Optimize your operations by collecting, processing, and analyzing data about indoor locations
Location-based insights come from having geospatial data and processing it to gain value. Indoor data collection is a scalable process for increasing the information at your organization's fingertips to guide reactive action, while indoor analytics is the forward-thinking practice of synthesizing the data to extract high-value strategic and tactical planning.
Asset status, locations and characteristics, interior building information, floor plan layouts, maintenance history, occupancy and space usage, and indoor analytics from positioning systems are all valuable forms of indoor data. This data can be used as is to guide workers in the field to more efficient problem resolution, or analyzed at a macro level to gather insights that inform better facilities management and space utilization decisions.
Having crews navigate to assets across an area or dealing with massive volumes of assets in a facility is a challenge. The first step is to collect the spatial location and status of each asset. Indoor data collection with a location-based approach ties any information to that asset.
Inefficiency has a cost, and crews out servicing work orders or managing asset health don't have time to struggle with outdated maps or inaccurate information. Supplying the people on the ground with solid indoor data wherever they are leads to better facilities management.
Outdated processes and paper-based workflows are hindering productivity in organizations—especially when it comes to facilities management. Digital transformation is combating this with innovative approaches to managing all workflows in a single, accessible location.
Indoor analytics and data sharing with location as a core organizing principle across teams helps individuals to make better decisions and respond quickly to issues, with the right information in the right moment.
Using indoor mapping to have location data about assets is one part of the future of smarter facilities management. Indoor geospatial analytics provides detailed insights from indoor location data from things like service time optimization, dwell time, proximity analysis, asset location allocation, occupancy, and other space utilization elements to make informed decisions about building management. This leads to more informed operations decisions and better user experience in facilities.
Structured location data about assets in your facilities is imperative to developing a deeper understanding of your built environment though analysis. This understanding leads to more empowerment for boots-on-the-ground workers to execute their jobs more efficiently and proactively add to the data collection and management process. On the building occupant side, this can be used to identify things like first aid kit locations, defibrillators, printers, kiosks, and more. This data management consists of asset locations, maintenance history, facility conditions, use patterns, and more for comprehensive analysis and action.
