Technological advancements have played a significant role in enhancing integrated facility management services, especially the Internet of Things (IoT) systems that enable connectivity between devices and various technologies through the internet. This year, we will see even more technology applied to facility management services, including security systems, cleaning services, and the management of smart buildings and restrooms. IFS has identified three key technological trends that will transform facility management services in 2025:
1. Cloud-Based Technology
Cloud technology, with its storage capabilities connected to IoT devices, allows for real-time data recording and access. It enables quick and convenient data analysis, improving the overall efficiency of facility management.
IFS utilizes cloud systems combined with IoT sensors for smart washroom management. By installing occupancy sensors, people counter sensors, and ammonia sensors, data on restroom usage across different areas can be collected. This helps in planning cleaning schedules and managing stock more efficiently.
Furthermore, IFS’s electronic security systems also store data in the cloud. These systems include access control and visitor management systems, which store information about individuals and vehicles entering or exiting the premises, ensuring faster and more accurate verification, boosting the security service’s reliability.
2. AI Technology
AI technology has continuously evolved, enabling intelligent data analysis and processing. It is now widely applied across various industries, including facility management services, where AI-powered tools enhance precision and reduce limitations, improving service efficiency.
IFS uses intelligent cleaning robots equipped with AI technology. These robots, working with sensors, clean along predefined paths, avoid obstacles, and can navigate uneven surfaces. Additionally, robots store cleaning data, which users can access via a real-time dashboard to view reports and optimize cleaning performance.
For security, IFS has integrated AI with CCTV systems to improve image analysis. AI helps accurately differentiate between people, animals, and vehicles, reducing false alarms. Additionally, AI is applied in access control and license plate recognition systems for better surveillance and security management.
3. Biometric Technology
Biometric technology identifies individuals using physical traits such as fingerprints, palms, facial features, irises, retina patterns, or voice. It is an advanced security system that is highly accurate and difficult to forge.
IFS currently utilizes biometric technology through face scan systems for managing commercial building access (Access Control) and visitor management services (Visitor Management System). This enhances speed, accuracy, and security. Additionally, the system can include a blacklist of restricted individuals, ensuring greater safety for employees and assets.
As we can see, all three technologies are already transforming the facility management industry. It is expected that soon, many buildings will be upgraded to become smart buildings, fully utilizing technology to manage building operations.
IFS is an integrated facility management services provider that emphasizes excellence in service and technology. We are also committed to operating with ESG principles: Environment, Social, and Governance. Our business operations consider environmental impact, fair treatment of employees and partners, and transparent management to combat corruption, promoting sustainable growth for the organization.
