Welcome to the Space session at Elevate 2024! This session explores how to manage space within the Operate system, utilize floor plans, and leverage space management tools for organizational efficiency.
The Space session, presented at Elevate 2024, discusses the space management functionality within the Operate system, a core component of an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS). It covers how to manage organizational occupancy data, track multiple occupancies, and use floor plans for spatial analysis. The document highlights the integration of Operate CAD or AIM CAD for synchronizing drawing files with the database, enabling detailed visualizations and space planning. Users can track occupancy history, manage space usage, and perform space surveys. The session also emphasizes the value of leveraging floor plans for operational tasks, such as locating assets and taking measurements. The document concludes with a look at future developments in space management, inviting user input to address evolving needs.
Key Topics Covered
-
Space Management in Operate
- Operate is an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) with space management as one of its core pillars.
- Tracks organizational occupancy data, including the history of organizations occupying a space, multiple occupancies, and usage details.
- Manages detailed occupancy information, such as primary locations, cubicle assignments, and duration of occupancy.
-
Floor Plans and Visualization
- Floor plans can be synchronized with Operate for spatial analysis and space surveys.
- Operate CAD (or AIM CAD) integrates drawing files with the database, allowing data representation in graphic, chart, and legend formats.
- Enables space planning and "what-if" scenarios for moving people and organizations.
-
Using Floor Plans in Operate
- Synchronized floor plans can be used for visualizing organizational information and asset locations.
- The Space Viewer tool allows users to interact with floor plans, take dimensions, and leverage data for various purposes, such as calculating materials needed for tasks.
-
Practical Demonstration
- Demonstration of tracking organizational occupancy, visualizing floor plans, and interacting with CAD files.
- Example of generating reports and visualizing work order statuses on floor plans.
- Use of composites to analyze data across multiple floors and buildings.
-
Future Developments
- FacilityForce is planning to enhance space management capabilities based on customer needs and feedback.
- Emphasis on collaboration with customers to address evolving space management challenges.
