Description

Innovation in FM is the introduction of a new product or process which delivers tangible and measurable benefits in terms of operational cost reductions, increased efficiency, and optimising building usage and performance. It is not merely process improvement. This is a holistic approach, looking at all angles of how we can be innovative in delivering FM.

Ian looks at Building Information Modelling and smart buildings, Automated Maintenance Software, Mobile Technology FM, drone usage, automation and robotics, space utilisation, flexible workspaces, service integration, collaboration and partnerships, longer term contracts, new enhanced technology, information knowledge share, sustainability, block chain technology and the advantages that innovation has brought to the building industry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The advantages of using the BIM system means a greater connection between the designers and the end users, efficient conflict detection and resolution, cost control and improved asset understanding.
• Automated Maintenance Software can be used to flag up falls in standard machine operations triggering maintenance procedures and fixes.
• Cleaning has already been automated in many ways by robotics but there is the possibility for the automations of maintenance , transport and repairs.
• Long term contracts encourage investment, greater outsourcing, flexibility, innovation, shared targets, goals and rewards and a greater understanding by the FM of the business strategies.
• Information knowledge sharing includes integrated systems that allow the client to fully see progress, web access to see real time data, thorough detailed management systems and reporting,  electronic certification and even social media.
• BlockChain Technology is an advanced system where you can use things like smart contracts, document management systems, enhanced visibility in buildings and save time and resources.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Basically it's the connecting of everything up through the internet. So we’ve got to monitor and manage staff remotely.’

‘An FM mobile app can capture all vital information, no paperwork. So this is to become an automated system and link back with your asset registers.’

‘It also enables better building life cycle cost to be reached and better efficiency of the whole building.’

‘Helping customers to achieve energy reduction. Focusing on ethical trading, waste management and recycling.’
