Planon Connect For Building Advisor: Creating A Smarter Environment Through Automated Connections

  • Robert Williams, Global Presales Manager at Planon
  • Brett Spindler, Enterprise Business Development, for Smart Real Estate at Schneider Electric

Many organizations are actively enhancing their buildings with new technologies and smart features, but they often lose out on potential value produced by these technologies because they have not yet effectively connected their systems together. Planon and Schneider Electric have collaborated to do just that: seamlessly connect two platforms together to drive greater value around asset and maintenance processes. In this tech demo you’ll learn about Planon Connect for Building Advisor, which is an integration between Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure™ Building Advisor and Planon’s Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS). This connector brings the best from both these platforms together – enabling automation at every step from detecting an asset fault, diagnosing it, prioritizing it, producing a work order, and allocating it to the right engineer to resolve it.
