Digital Transformation

2021 will be a very significant year from a digital transformation standpoint. We need to make big strides and work closely with clients to explore and create opportunities for digital implementation. The simplest and quickest implementation could be the digital checklist. Conventional BMS will be replaced with IOT BMS in the future world. We need to find opportunities to implement sensors and IOT for critical information and analytics through cloud BMS. We have implemented the same in few accounts of ours and everyone is encouraged to keep the digital transformation as one of your myIdea plan 2021 . Details of the Digital checklist and Could BMS is described below:

Digital Checklist

Objective : To provide a digital platform for checklist and Logsheet as against the manual checklist which is being followed presently at the facility.

Solution : Digital Checklist/Logsheet solution is a web and mobile-based inspection checklist designed to carry out health or status checks of specific equipment/systems for engineering and soft services. Manual checklists are replaced with the digital checklist. Data and key information are collected on mobile checklists, and pushed to the cloud server, data is analyzed and presented on the desktop or mobile in the form of insightful trends and a dashboard. Makes it efficient to monitor anything, anywhere and anytime.

Benefits

• Sustainability: Contributing towards the cause of sustainability by eliminating the usage of paper checklists and reducing carbon footprint.

• Operational Efficiency: Brings more consistency, speed, and accuracy to the data aggregation, triggers alerts in the form of SMS/Email in case of any anomalies or deviation from thresholds, and thus enhances operational efficiency and productivity.

• Integrated Helpdesk: Automated tickets can be registered in the helpdesk system in case of any deviation from the threshold in the Logsheet.

• Cost Savings: Cost savings due to the elimination of paper usage, stationaries, printing, and storage space. Also, there is a substantial optimization in terms of time & effort of the resources on paperwork and manual report compilation.

• Reports & Analytics: Multidimensional reports can be drawn to analyze different aspects of operations. For e.g. Sudden spike in energy or water consumption can be easily tracked or alerted or a number of times a technician/supervisor has missed out on checking the area, etc.

• Dashboard: Trends and dashboards give insights into the operation. Helps the team to take better decisions at the right time. Creates an opportunity for continuous improvement.

• Right Behaviour: It creates the right behavior and practices in the operation team by taking the right steps towards operation, maintenance, and repair.

Objective: Leverage cloud-based technology and the capability of technology solutions to create a favorable ecosystem to receive and analyze relevant data pertaining to engineering systems or equipment. Make use of cloud computing and machine learning to our advantage to get intelligent insights into the health of the equipment. Take benefits of multi-vendor interoperability and move away from the concept of BMS room data storage

Solution: Significant data collected from the machines and systems with the help of various types of sensors, existing dedicated machine controllers, or the existing BMS servers, are ported & collected in the dedicated cloud through gateways which are strategically deployed across various equipment or a cluster of equipment, these data are analyzed with the help of cloud computing with ML and AI capabilities and subsequently, reports are generated in the form of log sheets, trends, and intelligent graphics. These reports help us to take the right and speedy decisions to perform an action, hence our actions become more predictive than reactive. The solution breaks silos across different sensor networks, SCADA systems, or any other applications to provide a single pane of glass for operations management. The Facilities Management team can check the health of equipment such as chiller, AHU, VFD, DG set, electric meter, BTU meter, air monitoring system, etc., anytime, from anywhere. In addition, the solution enables customers to mix and match vendors and innovate new workflows and application
