Smart Facilities

Facilities are used for various purposes today. Manufacturing, business, tourism and shopping centers, power plants, health or educational institutions, transportation complexes and data centers serve different needs and are managed by different processes. Most of these facilities have spread their services over 24 x 7 to adapt to both modern life and economic conditions and have kept up with the information age by widely using Information Technologies managed Infrastructure. If not yet, they will undergo this transformation over time to sustain the asset value. Therefore, Smart Facilities have information technology dependencies and this dependency will increase over time.

In Smart Facilities, human interactions are minimized and productivity is provided in autonomous  operation while values presented to the tenants such as comfort, safety and health are provided in service manner in a personalized way. Also the product and service value chain activities collocated in the facility are supported at the highest level in order to maintain the business productivity. The facility’s high efficiency and low carbon footprint performances are also very important criteria to be complied.

Digitization of product and service value chain using information technologies minimizes human interaction. The productivity of the value chain is strongly dependent not only on the process automation but also the facility infrastructure where they are accommodated. When services such as energy, power distribution, chilled or hot water, conditioned and fresh air, safety and protection are experiencing downtimes, the value chain process can be affected so the business continuity of the product and service value chain. These events may result high production and service effort losses, including loss of prestige of the company.

The end-to-end management of facilities’ “Energy Usage and Consumption” under various environmental and requirement conditions is vital for the profitability and environmental compliance of the business. Such savings should not impact the quality of product and service value chain within the facility.
