About SPICA 
The Internet of Things (IOT) presents new opportunities, but many businesses are still looking to understand and analyse how it will impact and integrate with their existing IT structure and management strategies. SPICA Technologies was created to bridge this gap. Our company of experts work in partnership with our clients to ensure that they are able to navigate and maximise the benefits that connected devices are able to bring - both to the bottom line and to a wide range of operational practices. IOT in Facilities Management specifically offers huge transformational opportunities to improve upon traditional processes, offering more cost-effective solutions and better customer satisfaction. 

Intelligent Buildings: 
The majority of both Soft and Hard FM contracts are typically underpinned by the delivery of manually intensive, low margin tasks, with little scope for competitive differentiation in what is an increasingly crowded marketplace. Automation via BMS systems helps improve the picture somewhat, but tend to be very expensive, bespoke/difficult to integrate, traditionally only monitor core systems (HVAC/Lighting/Metering), and offer in-flight control rather than long-term analysis. The provision of low cost, retrofit IOT solutions can provide huge improvements around building efficiency, customer service and contract yield; ultimately helping increase contract retention and winning new customers. 

SPICA provide a range of sensor devices (e.g. temperature, humidity, noise, presence, CO2, energy usage) and a private cloud instance of the devicepoint™ platform, configured for each specific use case. The sensors take data readings and send over (4G/SIGFOX) network into the devicepoi
