Digitization opportunities in facility management
Facility management is under constant pressure: the department has to keep operations running smoothly and cost-effectively while managing complex projects. Important issues such as employee productivity are often neglected, resulting in facility management being perceived as a “janitor”.
With the LineMetrics monitoring platform, you can easily digitize your buildings. Record all building data wirelessly and live on a central platform. This allows you to optimize based on data and position facility management as a real competitive factor.
Challenges
- FM is seen purely as an administrative function and cost center
- High efficiency pressure leaves little time for new, strategic topics
- Digitalization and IoT as a great opportunity, but retrofitting too costly so far
The leading platform for existing buildings
Long-range wireless sensors record data for over 50 use cases. These are transmitted to the LineMetrics Cloud via mobile communications and can be analyzed there or transferred to other systems via API.
50+ use cases in one platform
Enough of isolated solutions! The LineMetrics modular system enables a wide variety of use cases to be combined and can be easily expanded at any time.
Complete system: sensor to cloud
LineMetrics combines measurement technology, data transmission, evaluation, data storage and much more in one. You only ever have one contact person for all questions.
Simply retrofit wirelessly
Wireless sensors and gateways with SIM cards make cables and IT superfluous. Simple, Europe-wide roll-out without reception problems.
Add to existing BMS at low cost
Add new measuring points and applications to your existing building management system: easy to integrate and inexpensive – also as a rental model.
Increase efficiency, reduce costs
Running operations as cost-effectively as possible is often the most important goal in facility management – most key figures/KPIs are cost-oriented. Building monitoring provides the necessary data and facts – seamlessly and in real time – that are needed to optimize operating costs.
- Optimize energy consumption
- Cleaning Services On-Demand
- Monitoring of external service providers
Proactive and digital in technical FM
Faults in elevators, heating or air conditioning systems are not only annoying, but also costly. Facility management often only finds out about them too late and then has to react quickly. With modern digital tools, you can monitor energy consumption, fault LEDs, control signals and noise in real time. This allows you to detect problems at an early stage, plan maintenance efficiently and minimize downtime.
- Remote monitoring of technical systems
- Predictive maintenance – predictive maintenance
Helping to shape the employee experience
Satisfied, productive and healthy employees are crucial to the company’s success. Even if senior management is often unaware of it, facility management makes a decisive contribution to this competitive factor. Monitoring enables objective monitoring of the relevant parameters as well as their optimization and complete logging.
Data-based planning and decision-making
Strategic questions, such as future space requirements in connection with conversions and extensions, often have to be answered without an objective basis for decision-making. Monitoring creates transparency and enables more detailed analyses and better forecasts for facility management. This creates trust at the highest company level.
- Recording the use of premises
- Analyze the utilization of desks
- Demand-oriented management of facility services
Reducing risks and liabilities
The operation of buildings and facilities entails considerable risks such as health problems, high costs, legal disputes and damage to your image. With effective risk management, you can minimize these risks and improve your planning and assessment.
- Prevent fire damage
- Recognizing and documenting the risk of mould
- Detect water ingress and leaks immediately
- Preventing legionella in drinking water
- Monitor doors/entrances
Everything in one facility management cockpit
All recorded data can be analyzed online in the LineMetrics Cloud and compared across locations. Verbesserungspotenziale und Probleme (Alarmierung per Email oder SMS) werden damit sofort sichtbar.
