Automate Building Processes

Functions like energy-usage management and sanitation are manual operations in traditional building management. Smart facility solutions automate these processes by combining sensor input and machine learning with connectivity and analytics. With IoT-based facilities management, these functions can be prescheduled and adjusted for maximum efficiency.

More Information

What is smart facilities management?

Facilities management is the management of people, processes and physical systems in the built environment. It can include:

  • Maintenance
  • Communication
  • Labor management
  • Project management
  • Emergency procedures and response

To manage these responsibilities, facility managers are turning to smart technology. Typical systems benefiting from smart facility solutions are:

  • Facility maintenance
  • Access and security systems
  • Fire and safety prevention systems
  • HVAC systems

 

How does the deviceWISE IoT platform help facility managers to track and monitor assets, energy use and occupancy?

deviceWISE empowers facility managers with comprehensive tracking and monitoring:

  • Asset tracking: Real-time location tracking via various technologies helps locate equipment. This ability can improve inventory management and reduce loss. Geofencing can secure valuable assets and trigger alerts for unauthorized movement.
  • Energy use monitoring: Integration with smart meters and sensors provides granular data on electricity, water and gas consumption. This enables energy inefficiency identification and HVAC and lighting system optimization.
  • Occupancy monitoring: Utilizing sensors and analytics, deviceWISE CLOUD can track building occupancy levels in different zones. This data can be used to optimize space utilization and improve HVAC and lighting control based on actual presence.

How do IoT solutions drive efficiencies in smart facilities management?

IoT solutions drive efficiencies in smart facilities management by leveraging real-time data from connected devices to optimize building systems and processes. Here are some key benefits:

  • Energy management: IoT sensors adjust lighting and HVAC systems based on occupancy, reducing energy waste and costs.
  • Predictive maintenance: Continuous monitoring predicts maintenance needs, preventing unexpected breakdowns and extending asset lifespan.
  • Enhanced security: Integrating IoT with security systems provides continuous monitoring and instant alerts.
  • Improved air quality: Sensors monitor and adjust ventilation to maintain optimal indoor air quality.
  • Remote management: Facility managers can monitor and manage systems remotely, allowing quick responses to issues.
  • Data-driven decisions: Analyzing data from IoT devices helps identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions.
