# Facility Management

> How facility management and real estate firms use Wherobots for spatial analytics, building intelligence, and portfolio optimization.

Facility managers and real estate operators need spatial intelligence to maintain properties, optimize energy usage, plan expansions, and assess risk across distributed portfolios. Wherobots provides the tools to process building footprints, satellite imagery, and sensor data at the scale of entire portfolios or metropolitan regions.

## How to use these solutions

Treat these notebooks as data engineering patterns as you evaluate Wherobots for your business or organization:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Portfolio Data at Scale" icon="bolt" iconType="solid" href="/tutorials/example-notebooks/part-3-accelerating-geospatial-datasets">
    Load facility records and building footprints into managed WherobotsDB tables, spatially cluster them for fast repeat queries, and export results for downstream systems.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Roof & Structure Assessment" icon="solar-panel" iconType="solid" href="/tutorials/example-notebooks/rasterflow-sam3">
    Detect roofs, solar panels, and other structures in sub-meter aerial imagery from a text prompt with RasterFlow's SAM3 geometry inference.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Portfolio Risk Scoring" icon="chart-line" iconType="solid" href="/tutorials/example-notebooks/noaa-swdi">
    Overlay facility locations with flood zones, wildfire perimeters, seismic hazard maps, and climate projection data to generate location-based risk scores.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Nearby Services & Amenities" icon="map-location-dot" iconType="solid" href="/tutorials/example-notebooks/k-nearest-neighbor-join">
    Find the nearest transit stops, suppliers, and service providers for every facility in a single distributed join to inform space, staffing, and expansion decisions.
