Integrating A Building’s Systems For Success By Brian Turner, CEO of OTI.
The facilities industry has undergone significant digital transformation in the past few years. From smart occupancy sensors to building management systems, there is a wealth of tools on offer to create efficient, sustainable, and operationally excellent buildings. The plethora of technologies on offer has transformed clunky, manual processes into sleek, digital operations.
The Risks Of A Disjointed System
Despite the abundance of tools on offer, many are still failing to realise the full potential of these technologies. As a result, many buildings are operating poorly, with high overhead costs and poor sustainability performance. This is often due to technologies being implemented in isolation.
The result is a fragmented ecosystem, with siloed data and lost insights. This means that the benefits of the technology are unrealised, and ultimately time and money invested in the solutions are wasted.
Disjointed technology harms building performance. This is what makes the role of a Master Systems Integrator (MSI) so important. Though they’re often overlooked, MSIs play a crucial role in ensuring all of the technology and systems deployed throughout a building work seamlessly, resulting in operational
excellence,
and cost savings. The Value Of Integration
An MSI provides a bridge between all of the technologies used in a building to
ensure that disparate systems
communicate effectively with each other. Further than installing software or hardware, an MSI creates a unified architecture with each component working together towards a common goal
of efficiency, tenant experience. 22 fmuk sustainability, and
