One step closer to achieving human-centered autonomous buildings.
According to Siemens’ vision, the next generation of smart buildings will no longer merely react to their environment, but will be able to lay the groundwork for more comfortable and sustainable operation by thinking ahead and making autonomous decisions. For example, a smart office building automatically prepares meeting rooms: based on the schedule, the number of participants, and their personal preferences, it selects a room of the appropriate size and adjusts the temperature or humidity.
The latest development clearly illustrates this trend. The solution not only alerts users when something breaks down, but also anticipates impending problems, identifies their causes, and automatically initiates the necessary repair process.
The essence of the Asset Performance Advanced building management solution is that it continuously monitors the building’s mechanical equipment and heating and cooling systems. If it detects an anomaly, it automatically prioritizes tasks and forwards them to the appropriate specialists, whether they are the building’s own maintenance staff or the Siemens service team.
A traditional solution only alerts you once a problem has already arisen. This AI-powered system, however, detects even early warning signs, making it easier to avoid costly emergency repairs, unexpected downtime, and dissatisfied tenants. The new system thus combines fault detection, immediate decision-making, and actual intervention with the help of artificial intelligence, expert knowledge, and service support.
The service can be particularly useful in locations where a malfunction could have serious consequences, such as office buildings, industrial facilities, and hospitals.
Thanks to this preventive approach, maintenance costs can be reduced by up to 50 percent compared to the traditional “break it, then fix it” approach.
The service is available as part of the Siemens Building X digital building management platform.
