3M Intelligent Management System (IMS) works by providing a non-intrusive overlay system on the main patching frame that can be continuously monitored to give real-time visibility and control of the connections, and that can be managed from any location with internet access.
Using the database and the intelligent management system can simplify infrastructure administration, optimise the service support, enable automated planning, deployment and provisioning, maximise asset utilisation and minimise downtime. Because information is readily available reporting is made easier, and because of the real-time monitoring and the network mapping security can be improved. The Intelligent Management System is an infrastructure management solution delivering quality, reliability and ease of installation and use no matter how large or complex the project is.
