- Integration of location data in building systems and processes
- More comfort and safety for building users and operators
- Partnership with indoor positioning expert infsoft
The Siemens Building Technologies Division is adding location-based services to its digital service offering for buildings. These services link existing building infrastructures and processes with location-specific data. This benefits all building users: People working in the building enjoy enhanced comfort. For example, they are now able to use a smartphone app to individually control the room temperature and lighting in their immediate vicinity or find and reserve an available meeting room nearby. Location-based services help visitors find their way around a building more quickly and obtain the information they need. In addition, these services dramatically improve the operational processes in a building, optimizing room utilization, simplifying emergency evacuations and making building maintenance more efficient. Beyond that, it is easier to protect assets against loss or theft, take inventory and locate them at any time. This is important, for instance, to quickly find mobile medical equipment in a hospital.
