Storage facility ownership brings unique operational challenges, especially when managing multiple locations. From rising energy costs to inefficient manual processes, security risks, and maintenance oversight, these concerns can quickly impact profits and tenant satisfaction. At BIITS LLC, we help owners take control of their facilities using Loxone, one of the world’s most powerful and scalable building automation platforms.
Security is one of the most critical aspects of storage property management. Many sites are unstaffed for much of the day, making unauthorized access a real concern. Traditional keypad systems often offer limited accountability and no real-time oversight. With Loxone, access control becomes smart and fully trackable. Owners can grant entry through an app, keypad, key fob, or even license plate recognition, with real-time alerts for suspicious behavior such as forced entry or tailgating. Every access attempt is logged, so you always know who entered, when, and where.
For facilities offering climate-controlled units, protecting customer belongings from extreme temperatures or humidity is essential. A malfunctioning HVAC system can lead to damaged goods, liability issues, and loss of trust. Loxone integrates advanced environmental monitoring, including real-time temperature and humidity sensors. If a reading falls outside of safe ranges, owners are instantly notified. HVAC systems can also adjust automatically based on sensor data, ensuring optimal conditions while minimizing waste.
Energy efficiency is another major opportunity for improvement in storage facilities. Lights left on in unoccupied areas or HVAC running unnecessarily can significantly increase operating costs. BIITS helps facilities install occupancy-based lighting and climate controls that only activate when needed. Site-wide schedules and automation rules help reduce energy consumption without sacrificing comfort or safety. With Loxone, energy usage is also tracked and reported, helping owners identify areas for further savings.
Maintenance is often reactive in the storage industry, with many owners relying on vendors to remind them of service dates, inspections, or warranty expirations. This can lead to unexpected repairs, downtime, and higher costs. With Loxone, all maintenance activity can be tracked and managed in one place. The system logs service intervals, provides reminders for inspections, and monitors equipment performance in real time. Preventive maintenance becomes the standard, reducing costs and improving reliability.
Managing customer access and employee onboarding is another area where automation pays off. Assigning and revoking access for tenants or staff can be complicated with multiple systems in place. Loxone simplifies this by offering centralized user management. Owners can create permission groups, instantly update access, and even generate temporary codes for vendors or movers. When a customer moves out or an employee leaves, access can be revoked with a single click, minimizing security risks.
Life safety systems, such as smoke detectors and fire panels, are critical but often go unchecked until there’s a problem. BIITS can integrate fire and safety monitoring into the Loxone dashboard, giving owners real-time alerts for faults or emergencies. In the event of a fire or smoke detection, automated responses can be triggered—such as unlocking doors, turning on lighting, and notifying management immediately. This improves both safety and compliance.
For owners managing multiple sites, one of the biggest pain points is having to use different systems at each location. This not only creates inefficiencies but also increases the risk of errors. Loxone solves this with a single-pane-of-glass view that brings all locations into one platform. Whether you have two sites or twenty, you can monitor access, energy use, maintenance alerts, and more from anywhere. Templates and rules can be applied across all properties, making operations easier to scale and standardize.
