Revolutionizing Facility Management with AI: The Genius Facility Manager

In an age where data-driven decision-making is paramount, Ryonetsu, a leading company in engineering consulting and design, has taken a monumental step forward by launching the Genius Facility Manager—a cutting-edge AI platform designed to bridge the gap between on-site facility data and management oversight. Developed by Ryonetsu Corporation, based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, this innovative service aims to assist businesses in monitoring real-time operational conditions, thus enabling top management to make well-informed decisions promptly.

Key Features of the Genius Facility Manager

1. Real-time Visualization and Troubleshooting

The platform consolidates on-site data, allowing users to manage equipment specifications and part information while estimating the root causes of errors. This feature empowers executives with immediate insights into current operational conditions, enhancing their capacity for effective troubleshooting.

2. Support for Management Decisions and Investment Planning

By visualizing the history and schedules of maintenance work, the Genius Facility Manager aids in making data-driven investment decisions. This function integrates with fixed asset ledgers, providing a comprehensive view for rational investment assessments based on accurate data.

3. Knowledge Transfer and Standardization

One of the critical challenges faced by industries is the loss of expertise as veteran employees retire. The Genius Facility Manager tackles this by accumulating the know-how of seasoned staff into the AI system, facilitating the transfer of skills to younger employees and reducing dependency on specific individuals.

Development Background

Ryonetsu has recognized the persistent challenge of information disconnect between management and on-site staff for years. According to the 2024 Manufacturing White Paper by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, only 34.6% of companies reported successful interdepartmental collaboration. Responding to this pressing need, Ryonetsu developed the Genius Facility Manager to provide a robust solution capable of connecting management and operational insights seamlessly.

The service integrates valuable data, from fixed asset ledgers to inspection reports and HACCP-related documents, mixing deep knowledge of facility management with advanced RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) technology. This results in practical AI assistance that is firmly rooted in the realities of facilities management.
