In the era of Internet-of-Things, connected devices, Big Data, Smart Building and Machine Learning, the cleaning and facility industry is rapidly evolving. On one hand, the technology is becoming available to address the end-users complex issues. On the other hand, this industry transformation is extremely fragmented, software integrations are expensive to implement, and requires very highly skilled resources.With an independent standard, the stakeholders of any size will harvest the benefits of what technology can bring throughout the entire value chain while removing the complexity and cost related to communication, data exchange, and integration.
The Facility Data Standard Consortium (FDS) is dedicated to advancing global open standards for secure data transfer and integration in the facility ecosystem, developed by the industry subject matter experts, so that the benefits of electronic information technology are widely, quickly, and economically available to the industry.
