Digitalization of facility management offers great potential for efficiency improvement. WAGO Cloud’s “Building Operation and Control” offers a great way to get started with managing and monitoring distributed properties with local infrastructure and decentralized systems from a central point – all in a single package. Individual building systems like heating, air-conditioning, ventilation, lighting and other electrical systems are easy to connect to WAGO Cloud via local automation and an IoT gateway. The cloud-based visualization provides facilities operators with a comprehensive overview of the information from all their properties at all times, which they can then use for comparisons and well-informed analyses – an important feature for optimizing processes and saving energy. Status and alarm notifications from the distributed properties can also be recorded centrally; this allows optimal coordination of service and maintenance work, for example.
