How predictive maintenance transforms facility management

“Anticipating challenges before they arise is the hallmark of true innovation. In facility management, predictive maintenance doesn’t just prevent failures; it propels us into a future of seamless operations and unparalleled efficiency.”

Facility or facilities management teams have the challenge of ensuring functionality, comfort, safety, sustainability and efficiency of the Building and Infrastructure – the spaces we live and work in and their surrounding infrastructure. Building services engineering comprises mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and plumbing or public health engineering, all of which are further sub-divided into :

• Low voltage (LV) systems, distribution boards and switchgear
• Lightning protection
• Energy supply – gas, electricity and renewable sources
• Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
• Escalators and lifts
• Communication lines, telephones and IT networks (ICT)
• Fire detection and protection
• Security and alarm systems
• Water, drainage and plumbing
• Natural lighting and artificial lighting, and building facades

Facility management teams need to undertake periodic maintenance routines for regular and routine testing of physical assets to reduce the chances of equipment failure, unplanned breakdowns, and downtime. These practices are critical for all sorts of Building and Infrastructure segments such as Commercial Buildings, SEZ, STP, Large Residential Infrastructure, Hospitals, Hotels, Data centres, Telecom, Airport, Insurance & Investment firms for their Assets Service and leasing services division.

Unplanned downtime is expensive, and revenue is lost by the minute with each random machine breakdown. Monitoring and maintaining these systems, services, and devices requires accurate testing and measurement technologies.
