AI in the real estate industry
Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly important in the real estate industry, particularly for property management companies. The use of AI allows for significantly more efficient services and internal processes. Automated systems can process tenant inquiries more quickly or support recurring administrative tasks such as billing and document management. Minol has already successfully implemented initial applications, including an AI-powered telephone hotline available 24/7 to provide support in the event of alarming smoke detectors.
Minol represents the entire Minol-Zenner Group at IPAI, which includes, among others, the LoRaWAN network operator. Zenner Connect, the measuring instrument manufacturer and smart city solutions provider Zenner International, as well as the AI specialist LPDG and the energy and e-mobility specialist GP joules belong. With membership in the IPAI Minol underlines its ambition to actively shape digitalization in the real estate industry, in the smart city and the energy industry, and to promote innovative technologies for a sustainable energy and building industry.
