Facilities Net: Navigating the Future of Asset Lifecycle Management

 

As facility managers face increasing pressure to optimize operations and extend asset life, asset lifecycle management is rapidly evolving. Brightly Software’s 2026 Asset Lifecycle Report reveals organizations are shifting from reactive to proactive, data-driven strategies, leveraging AI, IoT, and sustainability. The report highlights a dramatic drop in reactive maintenance (from 52% to 22%), a 247% surge in AI adoption (now 66%), and a heightened focus on environmental impact (83% considering it, up from 51%). This transformation, driven by advanced technologies and data transparency, is reshaping capital planning, improving efficiency, and accelerating progress toward resilient and sustainable operations.
