Digital Operations
DIGITIZATION OF BUILDING OPERATIONS – TOWARDS REAL ESTATE EXCELLENCE
Tomorrow’s buildings will manage operations autonomously – and in a way that optimizes energy efficiency, of course. They will monitor all operationally relevant systems, plant & equipment, and even interact with other buildings in the same district. But this vision of the future requires operations to be fully digitized.
Implementation will cost too much and take too long – can we afford digitization? Our buildings are analog – is it even possible to digitize them? The different systems are not compatible – how do we harmonize them?
When it comes to digital building operations, doubts often cause analysis paralysis. Start by identifying and addressing the potential benefits.
You first need a coordinated IT landscape to secure your future viability and competitiveness. And it’s important to bear in mind that the digital operations paradigm applies to your established buildings as well as to new ones. It is also important to focus on users and benefits throughout the process.
Digital operations – Why digitized building operations pays off
Completely digitized and fully automated building operations saves personnel, energy and materials. All relevant data is available when needed. So digital building operations allows a much better focus on the user than operations based on manual processes.
