The article discusses the data disconnect in real estate and facility management and proposes a solution through the use of a cognitive independent data layer (IDL) and autonomous agents powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The IDL acts as a unified framework for accessing and managing data from various sources, while autonomous agents analyze and interpret the data to provide actionable insights. This data-driven approach can revolutionize various aspects of facility management, including preventive maintenance, energy management, space utilization, security, and tenant services. However, implementing IDLs and autonomous agents requires addressing challenges such as data security, integration complexities, change management, and investment considerations. The article emphasizes the importance of collaboration, open platforms, and ethical considerations in building a data-driven future for facility management. [Extracted from the article]
