Industrial IoT for Facilities Management

LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and dashboards for Facilities management — specified, stocked and supported by UK engineers.

Industrial IoT for Facilities Management replaces manual rounds, spreadsheets and blind spots with live LoRaWAN telemetry: low-power sensors, resilient gateways and dashboards that flag a problem the hour it happens, not the week after. Indiott specifies, stocks and supports the full stack and ships across the UK from local warehouses.

Facilities management runs the UK's offices, hospitals, schools and retail estates, a multi-billion-pound services market under pressure to cut energy, prove compliance and do more with fewer engineers. Buildings are being instrumented for occupancy, air quality and plant condition as clients chase net-zero targets and healthier workplaces. A single wireless sensing layer and dashboard lets a small team watch a large, dispersed portfolio. The desk side of that instrumentation is covered in our desk occupancy monitoring guide.

Industrial IoT for Facilities Management: sensors, gateways and dashboards

Built for Facilities and estates managers, Hard services and M&E engineers, Energy and sustainability managers and Helpdesk and mobile engineering teams. Every asset that fails quietly — a pump, a chiller, a cold store, a plant room — is a candidate for a battery LoRaWAN sensor reporting to one dashboard. Typical Industrial IoT for Facilities Management deployments include:

  • Occupancy and desk sensors to right-size cleaning and space use
  • CO2 and air quality monitoring for healthy, compliant indoor environments
  • Energy and sub-meter data feeding one estate-wide dashboard
  • Leak detection under plant rooms, risers and roof drains
  • Fridge, plant-room and comms-room temperature monitoring
  • Washroom footfall triggering demand-based cleaning schedules

Compliance and drivers in Facilities management

Non-domestic MEES already makes it unlawful to let commercial space rated below EPC E, and government has proposed a higher EPC B threshold for privately rented buildings over 1,000 m² from 2031. The Building Safety Act 2022 adds duties for higher-risk buildings, and many providers certify their management systems to ISO 41001, the international facilities management standard. Energy reporting under SECR further pushes estates toward metered, evidenced consumption data.

Indiott builds the monitoring and evidence layer around those duties: continuous data, threshold alarms that reach the duty engineer by SMS, and timestamped records you can hand to an auditor. Useful references: BSI: ISO 41001 facilities management standard Non-domestic MEES EPC B: government interim response (GOV.UK). The stacks facilities management teams reach for most:

Why Facilities management teams choose Indiott

Here is why facilities management operators pick Indiott as their Industrial IoT for Facilities Management partner rather than a generic reseller.

UK stock, UK delivery

Milesight, Atop and AquaIoT hardware supplied from the UK, typically dispatched within 14 working days nationwide.

Engineer-led, not box-shifting

An engineer scopes every enquiry and returns a costed bill of materials within one working day.

One stack, many brands

Interoperable sense, connect, secure, control and manage layers, so you are never locked to a single vendor.

Bespoke when off-the-shelf ends

When the device you need does not exist, we design and build it — firmware, enclosure and integration.

Industrial IoT for Facilities Management: frequently asked questions

Can we monitor a dispersed estate from one place?

Yes. LoRaWAN gateways at each site feed a single dashboard, so a central team sees energy, air quality, occupancy and plant condition across every building without visiting them.

How does sensing help with net-zero and MEES?

Sub-metering and occupancy data show where energy is actually going, which is the basis for cutting consumption and evidencing EPC and MEES progress rather than guessing.

Is installation disruptive to occupied buildings?

No. The sensors are wireless and battery powered, so we fit them around occupants without cable runs, and a survey confirms coverage before we commit.
