Feature
Human workers are also needed in the uncommon event of a machine encountering an obstacle which it cannot find its way around. Owing to new and improved user interfaces, the setting up and training of machines is easily taken care of by non-technical staff, who can activate robots without the need for extra infrastructure requirements or extensive training. This synergy between robots and workers is one obvious reason why automation has become a key part of facilities management.
Making Use Of AI Understandably, gains. robotics have been sought out for
their ability to make operations more efficient, which consequently gives staff back time in their day. However, the upshot of more automated operations goes beyond efficiency
Robots are now producing more
information than ever; as a result facilities managers have an unprecedented view of their operations and can thus adjust their workplace systems like never before.
Automation strategies can involve multiple robotic machines -- floor scrubbers, vacuums, in-store delivery and inventory analytics – all working in unison across a given facility. Robot data can all be accessed through a centralised cloud-connected AI platform. With multiple units feeding data into this central ‘brain’, it is possible to use data as a key management resource.
Modern autonomous robots generate performance data whilst carrying out their tasks, which can be visualised, analysed and used to inform better decision making. Managers can track real-time data created by machines and use that to optimise operations throughout a store or facility. Automation has inadvertently solidified the link between task management and operations planning.
A Bird’s Eye View
When deployed sensitively and intelligently, synergetic technology has the power to advance facility operations. This not only benefits the safety of workers, but also brings managers closer to the holy grail of a fully optimised workplace.
