—directly via QR code scan.

Interactive Plans Module – spatial context for objects

The Interactive Plans module transforms static PDF drawings (e.g. floor plans, site plans, evacuation plans) into interactive information layers.

Key capabilities:

• Placing markers on plans
• Linking markers to objects
• One-click access to all object-related data

This adds spatial orientation to technical and operational data and is especially valuable in building and facility operations.

Contacts Module – clear responsibilities and relationships

The Contacts module manages all internal and external stakeholders in a structured way, including:

• Companies
• Individuals
• Authorities
• Service providers and partners

Contacts are described via contact types and properties and can be linked to objects, documents, and notifications.

This makes responsibilities, communication paths, and relationships transparent at all times.

How the modules work together – one consistent system

The real strength of AIRdBASE lies in the seamless interaction of its modules:

• Objects provide the central reference
• Properties ensure consistent data structures
• Documents deliver contextual information
• Notifications enable traceable communication
• Interactive Plans add spatial orientation
• Contacts define responsibilities and ownership

All modules operate on a single data model—without media breaks, redundancies, or system changes.

Conclusion

AIRdBASE is not a collection of isolated features. It is a coherent modular system.

Each module is intentionally simple on its own; together, they enable scalable, transparent, and practical digital management of assets, processes, and information across the entire lifecycle.
