Today´s topic, Batch Management and Optimisation, is actually a logical add-on to one of our blog posts we shared with you a couple of months ago with the title: Energy KPI. Within the Batch Management the focus is set on identifying energy and resource consumptions of individual production steps of a product and how these…
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…
In addition to central standard processes such as Asset- and Cable Management, DAMS C professionally supports also relevant service processes. Our high performing C-platform allows manifold technical and commercial processes to be built upon. Therefore, an integrated, fully-fledged Helpdesk is self- evident, and many of our customers use different Helpdesk configurations successfully every day. This…
Today’s topic is daily business for a majority of our customers: monitoring measurement and sensor data. Data monitoring is a core task within Energy Data Management. Persons responsible for monitoring consumptions need prompt overviews to respond to abnormal values accordingly. We know, from our experience, that data monitoring in these quantities should be executed automatically…
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…
One of our current projects is focused on supporting the teaching and use of robots using augmented reality. We are following two main ideas in this project: the first one is augmenting information onto the robot; the other one is to simulate the entire robot and it’s possible movements. For teaching purposes, the position as…
Our second annual summer party took place last Friday. A majority of our staff together with their families accepted our invitation and joined us for our summer party 2018. With blue skies, sunshine and – following the heat wave – a rather nice temperature we spent a wonderful afternoon. Apart from the wonderful food from…
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…
Responding to TIA and ISO Standards on one hand and the availability of necessary resources on the other constitute an area of conflict, in which Data Centers nowadays need to act. To be able to work properly according to above mentioned standards and guidelines, a considerable amount of resources is indispensable. However, these are often…
We want to focus with today’s blogpost on one of many extensive evaluation possibilities within WiriTec® C: the day analysis. Displaying measuring data and consumption data in consecutive periods and time ranges is a typical scenario within professional Energy Management. Thus, evaluations are created with daily, weekly, monthly or yearly periods. Individual consecutive weeks or months…
We have released a new function package with our latest speedikon® C version 4.2: variant planning. It is a common practice to create various scenarios of new occupancies and furniture layouts within planning of complex moves. For obvious reasons, these scenarios are created within detached copies, also called variants. This way existing data within the…
We occasionally mentioned in past blog-posts our cutting-edge Future.Lab and its main focus on virtual and augmented reality combined with application possibilities within technical business processes. Today’s blog-post is dedicated to the technical basis and opportunities provided by these technologies. The majority of the VR/AR industry has set their focus on marketing and gaming sectors…
Collecting 3D data of existing properties is still a costly challenge for many businesses. Our Hungarian partner Burken Ltd. has specialised in meeting these challenges in an affordable way – including a direct connection to speedikon® C! As one of the leading businesses in property and object data collection, Burken has established itself as a…
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’…
The reliable management of connectivity in today’s data centers regarding different assets, DC rooms and even different DC-sites distant from each other is getting more and more complex. Both precise documentation as well as planning of such cable paths is indispensable to be able to provide a professional answer to the ever-increasing lack of time…
A while ago we dedicated two separate blog posts to the topic of automatic data collection. Today we want to talk about data collection in combination with our WiriApp. Unlike with many different mobile processes the process of the mobile metre data collection is usually executed when the devices have no online connection. This is…
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…
As most of you already know, the Future.Lab – speedikon FM and WiriTec’s joint research lab – was formed last November. Some of our customers already had the chance to get to know the newest technology and some use cases during the cause of our Technology-Days as well as during some additional meetings. We are…
The availability of adequate views when working on racks significantly eases the work of the responsible in Data Centers of today. This is particularly the case when you are dealing with racks being quite distant from each other, or even located in different Data Centers. Using our DC Management platform DAMS C, you can in…
The ongoing trend towards renewable, volatile energy sources is driving the balance between demand and supply far apart. Periodically an oversupply or shortage of power can occur. The effects are usually seen within the electricity exchange market and the significant price fluctuations. Businesses can profit from these exchange fluctuations which will lead to substantial positive cost…
During the implementation of a DCIM System, DC managers face two major challenges these days: On one hand, it is the initial capturing of data regarding assets and cables from existing systems. On the other, it is the smooth and seamless integration of the DCIM solution into existing system environments and the respective processes. The…
A further highlight, which we introduced our customers to on our Technology Days 2018 were the graphical ad-hoc-evaluation tools and the colour assignments for catalogues and cost centres. speedikon® C provides ready-to-use graphical evaluations that are executed by the push of a button. This comes in handy for frequent evaluations and users, who rarely use the system.…
Happy Easter from all of us at speedikon FM AG and WiriTec GmbH. We hope you all have a relaxing break and can enjoy a few days with your loved ones. We are also off hunting for easter eggs and will be back April 9th with new, interesting topics. In the meantime, if you have…
One of this nice highlights for existing platform C customers we showed during our Technology days was the editor for graphics labelling. Customers, who had been using our speedikon Enterprise solution and who had been working intensely with our graphics, had been asking for a GUI for labelling for a while. Labels could be used…
Right on time for the Technology days: Charly blog turns two! Celebrate with Charly and let us know what you think. We are also happy to receive information on topics, you would like us to cover, or just general ideas.

In todays blog post we would like to introduce you to a new function available within the energy management – the box-whisker-plots. When it comes to analysing performance indicators the often used bar charts and line diagramms are usually not good enough as they cannot properly display the scattering of all the values. The scatterplot…
