Blending industry expertise with autonomous robots, chatbots, ChatGPT, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and cutting-edge technologies forms the cornerstone for addressing both present and future challenges encountered by facility managers.

With over 25 years of experience crafting technological solutions for facility management, serving as trusted partners to over 40 clients, and currently catering for more than 32,000 users worldwide, FAMA, part of the Cuatroochenta product family, prioritizes actively listening to our clients' needs. We consistently evolve our technological platform dedicated to comprehensive asset and infrastructure management, always aiming to offer the most advanced technology available.

Drawing from our extensive experience, we introduce what we term the "Recipe for the Future of Facility Management", comprising the following key ingredients:

1 basis of
good quality
industry experience

1 handful of
Autonomous robots

1 teaspoon of
Chatbot

1 pinch of
Chat GPT

3 cups of
Artificial Intelligence

1 heaped tablespoon of
Data Analytics

1 dash of
the latest available technology

What does each of them consist of?

1 teaspoon of chatbot

Consider the challenges associated with field data acquisition, particularly in sectors like environmental monitoring, and the subsequent reporting of information.

Now, imagine leveraging a chatbot to streamline the data acquisition process, making technology more accessible to users through platforms like WhatsApp.

This scenario is exemplified by the AGRIFOOD-ENV-DSS project—an innovative system that combines a web application, chatbot, and geo-referenced data. This integration accelerates and simplifies data collection while promoting transparency in the agri-food industry. Ultimately, the goal is to facilitate decision-making aimed at reducing the environmental footprint.

3 cups of artificial intelligence

What if our goal is to enhance the agility of facility management software implementation processes, improve quality and error detection, and reduce implementation time?

We believe that integrating AI at the outset of implementation could automate phases such as data collection, standardization, and structuring, as well as the creation of inventory catalogs and deployment. Through data analysis, AI could generate suggestions to optimize these processes.
Furthermore, employing AI in the initial testing of facility management software developments, before implementer testing, could expedite the process and enable quicker solution launches with enhanced operational security for the customer.

1 dash of the latest available technology

Lastly, leveraging various cutting-edge technologies to optimize and automate the management of resources within the organization, extending beyond rooms or workstations, proves highly beneficial in addressing the needs of today's facility manager.

Some examples:

The latest web app technology based on Flutter presents compelling advantages, including the ability to create executable apps on both Android and iOS platforms with native performance. This ensures agility in application development and performance.

Integration with Outlook via an add-in streamlines the entire reservation process, allowing seamless access to all selection options within the application without the need to switch between applications. Additionally, integration with MS Office 365 is facilitated.
