SMART Building Control for HVAC, Security and Facilities Management
With interoperable, connected devices and systems, the functions of a building can be managed from one space, making your building SMART.
Buildings need to provide various functions to satisfy the needs of occupants. Fundamentals include, lighting, temperature control, air quality, security, sanitation and entertainment. With interoperable, connected devices and systems, all these functions of a building can be managed from one space, making your building SMART.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
HVAC equipment for large offices and factories requires control management. With clever integration of embedded and IoT systems, your HVAC systems can be incorporated into a SMART system.
Sensors on HVAC equipment can monitor temperatures, flow rates, performance and failures individually. With the clever integration of IoT gateways, these signals can be converted into actionable data and sent to one space for visual interpretation.
Our range of IoT gateways are concerned with device connectivity, protocol translation, data filtering and processing, security, updating or any other such data applications.
Facilities Management
Office workers require lighting and a moderate ambient temperature. Building managers need to respect environmental issues and keep costs to a minimum. Touchscreen Panel PCs are the perfect product to integrate and enable management of:
Ambient Temperature
- Connecting directly with HVAC systems and sensors
- Energy consumption monitoring
- Zonal designation
Lighting
- Automatic control linked with room booking system
- Ambient light sensing
Access
- Room bookings
- Card zonal access with RFID readers
Assured supply a large range of touchscreen panel pcs, including PoE powered systems which allow for easy installation. Read our article on PoE Panel PCs here.
