Industrial Facilities Management Software

Industrial facilities management is the process of managing buildings, infrastructure, utilities and maintenance activities across manufacturing plants, warehouses, logistics centres and other industrial environments. It combines maintenance planning, compliance management and asset lifecycle management to keep facilities safe, compliant and operational.

Industrial maintenance management involves planning, scheduling and coordinating maintenance across industrial buildings, equipment and supporting infrastructure. Its purpose is to improve asset reliability, minimise unplanned downtime, extend asset life and support safe, efficient operations.

Industrial facilities management software helps organisations manage asset data, workflows, work orders and the delivery of maintenance activities. SFG20 is the industry standard for building maintenance, defining the technical tasks, frequencies and requirements that determine what maintenance should be carried out and when.

Organisations access and tailor the SFG20 standard through Facilities-iQ, SFG20’s software platform. The tailored maintenance requirements can then be integrated with other systems, including CAFM, CMMS, enterprise asset management and downstream operating systems that plan, schedule, assign and track the work. This creates a connected process from defining the correct maintenance regime through to delivering and evidencing the work.

Industrial facilities management software helps coordinate maintenance activities across critical building services and infrastructure, but effective maintenance depends on having the right maintenance standards in place. SFG20 helps manufacturers prioritise maintenance around production-critical assets such as power, HVAC, compressed air, ventilation and water systems, reducing the risk of avoidable failures that could disrupt operations.

SFG20 provides maintenance schedules covering the building services, infrastructure and supporting assets commonly found in manufacturing environments, including power, HVAC, ventilation, compressed air, water and fire safety systems. These schedules can be tailored to reflect asset criticality, operating intensity and site conditions such as dust, heat, vibration, humidity and shift patterns. By defining task requirements, frequencies, estimated durations and required skill levels, SFG20 helps facilities teams plan maintenance around production schedules, allocate resources more effectively and reduce reactive work.

As the industry standard for building maintenance, SFG20 provides more than 1,500 maintenance schedules covering the building services, infrastructure and supporting assets found across industrial environments. Regular updates reflecting relevant legislation and industry best practice help organisations create structured planned preventative maintenance programmes, standardise requirements across multiple sites and strengthen compliance.

Through Facilities-iQ, organisations can tailor SFG20 schedules to their assets and operating conditions, then integrate those requirements with CAFM, CMMS, enterprise asset management and downstream operating systems to support the planning, delivery and tracking of maintenance work.
