How can drones assist facilities managers?


Roof and ground inspections usually require the Facilities Manager (FM) to physically walk around to complete the inspection.

But with the aid of drone technology, the high-quality imagery can gather information for scheduling maintenance within minutes.

But it’s not just this, here are a few reasons why drone technology is clearly a must have in the world of Facilities Management.


Improves facility reliability

Drone based inspections can be used to determine whether buildings meet certain health and safety standards. And also, certain tasks and day to day check-ups will be programmed in efficiently and not accidentally overlooked by the Facilities Manager on a busy day.

Improves work safety

As we have previously covered, Drones can eliminate the risks involved in workers using climbing equipment to climb potentially hazardous buildings, or accessing potentially risky root sections. So now, with the aid of a Drone, they can be sent into a building which saves on time, money and heavily reduces the chance of a serious accident.

Easily integrated within infrastructure management software

When paired with software systems like SmartCSM, building inspections, maintenance and asset mapping can be reported with ease. Keeping up to date with the current condition of a building, allows Facilities managers to keep buildings operating in the safest and most efficient manner.
