In a rapidly evolving landscape of digital transformation and sustainability, companies like Augment are equipping facility management professionals with the tools needed efficiently manage their facilities. Augment’s flagship platform, Wiretwin, combines the power of digital twins with user-friendly interfaces to enhance operational efficiency and data utilization in building management. A key chapter in Augment’s journey has been its collaboration with Schroeder & Associés, a well-respected engineering fim in Luxembourg. Together, they are setting the stage for new standards in facility management through technology and collaboration.

Schroeder & Associés, established in 1961, is a pillar of engineering excellence in Luxembourg, specializing in structural design and infrastructure projects. The firm employs around 450 professionals, delivering high-quality solutions across urban development, technical consulting, and project management. Recognized for its innovative spirit, Schroeder has embraced digital transformation by integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) into its operations. With ambitions to expand into Operations and Maintenance (O&M), the company found a natural partner in Augment, whose mission aligns closely with Schroeder’s vision for the future of engineering and sustainable development.

A Catalyst for Collaboration: The 2022 Luxembourg City Incubator Reverse Pitch Event

The partnership’s origins trace back to the Luxembourg City Incubator’s reverse pitch event in 2022. Here, Thierry Flies of Schroeder & Associés outlined the company’s desire to transition their BIM expertise into the O&M sphere. This vision caught the attention of Augment CEO Rida Klink, leading to discussions that quickly evolved into a collaboration. As part of an initial pilot, Schroeder provided the BIM model of their office for integration into the Wiretwin platform. This shared effort culminated in a major milestone when Schroeder officially signed on as Augment’s client, cementing a partnership built on mutual trust and forward-thinking innovation.

Innovation Days 2024: Showcasing Visionary Solutions

The partnership reached new heights during Innovation Days 2024, hosted at Schroeder & Associés' headquarters in Kockelscheuer. This event brought together pioneering startups and industry leaders to explore sustainable, data-driven solutions for the future. Augment’s presentation highlighted Wiretwin’s features, demonstrating how the platform integrates with BIM systems to deliver digital twins of facilities. From optimizing asset management to enhancing technician workflows, Augment underscored its role in driving operational excellence and sustainability in the industry.
