WINNIPEG, Manitoba–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AI–Keeping equipment and assets running properly, it’s important to get ahead of the maintenance curve. Being proactive and relevant when it comes to trends in the asset management industry means knowing the biggest challenges and how to resolve them. With all the unknowns in the last couple of years, the asset management industry has been relatively lucky with the ability to carry on business. The industry is growing in line with inflation with a forecast of 8.7% from 2020 to 2026, according to Markets and Markets.

The shift from traditional paper systems towards modern CMMS solutions is helping drive industry growth. With the need for virtual and remote solutions due to the pandemic, advanced technologies such as cloud-based systems are helping businesses overcome today’s challenges while showcasing new opportunities for the future.

What to Look for In Asset Management in 2022

1. Mobile CMMS
   While not a new trend, mobile tools are quickly becoming the industry norm as businesses are recognizing the value. Combine that with the availability of cost-effective mobile devices and a workforce that is well-versed in its usage. Now companies can deliver real-time data straight from the source.
2. Preventative Maintenance Focus
   
   The need to be proactive as opposed to reactive has become forefront in the industry to reduce unplanned downtime, increase asset lifespans, lower costs, increase safety and most importantly increase efficiency with insights available through CMMS.
3. Increased Digital Inspections
   
   More and more organizations have multiple levels of compliance and regulatory requirements. The ability to complete, file and store equipment and asset inspections will provide huge time savings, less paperwork, real-time updates and digital sign-offs for accountability.
4. Cloud-Based Solutions
   
   In today’s world, the need for any time anywhere has become imperative for businesses to operate efficiently. Without the need for on-site software, companies only have to deal with smaller monthly expenses as opposed to large capital expenditures and ongoing maintenance. Security and redundancy are required features of any high-level CMMS, most can integrate with your enterprise systems and you won’t need to deal with dedicated IT personnel.
5. AI (Artificial Intelligence)
   
   Adding AI to the CMMS solution helps teams work smarter, not harder by automating repetitive jobs and maintenance planning, allowing you to focus on value-added activities. It can identify maintenance requirements, prioritize and adjust schedules to ensure the right person is assigned to the right task.

If the last couple of years has taught us anything, it’s time to become fluid, adaptable, innovative and focused on customer-centric business practices. As our world changes daily, businesses have to be able to adjust on the fly and provide the required information in a timely fashion with a focus on reducing costs, downtime and increasing efficiencies. If you’re ready to make the move towards the future, there’s never been a better time to setup enterprise asset management than right now.

Dehumidified Air Solutions, manufacturer of the three leading pool dehumidifier brands, funds 15k for scholarship program

OTTAWA, Ontario & MONTREAL & YORK, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#HVAC–Dectron, PoolPak and Seresco, three of North America’s leading pool dehumidifier brands, have launched a scholarship program designed to help students pursue an education in engineering and increase their awareness of natatorium (indoor pool) design. Each of the three brands will award a $5,000 scholarship to a student in Canada or the U.S. who is enrolled in a mechanical or building engineering bachelor’s degree program for the 2022-2023 academic year.

In 2019, the number of awarded bachelor’s degrees in engineering totalled 18,154¹ in Canada and 144,818² in the U.S., indicating a large pool of prospective engineers annually. Through the scholarship application process and ambassador program, Dectron, PoolPak and Seresco want to ensure that students and ultimately graduates are aware of the important considerations of natatorium design and the associated opportunities when entering the workforce.

“A natatorium is one of the most notoriously difficult facilities to design because there are so many critical considerations that, if overlooked, can develop into serious problems affecting the building structure or result in an unpleasant experience or ill-health effects for the occupants,” said Bob Phillips, Vice President of Sales for Dehumidified Air Solutions, Pools Division. “The indoor pool environment and the communities served will certainly benefit from a greater number of new engineers who have become exposed to and knowledgeable about HVAC for natatorium design, and it is our hope that this scholarship program will achieve this.”

Scholarships will be awarded based on academic performance, understanding natatorium design and letters of reference. Students in at least their second year of studies with at least one year remaining are eligible. Complete eligibility requirements and how to apply are listed on the Dectron, PoolPak and Seresco website scholarship pages. The deadline to apply is June 30, 2022, and scholarships will be awarded by July 29, 2022, through the post-secondary institutions the recipients are attending.
