Its not an exaggeration to say that AI Agents are revolutionising how we interact with facilities. They can help automate workflows to collect, structure, model and analyse data, uncovering issues and driving measurable performance improvements. But context is everything. An agent is only as effective as the information it’s given. Feeding it detailed knowledge about your facility, its digital capabilities and its data model directly impacts accuracy and outcomes. Using estab

As we near the end of another busy year, I wanted to share some valuable learnings from our work helping facilities and operations teams get more value from digital solutions and data. 1.
