Why the Future of Facilities Management is Now: Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence

It’s no surprise that facilities management comes at a cost. From the big cities to the suburbs, and even right here in Aventura, successfully managing can be expensive and time-consuming. 

This is why many managers, like their counterparts in other sectors, are at the forefront of employing new technologies to help curb this cost and the duration of duties. Of these new technologies, artificial intelligence is at the head of the pack for uniqueness and utility, with many claiming that AI is the future of facilities management. And in many instances, that future is happening right now. 

Read on to see some of the ways that business and property owners are revolutionizing their management game and maximizing their profits with the help of this innovative technology.

Understanding AI 

It’s important to understand just what the term AI encompasses. You may hear the term “AI” and think of a Stephen Spielberg film. Or maybe you’re at a loss for what the term means, like 17% of polled senior business leaders were in 2017. But artificial intelligence is so much more than scary robots or all-knowing computers. 

Often, simple, data-driven software is at the core of AI. Another way of putting it is this: artificial intelligence is the machine-led completion of tasks that would have previously required human assistance, and is becoming more common, and subtle, than one might think.  

Because of its wide range of application, AI is becoming increasingly popular in multiple diverse sectors. Here are some of the top ways AI is changing the landscape of facilities management. 

The Design of Buildings

From planning phases to completion, software-based artificial intelligence is actively altering the way the facilities themselves are designed and constructed. AI allows for better use of space and safer designs that then in turn allow for more efficient management. 

Day to Day Operations

Companies like Google and buildings like Amsterdam’s The Edge employ AI to collect and monitor data onsite. Such data collection allows property managers to then better their business by eliminating energy and utility waste and streamline their operations.

 Managers find themselves with more time to focus on other tasks and customer interactions due to the ease of these self-optimized systems. This not only benefits managers but also increases occupant satisfaction. 

Increasing Revenue 

Because of the proficiency of AI-driven data collection, managers are better able to see the big picture when it comes to trends in consumption and company analytics; in return, they can alter operations to maximize profit. Cushman and Wakefield’s Facilities Solutions identifies the following ways that artificial intelligence can help increase revenue streams:

• Reducing Energy Use
• Enhancing “Preventative Maintenance Planning”
• Identifying Potential Risks and Problems

Predicting Cleaning Needs

Another less-known advantage of AI is the ability to predict a building’s cleaning needs. Many facilities have spaces that are used more regularly than others—  and therefore require more routine cleaning. 

Artificial intelligence, in the form of sensors, can track and log this information. This also provides janitorial staff with more details on the condition of certain spaces so that they can plan their services accordingly. 

Not Quite Ready to Employ AI?

With or without the use of AI, you can make intelligent decisions when it comes to your building’s cleaning requirements. By outsourcing your janitorial needs, you save time and money that you can use elsewhere. 

Here are some of the top ways your business can benefit from a commercial cleaning service:

• Provide a visual representation of your work ethic for clients 
• Attract potential customers with clean and aesthetically-pleasing spaces
• Increase employee productivity and mood
• Better maintain expensive investments, like carpeting, resulting in fewer replacement needs
• Provide a safer, healthier environment for all

Finding the Right Commercial Cleaning Service 

To save both time and money, you will want to find a company that is vetted, available, affordable, and provides all of the services you need. The last thing you want is to have to hire multiple companies to accomplish all of your cleaning goals. 

With over two decades of experience under our belt, All Building Cleaning Corp. has been the top choice for Aventura businesses when it comes to janitorial needs. We offer the following services:

• Window, carpet, and floor maintenance
• Emptying trash

Additionally, we can provide cleaning needs specific to you and your business.
