A ticketing system can be flooded with questions that are easy to answer as well as with problems that occur daily, and which are easy to solve. In order that you can settle these matters quickly, we developed the configuration package “Knowledge Base”, a database in which users can search for entries that contain answers…
On April 11th, 2019, speedikon FM AG won the German Data Centre Award (Deutscher Rechenzentrumspreis). The renowned prize was awarded to the winners of the data centre industry during a ceremony at the future thinking congress. Patrick Burghardt, State Secretary of the Hessian Ministry of Digital Strategy and Development, is the patron of the award…
We at speedikon FM AG and WiriTec GmbH wish you a Happy Easter! Next Monday, there will be a new blog post again. Would you like us to write about a certain subject, or do you have other suggestions or questions? We are looking forward to your message. Our partner FRAMENCE is going to do…
As we have reported before, our partner company FRAMENCE has developed a revolutionary software for digitalising buildings and facilities based on simple pictures. The software creates hybrid models out of panoramic pictures which act like real 3D models and which can integrate 2D maps and 3D models (BIM). The digitalisation with FRAMENCE is simple as…
For many of our clients, it is not only essential to have recent data of their facilities at hand but also data from other points in time. Therefore, we integrated a time slider into speedikon® C for you. Thanks to the time slider, you can have a look at current data, but you can also examine…
On Thursday, 11 April 2019, once again speedikon FM AG welcomed a group of international managers at the speedikon headquarter in Bensheim, Germany. The CEOs and senior managers from several threshold countries such as Mexico or Malaysia had been invited to receive an impression of the latest IT technologies that are used in digitalisation projects.…
In this blog post, we will take another look at what is happening in our FUTURE.LAB. Aside from many other topics, we are currently looking into how new technology may increase the efficiency of maintenance procedures. The working title “Maintenance AR” summarises a number of projects and prototypes that are all concerned with using AR…
In speedikon® C, it is now possible to work with live data from your facilities. Until now, our clients have been using analyses that where surveyed in certain intervals, hence, the data of the facility was always retrospective. With speedikon® C version 5.1, you can monitor live data from sensors in a chart that is…
We are delighted to announce that speedikon FM AG has been nominated for the German Data Centre Award (Deutscher Rechenzentrumspreis), which will be awarded during a ceremony at Chamäleon Beach in the Rhine-Main area. The award ceremony takes place in the context of the “future thinking” data centre convention and under the patronage of Patrick…
Whether for correcting defects or for planning: you can receive helpful information on our DCIM platform DAMS C . Its network reports, in shape of graphics or lists, can show you where servers and patch panels are located and how they are interconnected; or you can find out how many and which kind of connections…
According to our clients’ experience as well as to our own, the digitalisation and survey of existing buildings and facilities is not an easy task. Usually, trained staff capture complete surroundings with laser scanners and generate a 3D point cloud. Subsequently, the point cloud is used to build a 3D model. Since this process is…
On the 26th of February, a BIM UserGroup meeting took place for the second time in the speedikon FM AG headquarter in the Hessian town of Bensheim. Twenty participants from our client base met up in order to discuss BIM processes in the context of facility management with a view of Auerbach Castle. The focus…
Did you know that our versatile Charly acts as an online marketing manager in the social networks? Charly posts exclusive news and can communicate with you on Twitter, Xing and LinkedIn. Social media has been a part of everyday life for quite a while and is not only used for private communication but also for…
As you may already know, a cost centre analysis that is based on inherited information was implemented in speedikon® C as a standard mechanism, in 2016. Hence, rooms inherit cost centre information from personnel since employees often bring their assigned cost centres with them and because it is helpful for analysis and for strategic planning…
Today, we would like to introduce our mobile app called “Mangelerfassung” which facilitates the defect management of your buildings and plants. On site, you can easily record defects offline on a map and synchronise the data with the speedikon® C platform. During a site inspection, defects of all kinds can be recorded and documented. If…
We are pleased to introduce you to two new colleagues at speedikom FM AG. Natalie Wocko and Sebastian Schrenk, who became part of our team at the beginning of February, can say: new year – new job at Speedikon Facility Management AG. Natalie Wocko will support us in marketing and attend to our social media…
As Christmas celebrations are very close ahead, we would like to wish all our Blog readers some nice and restful Christmas days with many peaceful moments for reading and relaxing. We would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank all of you for your continuous interest in our weekly posts as well as for…
Buildings, rooms, installations: Here are three selected object types that are managed in a CAFM system like speedikon® C. The number of these objects is often exceeds 10,000, and each individual object has got its own set of attributes. These can be in the high two or three-digit range – especially when different corporate departments…
A while ago we dedicated one of our blog posts to our speedikon® C Version 4.1. Well, we´ve just launched the latest Version 4.2 of speedikon® C and we are happy to announce some interesting features: We come up against one central problem in many of our projects: CAD floor plans are delivered by architects without closed…
We´ve mentioned the topic Flexibility (read about it here) in a couple of our blog-posts before. Little attention has been paid to a very important aspect within every single project of ours: Flexible Object- and Hierarchy Structures. We will change this with the following words. The master data structure in speedikon® C is exclusively dependant…
We dedicated one of our latest blog posts to our powerful reporting and analysis tools (read more about it here). Today we will be digging into a similar topic with our tiles of the month: Specific Search Functions. In many cases a CAFM/IWMS system manages far over millions of objects and people. Thus, a customisable…
The process and data structure standardisation within the Building Information Modeling (BIM) sector has been discussed very actively for some years now. The direct practice relation is usually only briefly mentioned. In particular, topics essential for the FM industry, which has its focus set on the operation of buildings and assets, find only little attention.…
In our current newsletter, it was already mentioned: displaying assets on an external map. So why are we doing this? Some of our clients maintain geographic coordinates on objects such as buildings or installations to view their position in a digital map. Roads in large factory areas are not always digitised for a variety of…
We know the value of powerful reporting and search tools for analysing data within property management from our extensive project experience gathered in over 20 years of CAFM/IWMS business. Contemporary management reports or ad hoc enquiries coming from executive levels, evaluations as controlling tools, data lists for other departments or software systems, benchmarks, data queries…
We´ve all been in this situation: a new system is rolled out and the user has to adapt to the interface, the process handling and the data structure. With speedikon® C we are following a different approach: The customer is not forced to adapt to the system because the system adapts fully to the customers’…
We dedicated our last blog post to imports of graphical (and alphanumerical) data. Floor plans are, once the configuration is set by the users or our consultants, uploaded into the data base via the systems interface. In practice, multiple levels have to be linked with their respective graphical representation within the system. Thus, the phones…
How is our alphanumerical and graphical data imported into speedikon® C? This is one of the key questions asked by many of our prospects and customers. We differentiate between alphanumerical and graphical imports. All imports are performed simply by any user (provided that the user is authorised to do so) via the systems interface. The import…
We have finalised dates for our annual technology days: they are held between March 14th and March 16th; the main event on March 15th is free of charge and takes place at the Hilton Hotel at Frankfurt Airport. The workshops surrounding the event on March 14th and March 16th will be carried out at our headquarters…
