Certis, Eutech launch IoT facilities management solution, eye overseas markets

Singapore

SECURITY group Certis and technology SME firm Eutech Cybernetic have partnered to launch an Internet of Things (IoT) facilities management (iFM) solution which they will market both in Singapore and overseas.

International Enterprise (IE) Singapore linked up Eutech and Certis Group to jointly work on the newly launched iFM solution, which the two companies say is the first of its kind.

Following the launch in Singapore, Certis and Eutech plan to scale up the new platform and take it overseas to Australia and Hong Kong.

The solution enables facility owners to centrally manage and integrate building operations, optimising energy consumption, physical security, maintenance and other aspects.

For example, facility owners will be able to use the mobile facility management dashboard to establish if more energy and water are being consumed than necessary. They can then make changes to cut down on wastage. In addition, the solution can track visitors in real-time, while artificial intelligence is used to analyse behaviour through pattern analysis. This way, facility owners can anticipate and prevent security breaches by building a risk profile of visitors.

The product leverages on Eutech's software iviva, while Certis's presence in Australia and Hong Kong will enable them to make inroads into these two markets.

Joseph CP Tan, senior managing director for Certis technology services, said: "Building on our core capabilities in security, the IoT FM ... will strategically enhance our current service offerings and provide unparalleled value to facility owners in the long run."

Hari Gunasingham, CEO of Eutech, said: "We are at the cusp of a digital transformation of the S$13 billion global construction industry. These Smart Building services are easy to deploy as a Cloud service to any building in Singapore or overseas. It is a game changer that brings enormous value to owners and operators of buildings, enabling them to reduce significant costs and deliver better services to their tenants."
