b-line Unveils AI Assistant for Property Management

‍FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 26, 2024 - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada – b-line, a leader in smart building technology, announces the launch of its groundbreaking AI Assistant, designed to revolutionize property management with advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. This innovative tool is set to redefine how property managers and occupants interact with their buildings, offering unmatched efficiency, predictive analytics, and data-driven decision-making.

Transforming Property Management

b-line's AI Assistant seamlessly integrates into the b-line dashboard and mobile platform, providing users with an intuitive interface to manage their properties, staff, and occupants more effectively. The AI Assistant can answer complex questions about buildings, spaces, and portfolios, using secure, private data to deliver real-time occupancy insights, reduce customer service calls, streamline staff onboarding, and enable 24/7 support for occupants.

In addition to pulling data from B-line interior positioning network and mobile devices, the AI Assistant also pulls data from existing legacy building infrastructure, such as access and HVAC systems, to provide an ongoing resource for building staff and tenants to have real-time insights on how their buildings are performing, while enhancing tenant experience. 

With the AI Assistant, users can easily access information and analytics on occupancy rates, energy usage, and maintenance needs. They can also receive automated alerts for potential issues or discrepancies in building performance. This helps streamline operations and identify areas for improvement to optimize building efficiency and reduce costs.

The AI Assistant is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the unique needs of each property, making it a valuable tool for any real estate portfolio. It is constantly learning and evolving based on user interactions and feedback, ensuring that it provides accurate and relevant insights at all times.

Not only does the AI Assistant benefit property managers and building staff, but it supplements the use of AI used to automate building operations based on the occupancy and usage of staff and visitors.

Key Features:

• Proprietary AI models that translate spatial intelligence and building automation from our custom hardware into digital twins of interior environments in real-time.
• Occupancy-based building optimization of HVAC controls to enhance operations
• Real-time building reports using a proprietary generative AI assistant for all existing building technologies.
• Integration with existing access controls systems using digital access (Mobile App), Appless Access (Apple / Google Wallet), and identify verification technologies for secure access distribution and verification. 
• Non-invasive, appless occupancy tracking in place of cameras and existing computer vision technologies.
• AI-based anomaly detection algorithms to flag suspicious behavior.
• AI-based time-series forecasting models to aid in managing and predicting future space usage
• Integration with LLM to allow users to set their triggers, alerts, and thresholds based on space usage patterns and FAQs from staff and guests. 

A Step Ahead of the Competition
