Using AI-Powered Assessments to Get Better Data {requires pre-registration and additional fee}
Tuesday July 30, 2024 1:00pm - 2:00pm PDT
Everyone knows you need dependable data if you want to make the right decisions for your campus. But did you know that AI technology is making it easier than ever to get that data?

AI-powered data collection and analysis is delivering better assessments than we could have dreamed of just a few years ago. And better assessment data means better decisions about maintenance, renewals, spending, space use, energy efficiency, new construction, and much more.

Dive into the exciting world of AI assessment tools:
  • See the incredible speed and accuracy of AI-based data collection
  • Explore the efficiency gains from conducting an entire assessment from start to finish in one platform
  • Examine the powerful impacts of data from AI-powered assessments
  • Discover how AI technology will continue to evolve in the future

Whether you’re assessing facility condition, space use, sustainability safety, lighting, technology, asset inventory, or something else, find out how AI-powered tools can dramatically improve your assessment processes and results.

Power of the Pilot

How do you bridge the gap between product research and full implementation when dealing with an enterprise solution? Queue the pilot project. Pilot projects come in all shapes and sizes for all sorts of reasons. They can be a pre-requisite stage in a gated process or baked into a full-implementation. They can be DIY or executed with a vendor partner(s). No matter the case, Pilot Projects are ALWAYS a good idea – I dare you to try to change my mind!

This presentation will discuss benefits, considerations, objectives, and some examples of value-add by way of pilot projects including: uncovering hidden trends, understanding real needs and requirements, team building, product testing, making it break, facilitating process review, and conflict identification.

While project examples will include Digital Twin and Indoor GIS implementations, the lessons apply broadly across the tech landscape.

Surplus Warehousing and Asset Tracking: Scheduling and Inventory System
Thursday August 1, 2024 1:30pm - 2:15pm PDT
Approaching property surplus management requires understanding and implementation of two separate but related processes; This requires a unified scheduling system for acquiring items and processing through their full life cycle of institutional ownership through relinquishment. The related system of support is tracking items through this life cycle for quality control, space management support, and university benefit of revenue. The application utilizes employee and organization data, as well as facilities information data to establish schedule routing and tracking. Inventory is then maintained through database relationships and physical warehouse space. This discussion will examine how this internal system has increased our process turnaround rate by half, has better supported customer interaction, increased our revenue streams, and offers an easily auditable platform

Critical Incident Mapping & Emergency Management for Schools
Thursday August 1, 2024 1:30pm - 2:15pm PDT
State governments are increasingly passing legislation requiring schools to provide critical incident mapping (CIM) to aid first responders and computer-aided dispatch professionals.  In some cases, the state legislation applies only to K-12 school districts and others include higher education institutions.  Regardless, GIS technology is being underutilized to support school risk and emergency managers with these tools.  This presentation will show how Langan is working with schools to provide campus, facility, and indoor GIS mapping capabilities in support of CIM as well as related planning, mitigation, and response tools.  Focused topics to be covered include incident data sharing and collaboration, indoor mapping, life safety and security asset mapping, routing and wayfinding, 3D GIS, best path analysis, and evacuation planning using the latest ArcGIS technologies as well as integrations with a wide variety of school systems and data sources.

From Digital Doodle to Digital Twin: A Strategic Approach to Utility Mapping
Thursday August 1, 2024 1:30pm - 2:15pm PDT
Is your campus read for a ""Digital Twin""?  Many organizations aren't prepared to tackle the cost and effort to jump into the high-quality representation of real-world assets right from the beginning.

We will walk through a systemaic guide to developing an accurate representation of your campus utility data. Starting with what we are calling the ""Digital Doodle,"" each stage allows a campus to have centralized and usable data, see an immediate ROI, and have a blueprint and buy-in to move forward.
