Speaking at the event, which took place 18 – 19 August, Javeria Aijaz, Senior Director, Technology and Innovations, said:
“We recently launched the Farnek HITEK solution 4.0. This new system allows us to connect assets from multiple sites so they can be centrally managed and monitored by utilising the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based technologies.
The system supports operational efficiencies, staff welfare, and sustainability while saving clients significant amounts of money by reducing manpower costs by up to 17% by transferring from traditional FM operational management to HITEK’s smart management.
Farnek’s award-winning in-house technology team has developed a range of cutting-edge technologies and initiatives such as a smart washroom, wearable technology, eProcurement, telematics solutions, facial recognition, and benchmarking and forecasting software to make buildings more sustainable.
Khaldun Aburok, Director of Business Development, said: “At Farnek, we are at the very forefront of technology development and implementation, which creates a distinct advantage in this incredibly competitive market. We offer our clients the very latest in smart FM, which has a far-reaching impact in reducing their costs, a key factor in the Middle East FM industry.”
