Managed Services

What Are Managed Services for Critical Facilities?

Managed services for critical facilities provide continuous oversight, automation, and intelligent control to support reliable operations across power, cooling, environmental, and security systems. PLC Group applies data-driven processes and an integrated technology ecosystem to ensure that essential infrastructure remains reliable, resilient, and compliant across distributed sites.
Managed services for critical facilities go beyond simple oversight; they represent a complete transfer of operational risk and performance responsibility. At PLC Group, we define Managed Services as the convergence of operational excellence and proprietary technology. Unlike traditional models that rely heavily on manual field teams, our approach integrates your physical infrastructure that includes but is not limited to HVACs, generators, and power systems, directly into our Remote Monitoring & Control (RMS) ecosystem. We provide a single-vendor solution that combines real-time monitoring with automated control logic, ensuring your critical sites maintain peak uptime while we handle the complexities of asset health, energy efficiency, and compliance

Why Are Remote Managed Services Important?

Remote managed services help organizations maintain operational continuity in environments where uptime is non-negotiable. Continuous telemetry, automated alarm responses, and trend-based analytics reduce performance risk. These capabilities allow facility teams to identify early indicators of failure, prevent outages, meet SLA commitments, and optimize operational costs.
In today’s distributed network environments, distinct visibility is the only way to prevent costly downtime. Remote Managed Services are critical because they shift operations from a “reactive” model to a “predictive” model. By continuously analyzing data points such as temperature variances, power load, and fuel levels, we can identify performance degradation before an outage occurs. This capability is essential for meeting strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs), optimizing Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), and reducing the operational expenditure (OPEX) associated with unnecessary truck rolls and emergency repairs.

PLC Group Managed Services – Turnkey Deployments 

In today’s data-driven world, your infrastructure shouldn’t just exist, it should communicate to be able to take some data-driven proactive decisions. At PLC Group, we provide a comprehensive, turnkey managed service that takes the complexity out of remote monitoring. With PLC Group acting as a trusted partner and an “integrated one-stop-shop” for all required hardware, software, analytics,  project execution and online and onsite support to ensure best-in-class service delivery, performance and quality. 

1. Engineering & Strategic Deployment

We don’t believe in “one size fits all.” Our process begins with custom engineering in close collaboration with our customer to ensure the monitoring system is built for specific environment.

  • Hardware Design & Specification: In-house designed and custom-engineered sensory elements and wide-range of gateways and controllers designed to cater specific requirements and configurations. 
  • Supply & Logistics: Seamless procurement of hardware, ensuring all components are compatible and pre-vetted.
  • Professional Installation: Expert on-site technicians handle the physical deployment, in conformation with health, safety and quality standards. The field experts are equipped with necessary tools, training and expertise to ensure smooth deployment. 

2. The Digital Ecosystem

  • Flexible Platform Deployment: We have flexibility to deploy our advanced AI & ML based facilities transformation platform aka Actionable Intelligence (AxIn) platform both on cloud and on-prem depending upon our customer priority.
  • Remote Configuration: We have a highly trained back-office configuration team to provide 
  • Testing & Validation: Rigorous “burn-in” testing to ensure data accuracy and system resilience before handing over the keys.

The Managed Services Lifecycle

Our relationship doesn’t end at installation. We provide a continuous loop of support to ensure your system remains accurate and online.
