Infrastructure Renewal Intelligence System
Imagine one platform that captures your full asset inventory, tracks lifecycle costs, flags high-risk assets, and defines the financial plans needed to sustain service delivery. Planning and budgeting just got easier—that’s IRIS.
What is IRIS?
Whether you’re in the field or the boardroom, IRIS delivers tailored information to every team member—from maintenance crews to executives—empowering them to make informed decisions.
IRIS uses the latest data to calculate the remaining life of thousands of asset, identifying when replacements are needed, how much they will cost, and the risks involved. By consolidating asset renewal needs, year-by-year and asset-by-asset, IRIS provides a comprehensive understanding of annual budget required for asset replacement, rehabilitation, and maintenance.
With its financial module, IRIS helps you explore different budget scenarios and allowing you to understand the impact of your decisions on work backlogs, business risk exposure, and replacement funds. It’s a smarter way to plan for the future, reduce risks, and ensure long-term sustainability.
IRIS works with your existing tech stack
Kayuga’s IRIS (Infrastructure Renewal Intelligence System) is a cloud-based asset management decision-support software. Residing in the Microsoft Azure Cloud, IRIS provides reliable and secure multi-user access with the flexibility to accommodate any database size and processing power requirements.
IRIS compliments your existing information systems to create a comprehensive asset management system. GIS shows where your assets are located, CMMS records the activities (e.g., inspection, maintenance, rehabilitation, replacement) performed on the assets, and the financial system (e.g., ERP) records the project costs and human resource information.
Key Functionalities
IRIS streamlines asset management with rapid data processing, intuitive infographics, and seamless GIS/CMMS integration. Centralizing data into IRIS ensures that it is accurate, accessible, and ready to support informed decisions-making.
GIS Mapping
By seamlessly integrating with GIS, IRIS maps your assets to give you holistic view of what you own and manage. Through asset visualization, you can quickly locate your assets, track conditions, and communicate infrastructure needs clearly.
Data Management
With built-in tools for asset analysis, IRIS helps clients assess condition, risk, and lifecycle needs—empowering them to plan strategically and budget effectively for maintenance, upgrades, and long-term investments.
Financial Planning
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Designed to support long-term sustainability, IRIS offers robust financial planning and modeling tools that help clients assess lifecycle costs, evaluate funding strategies, and build data-driven capital plans with confidence.
Life Cycle History
Budget Scenario Analysis
Through advanced scenario analysis, IRIS enables organizations to explore and compare multiple budget scenarios to understand the long-term impacts of funding decisions. By modeling different investment levels, IRIS shows how budget affects asset condition and risk over time.
IRIS tracks the full life cycle of each asset by recording replacements, condition assessments, and rehabilitations into a single, evolving record. This visibility enables organizations to plan proactively by optimizing replacement timing and gain a better understanding of asset performance.
Risk Management
By analyzing asset condition, likelihood of failure, and consequence of failure, IRIS highlights where risk is highest and where investment will have the greatest impact. This enables data-driven prioritization, smarter capital planning, and confident decision-making so limited resources are directed to the assets that matter most.
API Connection
IRIS uses API (Application Programming Interface) to communicate with existing CMMS, GIS, Financial, and other expert systems or databases (e.g., CCTV, SCADA, LIMS). Where API is not available, IRIS can use Kayuga’s Konnect module, a middleware, to read data from other data sources (e.g., Excel, CSV).
System Customization
IRIS is customizable to meet each client’s unique needs, offering specific applications and dashboards that align with client needs. Whether its a custom application to manage ADA requirements or specialized dashboards for executive reporting, IRIS adapts to support your goals.
