Enabling Technologies and Recent Advancements of Smart Facility Management

With various emerging technologies and integration possibilities, smart facility management has gained wide interest in recent years. Several technologies were introduced to support facilities management and improve decision-making, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twin (DT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain. Yet, facility managers still face challenges related to data handling and the actual implementation of these technologies. Thus, this paper explores the trends and integration possibilities of smart facilities management technologies to provide a deeper understanding of the current research state and the areas for future exploration. The Scopus database is utilized to collect literature data, and a bibliometric analysis is conducted on 7236 publications of different types, including conference publications, articles, reviews, and book chapters, using VOSviewer software. The results revealed a noticeable growth in the annual number of publications related to this field after 2018. BIM, IoT, and DT were seen to share the greatest research attention, with BIM being the dominant technology. With recent wide attention, blockchain technology is noticed to be introducing many integration possibilities. In addition, the prominent contributing authors, countries, and sources to this research area are also identified.
