Transforming Temasek Polytechnic Campus with Smart Facilities Management Solutions

In today’s fast-paced technological landscape, institutions like Temasek Polytechnic face numerous challenges in managing their expansive facilities efficiently. These challenges include outdated systems, standalone operations, and a lack of integrated facility management.

Digital Transformation Initiative

To address these challenges head-on, Temasek Polytechnic embarked on a comprehensive digital transformation initiative spanning its 30-hectare campus with 49 buildings. This initiative was one of the largest technology implementations in educational campuses, involving the digitization of over 3,000 data points.

Implemented Solutions

The Integrated Facilities Management and Digitalization Solutions introduced at Temasek Polytechnic include:

• Digital Twin (BIM FM Model): Providing a virtual representation of the campus for enhanced planning and management.
• 24K CMMS: Computerized Maintenance Management System for streamlined maintenance operations.
• Smart Facilities Booking System (FBS): integrated all booking systems – Optimizing space allocation and utilization.
• Digital Facility and Assets Management Platform (DFAMP): Centralized management of facilities and assets.
• Strategic Data Reporting and Analysis: Utilizing advanced analytics to derive actionable insights.
• Enhancing Operational Efficiency

These solutions synergize to feed data into an Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) platform. This platform leverages data from sensors and other sources to analyze patterns, optimize operations, and ensure efficient resource allocation. Operators benefit from real-time 3D visualization and insights provided through Power BI dashboards, enhancing decision-making and operational efficiency.

Achievements and Impact

In 2023 alone, Temasek Polytechnic’s FM team processed over 16,000 work orders, demonstrating substantial improvements in fault reporting and operational comfort for building occupants. The digitalization efforts have led to cost savings, efficient operations, and a reduction in carbon emissions.

Commitment to Sustainability

Aligned with Temasek Polytechnic’s goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, our Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) team has spearheaded sustainability initiatives. This includes evaluating campus infrastructure, defining improvement objectives, assembling multidisciplinary teams, and implementing sustainable practices such as smart lighting, HVAC upgrades, and water conservation measures.

Conclusion

Through strategic digital transformation and sustainable practices, SJ has empowered Temasek Polytechnic to become a model of efficient campus management. Our innovative solutions continue to enhance operational excellence, sustainability, and user comfort, reinforcing our commitment to smart, connected, and cognitive facilities management. Together, we pave the way for a future-ready educational environment that prioritizes efficiency and sustainability.
