Heba Fastighets AB Pioneers Proactive 'Smart Management' in Real Estate

Heba Fastighets AB is spearheading a digital transformation in real estate through data-driven property management. The company is implementing a "smart management" system that leverages data analytics, digital twins, and real-time monitoring to proactively address maintenance concerns. This initiative aims to transition from a reactive operational model to one that anticipates and resolves issues before they affect tenants, mitigating common inconveniences like elevator malfunctions and appliance failures. According to CEO Patrik Emanuelsson, the company's objective is to leverage digitalization to improve efficiency for both residents and employees by predicting potential problems. The transformation began with the creation of centralized data repositories for each property, ensuring data accuracy and accessibility. The subsequent phase involves deploying digital twins: detailed, three-dimensional models of buildings that provide technicians with critical information such as serial numbers and service schedules. Furthermore, Heba analyzes maintenance reports in real time to identify trends, equipment defects, and future renovation requirements. Data from routine inspections is integrated and analyzed over time. Utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT), critical machinery can autonomously report impending failures. By integrating these technologies, Heba has established a system where technology actively supports operations, evolving from human oversight to an intelligent, data-driven approach.
