Digital Transformation
Amit Salunke, CEO and Director of Sumeet Group Enterprises
Bitten by the digital bug, Amit Salunke, CEO and Director of Sumeet Group Enterprises, believes that the future of the services is in digitalisation and AI.
“IoT or the Internet of Things generates performance data, alerting FMs to potential breakdowns. FMs can monitor and control the devices from anywhere. Sumeet Group Enterprises technology solutions can lead to improvement in overall facility performance, efficiency of assets, cost and energy savings and increased productivity. Utilising smart building sensors allows us to monitor when & how spaces are occupied,” explained Amit.
Speaking of taking FM on a tech-enabled platform, Sumeet Group has a dedicated vertical developing the required software and digitally-enabled aids. “For example, CAFM software enables facility managers to plan, execute and monitor all activities involved in space and workplace management, asset management, reactive and planned preventative maintenance, operational facility services, room reservations and any other customer service request.”
Introducing automation in the Waste Management Services at RGIA, Hyderabad, Amit affirms that technological interventions will emerge as a front runner in the field of systematic waste management and set a benchmark for Indian airports. “The software will enhance SOPs and eliminate major paperwork. IoT, GPS monitoring systems and high-tech sensors will optimise hauling routes and obtain real-time data. Automation at RGIA also includes selfie-based attendance via Geo-fencing, Digital checklist via QR codes, Sensors for Bin Management, GPS trackers for Vehicle Tracking and Real-Time reporting which aims to boost efficiency and save money by reducing unnecessary pickups.”
Coming to the integrated security solutions, which involve multi-layered systems and personnel, automation will help tie each component and help monitoring on a single system. “In addition, advanced features such as video analytics will achieve even tighter security and respond more effectively to incidents,” added Amit, as he moves ahead with the vision of making Sumeet Group the largest and the most sophisticated business outsourcing service provider in India.
