Smart buildings are no longer a new fad that are out of reach for facility managers – smart buildings are now the expectation for running a facility. Connected systems and sensors are requirements for measuring and managing what is going on in your building. But is this enough? This summit discusses how to move smart buildings into the next era – full optimization of the building. Experts and innovators of smart buildings share how to maximize current standard technology in your building while planning for future technology needs.

From Digital Twins to the Internet of Things, Guiding the Path Towards Digital Transformation

Speaker: John Gould

As organizations look to adopt leading technologies, embarking on a Digital Transformation is many times a challenge. In this presentation, we will look to identify how organizations can look to establish the necessary planning, guard rails and alignment tools needed to successfully transform your organization. We will look to examine how to determine your digital capabilities as they align with your overall mission. Understanding the necessary tools to establish the right leadership around these transformations and how best to approach this effort, throughout the organization. We'll talk through how Digital Twins and IoT are converging in a way that empowers organizations to shift their maintenance and operational efforts from planned and corrective maintenance to a more predictive and fully integrated, enterprise level of doing business.

5 Steps on the Road to Smart Buildings

Speaker: Steve Brown

A single smart device can't make a building intelligent. Instead, internet of things devices are intended to serve as components that can be linked together to form a truly smart building. While the benefits of an intelligent building have been well-documented, the roadmap to achieve building intelligence isn't as clear. Both existing buildings and new construction can be made “intelligent” and a building's “intelligence” can be increased with each building system that is integrated, allowing for a continuous improvement strategy. In this educational session, we will discuss the 5 steps and the roadmap to achieve Smart Buildings.

On the Move – Getting More Out of Staff and Resources Through Mobile Technology

Speaker: John Rimer

With the strained supply of qualified staff and contractors and ever-increasing demand of the same-day Prime delivery culture, facility management departments must be quick to respond, nimble to adapt, and efficient to resolve. Since throwing more people and money at the problem is not a feasible or possible solution, we must become smarter in how we work and manage our resources. In this educational session, we will discuss how we can leverage mobile functionality to deliver fluid communication, increased client satisfaction, efficient use of resources, and acquisition of data that will help propel the FM program forward.

Data Opens the Door

Speaker: Ron Shaffer

Modern access control solutions are the front-line technology within the smart building ecosystem. Not only is it the access control system that grants or denies access in and within a building, but the wealth of data collected by these systems is a gold mine of business intelligence. Armed with this critical information, teams can make informed decisions on office and workspace design, physical workflows, space optimization, building systems requirements, and more.

Nobody understands the shifting paradigm in smart buildings better than SALTO Systems, a leading manufacturer of next-generation wire-free electronic locking solutions. Since 2001, SALTO has been synonymous with innovative software and hardware access control solutions, including stand-alone, cloud-based, and mobile applications, which set new standards in security, manageability, flexibility, and design and bring real-world benefits to virtually any type of door.

Building Management System - Integrated IOT Platform

Speaker: Lonnie Spears

Today's buildings create vast amounts of data that businesses can leverage to make smarter decisions. This presentation covers the use of the building management system as the central repository for this data; providing a common interface and formatting for the data.
