Industry Associations: IFMA & APWA
At INFRASI, we align our infrastructure and IoT solutions with the standards set by the world’s leading professional associations. This ensures that the systems we implement—from Managed IoT to Managed CMMS—are not just technologically advanced, but also compliant with industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
Two of our primary industry touchpoints are IFMA and APWA.
1. International Facility Management Association (IFMA)
IFMA is the global authority for facility management professionals. Our partnership and alignment with IFMA standards focus on the "Built Environment" and how technology can optimize the lifecycle of a facility.
-
Technology Integration: We help FMs navigate the "Convergence of IT and FM," a core IFMA focus. This includes implementing secure data collection systems that support evidence-based decision-making.
Key Focus Areas: * ESG & Sustainability: Using IoT sensors to monitor energy consumption and indoor air quality (IAQ).
- Smart Buildings: Integrating AI and data analytics into Building Automation Systems (BAS).
- Risk Management: Ensuring facility hardware (like UPS systems) is resilient and monitored.
- Strategic Value: By following IFMA’s "Facility Information Management and Technology Management" framework, we ensure our solutions help FMs move from reactive maintenance to proactive strategic leadership.
2. American Public Works Association (APWA)
The APWA serves those who operate, improve, and maintain public works and infrastructure. Our work here focuses on Public Infrastructure and the digital transformation of community services.
-
Modernization Initiatives: We align with the APWA Technology Committee and their "Top 5 Trending Technologies" to bring relevant innovations to public agencies.
Key Focus Areas:
- Managed Connectivity: Supporting robust network switches and firewalls for municipal buildings and emergency services.
- Asset Management: Implementing IoT (fill-level sensors, vibration monitors) to track the health of public assets in real-time.
- Cybersecurity: Applying APWA-aligned cybersecurity best practices to critical public infrastructure (SCADA, network equipment).
- Community Impact: Our solutions are designed to support the APWA mission of enhancing the quality of life through resilient and sustainable public works.
