Smart Building Revolution: A Case Study on Electra Smart Facilities

Electra group of companies, a developer of high-rise commercial towers, recently completed the construction of five new towers. These towers are equipped with IoT devices, smart power and water management systems, smart lighting, smart cleaning systems, controllable machines and sensors, security and safety systems, parking and gate systems. The challenge was to find a cloud-based, smart facility management system that could integrate, control, and monitor all these towers remotely from their main HQ. The system needed to be flexible and generic for all types of systems installed and should have customizable integration workflows and rules for automating all subsystems’ control and operations. Additionally, the solution should incorporate a mobile application for all facility management staff to receive technical alarms and faults, as well as control smart elements directly from the phone. The solution should also have a visitor management system built-in and assist in cutting down facility management costs, time of response to faults, and reduce utility charges.

The customer in this case study is the Electra group of companies. They are a developer of high-rise commercial towers intended for high-end customers. They have recently completed the construction of five new towers, all of which are installed with IoT devices, smart power and water management, smart lighting, smart cleaning systems, controllable machines and sensors, security and safety systems, parking and gate systems. The company needed a solution that could integrate, control, and monitor all their towers remotely from their main HQ, while also offering advanced high-level services for the tower’s residents and offices.
