Enhance your facility management & processes with IoT

Blog

With the advancing technology, it is only right to say that the right tool for better

performance, efficiency and economical solution is the Internet of Things. With the advent

of IoT, various devices have been developed to continuously monitor remotely, optimize

energy consumption and integrate facilities management. IoT has revolutionized the way

facility management was handled so far and has made the process more convenient than

ever!

Facility management services spend about 30% more on energy costs and 15% more on

maintenance costs, due to inefficiency. However with IoT solutions, facility management

has become more adaptable and offers huge scope for inter-connectivity. IoT powered

facilities management has proven its scope with a stupendous annual growth of 12.1% in

five years.

What is facilities management? Facilities Management is anything to do with building

management – space allocation, tenant association, maintenance management,

environmental control, security controls, communications and much more. Energy

consumption, tenant management, and security concerns have pushed facilities towards

IoT. Here is how IoT has changed facilities management forever:

1. Embedded sensors – Sensors installed into the building’s systems such as HVAC

systems, lights, doors, windows and buildings help analyze energy consumption and

enable optimization of the resources used. These IoT sensors also help monitor and

collect data of the number of people accessing the premises, the data which can be

utilized later for planning and spec.

2. Usage of micro-transmitters – Beacons were of great help in sending promotional

messages to customers. Beacons, can now help in capturing real-time feedback,

customer’s preferences, send alerts and monitor challenges to proactively resolve real

time issues.

3. Reaping Savings – IoT devices can help monitor lighting and climate control. This real time monitoring helps collate data on the working space condition and improve the

wellbeing of the tenants. These devices can be programmed to maintain optimum

circulation, thereby preventing any problem. Apart form the energy savings, resources are

also used optimally. The state of the art sensors help assess the actual demand and

activity levels in the building, thereby eliminating the need for extra man power at all times.

4. Predictive Analysis – IoT sensors installed in various parts of the building send

feedback in real-time. This data is then analyzed and documented to make predictions on

the service and maintenance of the building infrastructure. This ensures intervention

before the actual issue crops up.

The world is constantly improvising and it is time to adapt to the changing demands. With

social media spreading news rapidly, good or bad, IoT helps you stay on top of your game

and spread your fame by arresting issues proactively!
