Implementing IoT and automation in the FM and services industry will benefit it from increasing labour costs as well as collaborative networking systems, says Vyshak Gopinath, manager – projects & solutions at Adeptus Technologies. He adds: “Building maintenance and operation will change. Breakthroughs in technology will change the way buildings are operated and maintained. These new technologies will create skill gaps that FM and services industry companies will have to address to maintain the optimal level of business performance.”
In addition, Gopinath says that a manager will develop better understanding of buildings. “The use of the Internet of Things and ambient intelligence will allow managers to develop a much better understanding of how people are using buildings, leading to new maintenance approaches, better designs, and more productive spaces.”
