[webinar] Embracing Digital Transformation in Maintenance & Plant Operations | March 13 at 10AM EST – Register Now
Many facility managers continue to rely on paper maps, blueprints, and spreadsheets to track assets, navigate spaces, and manage emergencies. While digitized floor plans are often seen as an improvement, it remains limited in functionality, offering little more than a digital version of its paper counterpart. This is where a dynamic mapping solution, takes the lead.
Choosing an industrial heating system upgrade for any facility is a big undertaking—not only because it’s a major expense, but because it can have a long-tail effect on the facility’s energy efficiency as well as employee comfort. When looking for the best industrial heating system, several factors should be considered.
Many production facilities face a so-called infrastructure maintenance gap, where they don’t focus solely on building infrastructure capabilities while still investing in machinery and equipment. In this article, we share what elements, systems, and installations require maintenance in the whole manufacturing facility infrastructure.
BIM for facility management enhances FM in many ways. This digital tool revolutionizes how projects are designed, built, and managed. This article delves into the transformative effects of BIM on facility management, spotlighting its advantages and other critical aspects.

Digital maps for plants and factories help employees navigate the facility, track assets, and enable inventory audits for better equipment maintenance are in demand.
Infectious waste management is a critical area of focus for maintenance and reliability teams across various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, and pharmaceuticals. Each of these industries faces unique challenges due to the nature of their waste, which can include biological hazards, contaminated sharps, and chemical residues.
Neglecting heating system maintenance can quickly result in decreased energy efficiency. When filters become dirty, coils get clogged, or system components wear out, your heating system must exert more effort to maintain the desired temperature. Consequently, energy consumption rises, leading to higher utility bills.
Over the past twenty years, building information modeling (BIM) has been steadily securing itself as an essential tool in the architecture, engineering, and construction fields. Its advanced 3D capabilities are used in just about every design and construction phase. However, with new developments in real-time data collection, the advantages of BIM can extend beyond the completion of a facility.When applied to facility management, BIM opens the door to better asset management, improved safety, and optimized maintenance strategies that ensure that a building performs at its best 100 percent of the time.
