How Virtual Facility uses AI[1][2]
Machine learning triages building alarms, prioritizes the events that affect safety, uptime, or comfort, and converts validated alarms into work orders inside a facility's existing CMMS.
- • Ingests alarm data from building automation, monitoring, and IoT systems
- • Filters noise and surfaces high-risk events for response
- • Prioritizes alarms by safety, uptime, and comfort impact
- • Auto-creates CMMS work orders from validated alarms
- • Feeds proactive and predictive maintenance recommendations into WebTMA, MEX, and EQ2 platforms
AI type: Predictive Analytics
