Why ZAi?

ZAi learns from every map. Smarter insights for you and your AI.

ZAi is more than a platform—it's a paradigm shift in facility intelligence. By integrating real-time data, Ai-driven insights, and comprehensive building information, ZAi empowers proactive facility management and emergency response as a Digital Twin.

Live building plans and space management
AI-driven interaction: Talk to your building, your assets, your emergencies
Mobile-first for the field, full-power for the command center
Real-time sensor integration for risk and operations
From daily work orders to emergency response
Open systems: your data, your control
Temporal Intelligence: Building plans & spaces that can tell time
A Digital Twin System of Systems that actually connects ... to other systems. Imagine that!

Maps and Location

Under the hood: ZAi’s deep-learning brain turns your maps and plans into actionable intelligence.

What Are MAPS in ZAiMAP?

In ZAiMAP, “maps” aren’t just drawings; they’re the intelligence behind digital twins. From city-scale maps, building floor plans, campus layouts, and business process flows, MAPS provides context, relationships, and patterns that raw data can’t. This spatial and logical mapping powers our AI, apps, and user experience. ZAiMAP turns complexity into clarity across any scale.

Asset & Infrastructure Management

Tools for tracking and maintaining assets of all types

Visualize, Manage, and Optimize Your Facilities

The SMART module within the ONUMA ecosystem transforms static building data into dynamic, interactive digital twins.

Integrating real-time sensor inputs and asset information provides a comprehensive view of facility operations. We enable stakeholders, from technicians to managers, to access live maps and dashboards, facilitating proactive maintenance, efficient space utilization, and informed decision-making. Your facilities become more than just structures; they evolve into intelligent environments that support resilience, safety, and operational excellence.

ZAi On Any Device

No Software to Install - Runs on Mobile and Desktops

Powered by ONUMA, ZAi redefines how you see, manage, and protect your facilities, assets, and people — in daily operations, in emergencies, and for the future.

Whether you're an owner, operator, planner, or first responder, ZAiMAP connects you directly to live building intelligence:
floor plans, shutoffs, assets, sensors, structural risks, energy, and operations — all mapped and accessible in real time.

ZAiMAP builds on ONUMA’s decades of leadership — but pushes forward with a new urgency:
Operational Awareness. Risk Management. Resilience. NOW.

Emergency Preparedness & Response

Be Prepared for Storms, Floods, Fire, Earthquakes and Other Disasters

In emergencies, every second counts. Yet, many buildings leave first responders navigating blindly, risking lives due to inaccessible or outdated information. ZAiMAP transforms your facility into a proactive partner, delivering data, floor plans, hazard zones, occupancy details, directly on maps to those who need it most, on a map.

For building owners, this isn't just about convenience; it's a commitment to safety, a reduction in liability, and a step toward smarter, more resilient infrastructure.

Add ZAiMAP to your property and proactively mitigate emergencies!

Why Time Changes Everything

Here is a missed opportunity with most digital twins and BIMs: Time associated with maps!

Without real-time and historical context, you’re not managing change, you’re managing a snapshot. ZAi’s TIME module brings schedules, events, and sensors into a complete operational picture, making your twin truly dynamic.

Smarter ZAi Assets

Modern facilities demand more than static records—they require dynamic, data-driven insights. The Smarter Assets module integrates real-time sensor data, IoT devices, and automation tools to provide a comprehensive view of your building's operations. From energy consumption to occupancy patterns, gain actionable intelligence that empowers proactive maintenance, enhances sustainability, and optimizes asset performance. Transform your facility into an intelligent ecosystem that actively anticipates and responds to issues.

The ZAi Story

ZAi (pronounced “zai,” rhyming with “eye”) draws from multiple layers of Chinese and Japanese characters, each touching a core part of facility and asset management:

A to Z — managing everything from assets to emergencies.
Z to A — thinking in reverse to anticipate, prevent, and protect.
Ai — integrating artificial intelligence into facility operations, insight, and response.
Meaning — "ZAi" draws from multiple layers of Chinese and Japanese characters, each touching a core part of facility and asset management:
- 在 ("Existence" or "Presence") — Being exactly where you are, fully aware.
- 財 ("Wealth" or "Assets") — Recognizing the true value hidden inside your buildings.
- 材 ("Materials") — Understanding the structure, resources, and vulnerabilities around you.

Together, ZAi represents presence, intelligence, value, and action — exactly what ZAiMAP empowers you to deliver.

Interoperability and Open Standards

Not all “smart” building solutions are created equal. Without open standards, clear ownership of data, and true interoperability, you risk locking your assets, and your future, inside someone else’s system.

At ONUMA, we’ve spent decades building open, connected platforms that scale from floor plans to full digital twin ecosystems. But we’ve also seen how easily owners can get trapped by closed platforms that promise the future and deliver a silo.

That’s why we’ve prepared a free two-page Mini Roadmap for facility owners.
