Ministry of the Interior and Safety Advances 'Government Office Building Facility Management System'... Integrates 'Beacon' Technology into Building Management

Expected to be widely used for on-site worker safety management and indoor navigation

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Government Complex Management Headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 8th that it plans to advance the ‘Government Complex Facility Management System (G-FMS)’ by standardizing the maintenance work of facilities in 13 government complexes and establishing a big data technology foundation.

The Government Complex Management Headquarters has been gradually building a digital-based Government Complex Facility Management System (G-FMS) since 2019 to manage 13 complexes nationwide in an integrated manner. This year, it plans to apply wireless communication beacon technology that provides location information to complex management tasks to create efficient complex management and a safe complex environment.

The inspection method using beacons is an inspection technology that complements the drawbacks of the existing inspection method using NFC cards (Near Field Communication). Inspectors can check surrounding facility information and inspection items and record inspection status information, enabling more accurate inspection and maintenance work. Facility inspection information is accumulated and recorded in a database (DB), allowing management of inspection history as well.

Beacons are expected to be widely used not only in facility management but also in on-site worker safety management, indoor navigation, and more. Linked with the smart government complex integrated management system, they will be efficiently utilized for manpower and budget savings and scientific complex management based on statistics.

The Government Complex Management Headquarters developed the beacon-based inspection method and registered a patent in 2019. Starting with the Sejong Complex this year, it plans to expand the ‘Government Complex Facility Management System’ to 13 complexes nationwide by 2022 to establish an integrated facility management infrastructure.

So-yeon Jo, head of the Government Complex Management Headquarters, said, “We will continuously apply digital new technologies to the facility management expertise of the Government Complex Management Headquarters to provide a safer and more convenient environment.”
