01 / Lifecycle

How Nexus operates.

Asset to work order to close-out, with planning and capital decisions backed by real history.

01

Register.

Every chiller, AHU, pump, valve, and sensor in one registry with serial numbers, install dates, warranty, manuals, and spatial location. Imported from CAD, BIM, or BAS discovery.

02

Operate.

Work orders, PMs, calibration, inspections. Field-ready on tablet or phone. Offline capable. Closed out with photos, parts used, and time billed.

03

Plan.

Criticality scoring, failure-mode analysis, and 5-year capital forecasts driven by real condition data not depreciation tables.

02 / Modules

What Nexus does.

Fifteen integrated modules across asset management, work execution, capital planning, and spatial operations.

Asset Management

Asset Registry

Single source of truth for every piece of equipment. Hierarchy, location, condition, history, manuals, and warranty in one place.

Work Execution

Work Orders.

PM, CM, predictive, and inspection workflows. Mobile-first. Offline capable. Photos and parts in real time.

Capital Planning

Capital Planning.

5-year forecasts driven by condition data, criticality scores, and end-of-life modeling not straight-line depreciation.

Asset Management

Criticality.

Score every asset by mission-impact, redundancy, and replacement difficulty. Prioritize spend where it matters.

Compliance

Calibration.

NIST-traceable instrument calibration QMS. Audit-ready records. SOPs integrated.

Spatial

Spatial & CAD.

CAD-native. Import IFC, BIM, DWG. Place assets on floor plans. Link work orders to physical locations.

Spatial

Space Planning.

Renovation planning, area allocation, occupancy tracking. Link to asset and BAS data.

Integration

BACnet.

Native BACnet/IP discovery and point binding. Auto-build asset hierarchy from BAS topology.

Field Operations

Field Ops.

Tablet and phone interface for technicians. Barcode scan, photo capture, voice notes, time tracking.

Inventory

Inventory.

Parts catalog, stock levels, reorder triggers, and supplier integration. Tied to work order parts usage.

03 / Closed-Loop Operations

Signal identifies. Nexus responds.

When Signal flags a fault on AHU-3's supply fan, Nexus already knows the asset, its location, its maintenance history, and its parts inventory. One workflow from alarm to work order. No copy-paste between systems.

Most teams run building intelligence in one tool and asset management in another. Different vendors, different databases, different logins. A·IQ is one platform.

Real systems. Real config.

Three excerpts from how Nexus actually models your operations: an asset record, a work-order trigger, and a capital-planning rule.

05 / Security & Deployment

Your data. Your infrastructure.

On-premise by default. Cloud-deployable when required. Your facility data never leaves your network.

TLS everywhere, secrets in vault, row-level security on every query. Containerized and isolated so one service going down never takes the rest with it.

A·IQ is built by Arcis FM, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Set-aside eligible for federal contracts. CAGE 14DG6 · UEI Z95MQL2KEYG3.

06 / Reference

Common Questions.

Planner and operator questions on Nexus.

01

What is A·IQ Nexus?

Nexus is the asset and operations management half of the A·IQ platform CMMS, EAM, spatial, capital planning, and field execution in one on-premise system.

02

How is Nexus different from Maximo, eMaint, or Brightly?

Nexus is on-premise with unlimited users for one site license no per-user SaaS fees. It also pairs natively with Signal building intelligence so faults become work orders without integration work.

03

Does Nexus support our existing CAD and BIM files?

Yes. IFC, RVT, DWG, and DXF import is native. Place assets on floor plans, attach geometry, link work orders to spatial locations.

04

Can Nexus replace our spreadsheets and homegrown databases?

Yes. Most customers come off Excel-based PM trackers or aging Access databases. Bulk import from CSV, asset hierarchy auto-built from BACnet, work order history migrated.

05

Is calibration data audit-ready?

Yes. NIST-traceable calibration records, SOPs attached, certificate generation, and full audit trail. Designed for regulated environments.

06

How is Nexus deployed?

Docker Compose on-premise Linux. Pairs with Signal in the same infrastructure stack. Air-gap capable.

Run operations from one system.

Walk through a live Nexus instance with your asset register and work-order workflow. We will show you how to retire the spreadsheet, retire the per-seat SaaS bill, and unify your operations on one platform.
