Siemens Smart Infrastructure has introduced a new artificial intelligence-enabled managed building service designed to accelerate the transition toward human-centric autonomous building management.
The solution, named Asset Performance Advanced, combines predictive failure mode classification with advanced fault detection and diagnosis. The service aims to help operators optimize facilities, improve energy performance and maintain occupant comfort across critical infrastructure industries.
By integrating predictive intelligence and prescriptive AI, the platform identifies the root causes of facility performance issues, recommends corrective actions and automates workflow execution. The system connects building insights to execution through digital workflows via the Siemens Customer Interaction Portal, routing tasks to internal maintenance teams or Siemens Digital Service Centers.
The service targets sectors where operational reliability and uptime are critical, including healthcare, higher education and commercial real estate. In healthcare settings, the system monitors critical environments like operating rooms to maintain compliance. For higher education and real estate, it provides portfolio-wide visibility to manage distributed assets and meet energy targets.
Traditional reactive maintenance often results in emergency repairs and service disruptions. This new platform moves past rule-based monitoring by prioritizing system issues based on their overall impact on comfort, energy consumption and uptime. Advanced analytics continuously monitor heating, ventilation, air conditioning and building automation devices to detect anomalies before traditional alarms are triggered.
The service expands the company's automation services portfolio and operates within the Building X ecosystem, an open digital building platform designed to digitalize and optimize facility operations.
