IoT and smart buildings are becoming the norm for businesses and commercial real estate portfolios. System faults and failures, water leaks and further issues don’t stick to 9-5 schedules. Connected buildings streamline management and operate more efficiently, which is particularly important for facilities maintenance.
Tapping into the power of real-time data holds extensive benefits for businesses. From powerful predictive capabilities to expedited interventions and advanced long-term strategy, less is left to chance. The Voltix Services team uses strategically placed IoT sensors for live building and equipment monitoring. We get alerts whenever there are unusual readings, which means we can intervene ASAP to minimise damage and cost – and prevent downtime. This drives precision maintenance and significantly reduces risk.
Wireless Sensors
Sensors and devices are installed throughout the facility to monitor a range of metrics, including:
- Temperature and humidity
- Energy consumption
- Equipment status
- Occupancy levels
- Air quality
- Flood and leak detection
- Vibration
Data Collection and Analytics
Using the internet or a local network, data is collected and transmitted to other sensors, devices and central management systems. These cloud-based platforms enable real-time data analysis for instant interventions and long-term, data-driven strategies.
Centralised Smart Building Management
Centralised dashboards are a hub from which we monitor the status of all connected devices, receive alerts and manage maintenance activities. The Voltix Services team sets pre-defined conditions based on specific focus areas. Whenever the IoT wireless sensors detect undesirable deviations from the norm, an automatic alert is triggered. This allows for immediate interventions that can avoid or minimise damage and costs.
Smart building technology has revolutionised the management of even complex, multi-site commercial buildings and, with it, the tenant experience. The data collected by IoT and smart buildings provide full transparency for landlords, as well as compliance reporting.
These innovations support precision maintenance with a considerable reduction in risk, guesswork and the time and cost of manual processes. Real-time data insights into system performance empower early fault detection and optimal maintenance of critical building systems. Together with smart meters and AMI, these connected environments are geared towards greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and resilience.
