In the dynamic world of building management, facility managers face the challenge of maintaining essential infrastructure such as lifts and escalators. These systems play a crucial role in the functionality of modern buildings and facilitating the movement of people safely. However, the industry often relies on traditional maintenance methods, which may not fully address the current needs for efficiency, reliability and sustainability. WeMaintain introduces an approach aimed at updating these practices, focusing on integrating technology and expertise to improve the management of building transportation systems.
The Challenge at Hand
For too long, the maintenance and management of lifts and escalators have focused on reactive approaches, plagued by intermittent breakdowns, and limited by a lack of predictive insights. The consequence? Unplanned downtime, frustrated tenants, and a significant dent in operational budgets. The industry's slow pace of adopting new technologies has left a gaping void, one that WeMaintain recognised. Our mission? To leverage cutting-edge technology and the deep expertise of our engineers to change that.
Our Transformative Approach
At the heart of WeMaintain's philosophy are two core pillars: advanced technology integration through data sensors and IoT, and the highly technical prowess of our engineers. Let's break down what that means:
1. Regular Maintenance, but better
Our engineers aren't just experts in their field; they're brand agnostic, meaning they possess the versatility and knowledge to handle any lift or escalator, regardless of the manufacturer. This broad expertise ensures that we're not just maintenance providers but trusted advisors who can navigate the complexities of any system, offering solutions that are tailor-made to fit the unique needs of each facility.
2. Maximise, data-backed insights
The true difference is our use of data IoT sensors within the lift and escalator systems. These sensors collect a wealth of data in real-time, from operational metrics to usage patterns. We then take this data and transform it into actionable insights, offering four key benefits:
- Anomaly Detection: Early warning signs of potential issues are identified before they escalate into major problems, drastically reducing downtime and repair costs.
- Traffic Optimisation: By analysing usage patterns, we can optimise lift and escalator operations, ensuring efficient movement of people, especially during peak hours.
- Capex Planning: Armed with data-driven insights, facility managers can make informed decisions about capital expenditure, prioritising investments that deliver the highest return.
- Energy efficiency: Through our anomaly detection and traffic optimisation, identify how much energy each equipment is using and with our insights we can help you optimise and/or modernise when needed to ensure that you are efficiently using and spending on energy.
The End-to-End Solution
What sets WeMaintain apart is our holistic approach. We provide a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that combines the best of technology with human expertise. From the initial assessment to ongoing maintenance and strategic planning, we're with our clients every step of the way, ensuring their facilities are not just maintained but truly enhanced. Aiming for a proactive approach rather than a reactive one.
In today's fast-moving world, technology plays a key role in shaping our expectations, and WeMaintain is keenly aware of its impact on facility maintenance. Our focus extends beyond mere repairs to exploring new possibilities. With a combination of advanced technology and our engineers' expertise, we aim to address current issues while also preparing for a future where building management is more intuitive, efficient, and less of a hurdle.
