Digitization and Automation in Facility Management

The economic conditions and ravaged markets are a testament to the magnitude of the situation of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has put the spotlight on the facility management (FM) services, with a focus on cleaning, disinfection and sanitisation. As health and hygiene standards are witnessing major attention, the need for facility management has escalated to serve the same. Facility management companies are implementing the learning from other countries, ahead of the curve in handling COVID situations by introducing best practices, technology and innovative solutions.

Technology-Driven Methods in FM:

The industry requires the integration of the right tools and technologies that can enable facilities to achieve optimum efficiency, with an emphasis on hygiene and health protection through contactless and automated operations. Facility management companies worldwide are deploying varied technologies like IoT (Internet of Things), SaaS (Space as a service), smart sensors, QR code reading, Robotic and Mechanized cleaning, and beacons to leverage innovation in commercial, industrial, and residential spaces.

Integrated Digital Services

The internet of things (IoT), robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), smart building/smart workplace sensors and digitization are changing how and where people work. As a result of technological advancement, SILA introduced its proprietary software - SILA Connect that helps users to automate things at their fingertips. SILA Connect includes everything right from occupancy monitoring to ensure social distancing, real-time checklists, digital signages, cloud-based visitor management and much more.

Energy Management:

Facility managers can bring energy efficiency and sustainability to new levels with smart building technology. SILA focuses primarily on energy management and recommends the best-fit solutions for a sustainable space with complete site and energy analysis.

Compliance - which requires ensuring that everything in and around the building and offices adheres to government legislation and applicable security requirements, is one of the key aspects of the FM industry. Our proprietary software SILA Connect helps us with compliance management which further translates in higher efficiency of work by withdrawing traditional paperwork and manual systems.
