Project background


TTI is a leading tool manufacturer in Dongguan. Faced with rising maintenance demands and operational inefficiencies, the client needed a smart facilities management solution that could optimize performance while reducing costs.

To address these challenges, Aden implemented a smart Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) strategy, including digital twin technology and real-time monitoring systems, ensuring seamless operations and long-term sustainability.

Let’s explore how Aden’s smart IFM solutions delivered measurable improvements in equipment uptime, energy savings, and operational reliability.

Smart IFM: digital solutions for operational excellence


Aden’s approach centered on digitization and predictive maintenance to transform the facility’s operations.

Aden Services provided a comprehensive range of services to ensure the facility’s optimal performance. The HVAC system underwent annual maintenance to guarantee efficiency and reliability, while the power supply and distribution systems were managed with regular upkeep to maintain uninterrupted operations. The compressed air system was equipped with real-time monitoring and ambitious improvement plans, leading to significant cost savings. Additionally, the team handled all aspects of building maintenance, including walls, doors, windows, roof structures, and drainage systems, as well as maintaining a robust firefighting system to ensure safety compliance.

Deliver these services effectively

Aden deployed an on-site team of 28 dedicated professionals, complemented by remote support from experts in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. The entire operation was built on a fully digital model, leveraging digital twin technology from contract initiation through daily operations. This approach ensured transparency, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making at every stage of the project.

Key achievements

1. Operational Efficiency:

  • Managed thousands of maintenance requests within SLA.
  • Restored 98% equipment availability within the first few months.

2. Cost and Energy Savings:

  • 16% reduction in energy consumption.
  • 6% reduction in water usage.
  •  24+ RMB yearly savings from compressed air system improvements.

3. Client Satisfaction:

  • 99.8% of requests received 5-star ratings from the client.
  • Digital reporting enabled transparent monthly and yearly performance reviews.

A blueprint for manufacturing excellence

This project demonstrates how smart IFM solutions can breathe new life into aging industrial facilities. Aden’s combination of on-site expertise, digital tools, and energy-saving initiatives delivered measurable results, proving that even the most challenging environments can achieve operational excellence.
