Property Data / CAFM
Property data forms the basis for the operation and management of GSI properties. GSI property data is collected in a structured manner in various systems, classified, evaluated as required, and made available for further processes at GSI.
Property data and the associated IT systems are developed and operated by CAM.

CAFM / Room Database (pitFM)
Room and property data is centrally managed in the CAFM system pitFM and linked to campus and building plans. Master data is available in high quality and can be used for strategic evaluations and area reporting at any time.
The GSI room database (pitFM) is the "single point of truth" for all property, building, and room data. GSI subsystems that work with this data are (to be) linked to the central room database.
Available data from the database includes (selection):
- Property and cadastral information
Address, land area data, ownership status - Building numbers and designations (GSI/FAIR)
Age, number of floors, areas according to DIN 277 - Floor numbers and designations (with links to CAD floor plans)
Accessibility, heights, areas according to DIN 277 - Room numbers and designations (with links to CAD floor plans)
Areas and heights, usage types (RNA), responsible organizational unit (RVO), and more
For further details refer to the German version of this page or contact us.
Strategic complex evaluations of the data can be created at short notice. Please contact us to discuss scope and objective so that we can compile a targeted evaluation for you.

Plant data (SAP PM / EPLAN)
Plant data is maintained in different systems to organize maintenance, repairs and other processes.
- Supply systems are maintained in SAP PM (water, wastewater, gas, ventilation, air conditioning/cooling systems, etc.)

- Some Electrical systems (e.g., sub-distribution boards) are maintained in pitFM

Area reporting
As part of area reporting, standardized, GSI-wide area reports for the entire campus are prepared three times a year.
Additional reports, e.g., on area types, area users, and workplaces, can be compiled at short notice. They serve as internal information and form the basis for strategic decisions in project development or space and area management.

FAIR Data Migration
FAIR uses pitFM as a planning database (PDB) to collect and validate all property, room, and plant data from the planning and construction process.
As part of the commissioning process, a migration of pitPDB (FAIR) and pitFM (GSI) is planned. Data can then be transferred to other systems (e.g., SAP PM).

Glossary Property Data
Special terms and abbreviations are used in the pitFM room database and in area management. Please refer to the German version of this page or contact us for further information. Additionally, selected terms and abbreviations used above are explained here:
- RNA (Room usage type)
The RNA is a standard catalog for room functions and usages. It is based on DIN 277 and expanded upon according to the requirements of GSI/FAIR. The aim is to enable evaluations of rooms with the same function regardless of their respective designation. RVOs or other characteristics can be derived from the RNA.
The RNA consists of a number code and a designation. The number code contains the assignment according to DIN 277 and a detailed assignment according to GSI/FAIR specification as well as a clear name for the room usage type (e.g., "NUF2.1 Office" or "TF8.4 Electrical Power Supply"). A list of GSI RNAs with explanations can be found here (PDF, German). - RVO (Responsible Organizational Unit)
The RVO specifies the ORG unit that is primarily responsible for the use and organizational operation of a room. Each room is assigned an RVO. If rooms are used by several ORG units, coordination is required to determine the leading unit and thus the RVO. The RVO is used, among other things, to define responsibilities regarding risk and hazard assessment as well as laboratory and research operations. RVOs are also used for evaluations in space and area management (office and usable floor space).
The RVO consists of the GSI ORG path and a clear name of the organization (e.g., "GSI>GF>KGF>FAM>CAM Campus Development").
Various other properties are defined and maintained, e.g., for space and area types, workplaces, enclosed electrical operating areas and many more.
