I once was part of a technology upgrade for a facility. Great meetings,followed all processes but it failed. For me I needed resources and better workflows rather than technology. A lesson learnt.

At the very outset, decide what you need from the technology upgrades. These requirements will come from understanding what you currently have, and what improvements you want to do to increase the efficiency and productivity. Study the various alternatives available in the market. Narrow down your choices to the systems that you feel best meet your requirement. These should not only be reliable, but have the least downtime if anything breaks down. The vendor should be able to provide an alternate if the downtime is going to be long. Have long term agreements, so that the productivity does not suffer due to any breakdowns. Before you buy, have some demonstrations organised to assess the suitability.

After conducting a thorough study and determining the necessary improvements, develop a plan and prioritize steps based on quick wins. This approach will allow you to deliver early results, ensuring continued support and resource allocation from your management or client.

1. Critical Infrastructure: First, ensure that core systems like HVAC, lighting, and security are upgraded with smart, energy-efficient solutions. This directly impacts operational efficiency and safety. 2. Automation & IoT: Introduce automation and IoT (Internet of Things) devices to enable real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. 3. Energy Efficiency: Focus on energy management systems (EMS) that can help monitor. 4. Data Analytics & AI: Implement AI-driven analytics platforms that analyze data from various systems to identify trends, optimize workflows. 5. Workforce Mobility & Communication: Equip facility teams with mobile tool. 6. Cybersecurity: With the increasing connectivety.

Technologies still needs more flexibility to can be used from the smaller part from the team to the head. Specially, we are talking about field have the wide base from labors and technicians. So, Development of technology to help this businesses model must assure that all the workflow run in the right direction with flexibility to use from labor to head.

Before making any changes it is more important to get a base line of what you have. Only then can you determine whether something works or not. As for technology, it is the simple things everyone should start with. Operational BMS Automatic lighting Then you can start to look at the additions of better heating/chilling/motors etc etc But No.1 remember just because it is new tech does not mean it is good or bad, but lifetime of buildings need to considered before you rip out a boiler for just 2 years of building life

To effectively rank technology upgrades for maximum impact on facility performance, consider the following steps: 1. Conduct a Needs Assessment: Identify the specific areas of the facility that require improvement. 2. Define Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) 3. Evaluate Upgrade Options: List potential technology upgrades and categorize them based on their purpose 4. Assess Costs and ROI . 5. Consider Scalability and Future Needs. 6. Prioritize Impact on KPIs. 7. Evaluate Ease of Implementation. 8. Check for Compliance and Standards. 9. Seek Feedback from Peers or Industry Experts. 10. Create a Summary and Action Play

Antes de hacer cambios, identifica cuáles son las partes de tus instalaciones que más afectan el rendimiento. Piensa en qué procesos o sistemas son los que más fallan o los que tienen más potencial para ser más eficientes, como la climatización, la energía o la seguridad. No todas las tecnologías son fáciles de integrar. Las que no interfieran mucho con el trabajo diario y que ofrezcan resultados rápidos deben estar en los primeros lugares de tu lista. Las tecnologías que te ayuden a ser más eficiente con la energía o a reducir el impacto ambiental deberían tener un lugar destacado. No solo te ayudarán a ahorrar, sino que también mejorarás tu imagen como empresa responsable.

First thing you must understand is where you want to position yourself in your market. Can your current technology take you there? Make an assessment of other companies and see what they have done. Do you really need an upgrade? If so, can your current software be upgraded or do you need to invest in a new one. If you decide to you need to make the investment, how soon will you see a return? Make short and long term goals and determine if this is what you need to do.
