Until now, the façade has marked the boundary between the inside and outside of a building. But what would happen if this boundary was turned into a connection? If the façade became an interface between the inside and outside, the physical and digital world?
Data and information merge, and building components and even entire buildings are networked with their surroundings. The digital building envelope becomes the backbone of modern, future-oriented buildings and smart cities. It collects and communicates data and information – and creates digital solutions that make our urban spaces more efficient, more sustainable and nicer places to live.
Boundaries become connections, connections become possibilities and possibilities become advantages. With the Schüco IoF, we design and unleash the full power of the digital building envelope.
For façades that can do more.
Every journey, every vision begins with the first step. For the Internet of Façades, the first step is the IoF ID. This is a small tag which gives every façade unit in a building its own digital identity. All of the data, information and documents relating to the unit are stored there and will be available throughout the duration of the unit's useful life. That is not just the first important step towards creating a digital building envelope, it also makes the day-to-day work of Schüco partners much easier.
Which handle was installed? What maintenance work was carried out? How can old components be recycled? All this information is available from the digital twin and can be tracked anytime, anywhere. For clients, investors or facility managers, this means a better overview, more information and ultimately greater control.
The future of the digital building envelope starts here: with Internet of Façades solutions such as the new IoF ID from Schüco. For façades that can do more.
The Schüco IoF ID provides a number of benefits.
No power supply No cabling. No control unit.
The IoF app can be used for both B2B and B2C customers. The difference is in the login. B2B content can be retrieved via login and the appropriate rights. B2C content can be viewed without logging in.
