How Farnek uses tech for maintenance in aviation

UAE-based smart and green facilities management (FM) company Farnek has been implementing technology in various sectors that the company caters to. Talking particularly about maintenance and the role of tech in the aviation sector, Javeria Aijaz, managing director, HITEK - the newly formed smart FM technology solutions company, says: "FM plays a major role in maintaining aviation facilities, for both hard and soft services. CMMS/CAFM are the default technologies that support FM to activate the strategy of effective asset management, manpower planning and inventory management. But the recent advancements in technology has supplemented traditional FM support, to deal with the critical challenges. Monitoring and analysing data to identify trends is most important. Through Internet of Things (IoT), measuring energy, flow, temperature, humidity, and especially footfall, across various locations and assets provide invaluable knowledge that supports cost-effective and efficient FM schedules for both manpower and asset management."

Farnek has successfully activated its Smart Watch technology to enable the communication and tracking of the ground staff to support its efficient services delivery, particularly when carrying out trolley management responsibilities.
