Migration

Your data is already the model.
It just lives in spreadsheets.

FacilityConnect turns the panel schedule and tool list your team already maintains into one living model of your build’s mechanical and electrical utilities — through an import as familiar as the files themselves.

Below: a single, unedited product run — two Excel files to a connected 3D model, about two minutes.

The problem this replaces

Designing the utility backbone of an advanced-manufacturing facility is one of the most complex data problems in construction. Thousands of tools, panels, and connection points — and on most builds, that data lives scattered across dozens of spreadsheets, passed between owner, designers, and trades, with no proper version control and no single source of truth. Every revision is a copy; every copy drifts.

FacilityConnect changes this: one living model that every change writes into. And the bridge from today’s world into that model is deliberately familiar — an Excel import. The workbooks your team already maintains are the way in.

What migration gets you

  • One source of truth. Owner, designers, and trades read the same current fact of the model — not the newest copy of a copy.
  • Your workbooks are the format. The spreadsheet you maintain today is the spreadsheet FacilityConnect reads — and re-importing it later updates the model instead of duplicating it.
  • Connected, not just stored. Panels land as a hierarchy, circuits become connection points at real coordinates, and demands are matched to them with computed distances — reviewable, never silent.
  • Configured from day one. Projects start from your organization template: disciplines, utility types, buildings, and custom fields arrive pre-set.

How migration works

  1. Send the two workbooks. The panel schedule and the tool list, as they are — our engineers map your columns onto the import template.
  2. We import and connect. Exactly what the walkthrough above shows: panels, tools, assignments, live in the 3D viewer.
  3. You work against the living model. When the tool list changes, the update is another upload — not another data-entry campaign.

Two spreadsheets in.

A living model out.

Nothing re-typed in between.

What the model unlocks

Migration is the doorway, not the destination. With the data connected, the same model drives optimized design runs — on a leading-edge logic fab, that meant:

Panels
500 not 700
vs the manual design of the same fab
Cable
$5M less
cable spend than the manual baseline
Configurations
Millions
evaluated on every optimization run

Questions we hear before every migration

What format does the import take?

Excel workbooks — one listing the electrical panels and their circuits, one listing the tools with their loads, sizes, and floor locations. FacilityConnect reads the workbook shape your team already maintains.

Our spreadsheets are messy. Is that a problem?

That’s the normal case. Our engineers map your columns onto the import template as part of the engagement — you send the files as they are.

What happens when the data changes?

Re-import the updated workbook. The model updates in place — assets are matched by name and revision, so a re-import updates rather than duplicates. That’s what keeps the model living instead of a snapshot.

Does this cover mechanical as well as electrical?

Yes. One model holds both — every system and piece of equipment comes out of one set of assumptions.

How much work is it on our side?

Sending the two workbooks. Today our engineers run the loop — there’s no software to buy and nothing to learn.

How long does migration take?

The import itself is minutes — the walkthrough above is an unedited two-minute run. The full engagement depends on how many systems and revisions your build carries; the mapping conversation is usually the long pole, not the import.

Have the two spreadsheets? That’s all we need.

Send us your panel schedule and tool list. Our engineers import them into FacilityConnect and return the connected, queryable model of your build — no software to buy, nothing to learn.
