The Double-Edged Sword of IoT

IoT is no longer just a buzzword in facilities management, but rather an emerging tool that FMs should have in their toolbelt.   August 13, 2025


By Mackenna Moralez, Associate Editor


Welcome to the season finale of the second season of Facilities in Focus! 

If you’re still thinking that IoT is just a buzzword, Greg Christensen, host of the CMMSRadio podcast is sure to change your mind. In this episode of Facilities in Focus, Mackenna Moralez talks with Christensen as they break down how smart sensors and connected systems are changing the way facility managers work every day. Filled with “aha!” moments that make you think, “why aren’t we doing that yet?” This episode is for every facility professional who wants to stay ahead in the technology game. 

“Technology is not a magic silver bullet,”Christensen says during the episode. “You still have to manage it, scrutinize the data and make sure it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. Otherwise, you’re just firefighting with fancier tools.” 

The Facilities in Focus podcast publishes bi-weekly. The second season will cover technology within the facilities management space.
