Indirect Refrigerant Leak Detection
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in Operational Intelligence for Facilities Management. Operational intelligence (OI) provides a broader picture of business operations through real-time data analysis, enabling a comprehensive understanding of a business’s current environment and performance. By integrating artificial intelligence, OI can transform complex data into actionable insights, predict trends, and automate decision-making, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and strategic goals of organizations.

What is Operational Intelligence in Facilities Management?
Operational Intelligence (OI) in facilities management is the process of collecting and analyzing real-time data from various sources to gain actionable insights into the performance of facilities.
This approach enables facilities managers to make informed decisions that enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and improve occupant comfort and safety.
By leveraging advanced data analytics and software solutions, OI allows for continuous monitoring and optimization of building operations, energy consumption, and maintenance activities. This proactive approach ensures that facilities are managed more effectively, leading to a more efficient and comfortable built environment.
Key Features of Operational Intelligence
Operational Intelligence in facilities management encompasses several key features that collectively enhance the management and performance of facilities.
These features empower facility managers to optimize performance, enhance efficiency, and ensure a comfortable and safe environment for occupants.
Combining multiple data sources and systems can be technically challenging and time-consuming.
There is often a shortage of skilled professionals who can analyze and interpret the vast amounts of data generated.
The initial investment required for OI solutions can be significant, which may deter some organizations.
Establishing clear and measurable key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate operational performance can be difficult.
Limited awareness of the benefits of OI among facilities managers and stakeholders can hinder adoption and implementation.
Addressing these challenges requires a strategic approach, including investing in training, clearly defining KPIs, and demonstrating the long-term benefits of OI to stakeholders.
Struggling With OI?
Where others used AFDD for efficiency dashboards, we saw something more powerful: A chance to repurpose performance data into prescriptive guidance that directly improves technician response, compliance timelines, and data analysis for resource planning. The BARLO model also achieves significant cost savings by optimizing facility management practices, ensuring efficient and effective operation of facilities.
That’s why we developed BARLO™—Bueno Advanced Refrigerant Leak Optimization—our logic layer for transforming fault or operational issues detection into coordinated action that supports business continuity planning. BARLO = Behavior • Alarm • Root Cause • Leak Detection • Operational Impact BARLO identifies emerging mechanical stress events, aligns them to asset histories, and prescribes field-ready solutions that reduce truck rolls, prevent downtime, and enable compliance from the first response—not the last resort.

Most platforms stop at showing your performance.
We turn that data into your next best action by analyzing data and integrating insights into real-time operations. An effective OI solution is crucial for managing expansive operational data, providing infinite scalability, real-time monitoring, and automatic remediation capabilities.
Operational systems play a vital role in enhancing operational performance by providing visualization features and real-time insights, facilitating data analysis, and automating responses to predefined metrics.
“It tells us where the problem is, what to do about it, and when it needs to be done—before our guys even roll a truck.”
“The Zero Hour Edge gives us predictability. We don’t wait for breakdowns—we stop them.”
