As we adjust our clocks and settle into shorter days, facility managers know that this season requires a sharper focus on visibility, safety, and maintenance. Winter brings unique challenges, from ensuring adequate lighting to adapting facility operations for weather and limited daylight. With ProxyPics, facility managers can access an expansive network of trained proxies who are ready to assist in navigating these seasonal shifts, delivering accurate data and visual documentation for proactive maintenance and compliance.

Here’s how ProxyPics supports facility managers to stay ahead of winter demands:

Exterior Lighting Inspections for Nighttime Visibility

Shorter days mean increased reliance on outdoor lighting to maintain safety and visibility. Our proxies conduct detailed exterior lighting inspections, ensuring every light source is fully operational. We capture comprehensive data points, including fixture conditions, wattage assessments, and light spread coverage. With detailed before-and-after images, facility managers can prioritize immediate repairs, keeping entrances, parking lots, and pathways well-lit as darkness falls earlier.

Signage and Brand Compliance Checks

Cold weather can damage exterior signage, which is crucial for brand presence and clear navigation in your facility. ProxyPics provides seasonal signage inspections, documenting every detail from signage illumination to the structural integrity of mounts and fastenings. Our proxies assess materials for potential winter vulnerabilities and confirm ADA compliance, ensuring your brand’s visibility is reliable and accessible even in lower light conditions.

HVAC System Readiness for Winter Demands

As temperatures drop, HVAC systems need to operate efficiently to keep indoor environments comfortable. Use our tech to equip personnel with access to rooftops to conduct on-site HVAC inspections. They can use our inspection tools to document equipment conditions and identify potential issues with air filters, ductwork, and thermostats. With 360View technology, we provide facility managers a full visual scope of equipment areas, allowing for remote review of system readiness and early intervention where necessary.

Parking Lot and Pavement Safety Surveys

Winter safety extends beyond the building to outdoor surfaces where snow and ice accumulate. Our proxies conduct comprehensive parking lot surveys, capturing the condition of pavement, signage, and ADA accessibility elements. We document any cracks, uneven surfaces, and faded line markings that could become hazardous under snow or ice. Facility managers receive actionable insights, enabling them to schedule preventive maintenance and prioritize safety measures.

Snow Equipment Inventory and Placement Verification

With winter comes the need for snow removal, and ProxyPics makes it easier to keep track of snow equipment inventory across your facilities. Our proxies verify the placement and operational status of snow blowers, salt containers, shovels, and plows. Through organized and up-to-date documentation, facility managers gain peace of mind knowing that each location is ready for any sudden snowfall, with every essential piece of equipment accounted for and accessible.

At ProxyPics, our proxies are equipped with the technology and training to deliver clear, actionable data, tailored for the high standards facility managers require—whether it’s lighting assessments or pavement inspections. This winter, leverage our nationwide panel or equip your team with the support they need to maintain a safe and efficient facility, no matter how early the sun sets.
