De-Mystifying Robotics for Facilities
- What works
- What does not - How to use robots with change management - Dealing with unions - Long-term trends in the facility management industry and how it ties to technology - Where is the robotics & AI industry going - How to get the best ROI and reliability from robotics overall Dr Anand Lalwani is a PhD from Stanford University in robotics & is the founder and CEO of Cardinal Robotics - one of the largest solution provider for robotics in the cleaning space. He has worked as a janitor having swept floors of restaurants & hospitals, and has a passion for helping the front-line custodian in becoming a robot operator - bringing pride into their work. Cardinal's mission is to help large enterprises adopt, deploy & maintain robots at scale while driving ROI and meaningful enhancements in productivity. With recent hikes in wages, janitorial companies are being squeezed from all sides where IFM is looking to cut costs & workers are demanding more pay. Without robots, it becomes difficult. Cardinal helps companies like Kaiser, Stanford Hospital, Disney, MGM (this very building we are in is cleaned by Cardinal's bots), Cushman & Wakefield, CBRE etc. adopt and deploy en-masse robots. Cardinal's speciality is in servicing robots - with 2,600+ technicians nationwide & in financing the bots so it can live on opex budgets instead of capex.

Robert Phinney, AIA, LEED Fellow, FitWel. ENV SPThe Role of Facilities Staff in the Decarbonization of Our Built Environment
EdiAs regulations, building codes, and investment attitudes push our buildings toward decarbonization, significant hurdles remain for existing buildings to meet these goals as budgets are limited for desperately needed capital improvements. In many cases, achieving these energy reduction goals falls squarely on the shoulders of the facilities staff as a result. Based on our 40-year history working with building owners across the country, Marx|Okubo can share a framework to enhance the facilities staff’s ability to positively, and cost-effectively contribute to any decarbonization efforts. We will discuss the tools and resources that are available to assist with this, learn of the next generation of building performance standards (BPSs), identify ways to enhance maintenance protocols to optimize building operations at all phases of their life-cycle, and the critical voice that facilities staff have in capital planning projects around building electrification and energy efficiency.
