Facility Management Checklist Leveraging Drone Technology

In the world of facility management, the challenges can become as diverse as the modern establishments the industry represents. 

From HVAC systems and fire safety to landscaping and parking lot upkeep, the array of responsibilities can be staggering.

However, with a transformative solution that takes flight (quite literally), your efficiency, accuracy, and safety can soar to new heights. How? Through the integration of drone technology. 

Imagine a scenario where drones glide effortlessly over rooftops, walkways, and garages, conducting inspections, assessing your maintenance needs, and promising security. Sounds pretty great, right?

We’re here to give your facility management team the perfect combination of advanced drone technology with a meticulously designed facility inspection checklist so you can implement a groundbreaking approach to your maintenance planning. 

In this article, we’ll review the pivotal role that the Sherpa Drone plays in reshaping the future of your facility management projects and security systems, complete with a comprehensive facility maintenance checklist you can equip anytime. 

The Evolution of Facility Management: Drones Revolutionizing Cleaning Processes

Incorporating technology into facility management has marked a significant shift in maintenance strategies, with drones leading the charge in modern cleaning practices. This innovative approach has dramatically altered the landscape of property upkeep.

In a scenario such as a large corporate campus, traditional cleaning methods would typically involve significant manpower and could disrupt everyday workplace activities. However, the advent of drone technology has streamlined this process. Drones now enable facility managers to conduct comprehensive cleaning routines efficiently, covering extensive areas without intruding on the daily operations of the organization. Their ability to access hard-to-reach areas ensures that every part of the campus maintains a high standard of cleanliness.

The benefits of drone-assisted cleaning are even more apparent in expansive facilities like warehouses and manufacturing plants. Drones efficiently navigate these large spaces, ensuring thorough cleanliness and adherence to safety standards. They effectively identify and clean areas that might be overlooked or difficult to reach through conventional methods. This proactive approach to cleaning, facilitated by drones, not only upholds safety standards but also contributes significantly to the operational efficiency and durability of the facility.

Pro-tip: Make sure you’re up to date with the FAA’s drone regulations before you get started.

Benefits of Using Drones in Facility Management

If you’re ready to make drone technology part of your indispensable tool kit, here’s just a glimpse of the myriad advantages you’ll get: 

• Increased efficiency: Drones have the unique ability to condense time-consuming tasks, streamlining your processes. Inspections of large parking lots or sprawling rooftops can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional methods.
• Improved safety: Facility managers can curb the risks to human safety often associated with conducting inspections in hazardous or hard-to-reach locations. Drones can navigate these areas with ease, minimizing the need for staff to expose themselves to any potential dangers and strengthening your alarm systems.
• Precision and accuracy: The aerial perspective offered by drones helps for better decision-making regarding maintenance management. Cracks, leaks, corrosion, or other imperfections can come into the light in ways the naked eye wouldn’t be able to detect.
• Cost-effectiveness: You can say goodbye to your high labor costs and equipment investments. Thanks to drones, you can cut down many operational costs by investing long-term in this technology.
