Dassault Systèmes and Aden Group, one of the largest integrated facility management companies in Asia, have introduced a ready-to-use infectious disease hospital solution, Akila Care, in the Arab countries severely affected by COVID-19
This new initiative comes in the light of the successful world premiere of hospital experience in a couple of days in Wuhan, China and other countries.
The two companies worked together to develop new hospital engineering, construction and operation processes by leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE platform of Dassault Systèmes and the Akila Care Smart and Connected Hospital concept of Aden Group.
The solution relies on a virtual collaborative environment for the design, simulation and development of hospitals that can be built and operated within 150 days and remain operational for many years, as well as for the optimisation of their operation and maintenance throughout their entire life cycle. As part of the collaboration, the two companies have put together a consortium of companies specialising in medical equipment, engineering and construction to offer solutions to the countries most in need.
The hospital solution provides a virtual collaborative environment in which employees and suppliers are invited to use a virtual twin of a hospital to optimise space planning, module design, negative pressure isolation rooms and other features, simulate manufacturing and equipment, and train for its construction. After the hospital is built, the solution will be used for digital asset management by connecting the facility with medical equipment to monitor digitalised hygiene procedures and hospital floor robots.
“Aden’s Akila Care novel and proven approach to outcome-based facility management call for modular, smart and connected facilities designed and built with an advanced manufacturing approach. The modularity and operation-centred facilities can only be made possible with a holistic, integrated, end-to-end virtual twin experience of the outcome. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is the catalyst and enabler of such radical transformation, making our alliance a showcase for the future delivery of mission-critical infrastructure,” said Olivier Ribet, executive vice-president, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Russia (EMEAR), Dassault Systèmes.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform of Dassault Systèmes is used throughout the Middle East and North Africa by customers of all sizes, including a large number of academic institutions, who have recognised their business value and their ability to enable the workforce of the future.
