Many building owners and facility managers are looking for predictive features and functions that say “I’m n ot running the way I should.” By
i ncorporating smart equipment that offers t his functionality as one component within a connected building, facility owners and managers can more effectively ensure that their facility is operating at peak performance.
T he ability of the equipment itself to r eport on its performance and on potential p roblems is a crucial benefit for building o wners and facility managers. Because facility staff no longer have to visually inspect each piece of equipment to detect operating issues, they can more quickly d etermine where to focus their efforts. W hile other technologies, including B MS and cloud-based solutions, can deliver some of this information, the implementation of smart equipment promises to increase the ease and cost- effectiveness of taking corrective action before a potential problem affects a building’s performance.
My company has introduced its own branded ‘Smart Equipment’ to seamlessly connect to a controls system. The equipment can self-identify without r equiring programming tools. When you, as an installer, bundle Smart Equipment with a controls system, you can connect data streams from equipment to the cloud, allowing unprecedented insights into operations.
Smart Equipment offers connectivity a nd intelligence which provides a number of benefits. For example:
■ Equipment already has controls
embedded and can connect seamlessly to a controls systems.
■ On-board controls support cloud-based d ata analytics, including fault detection, to support proactive maintenance and minimise downtime.
■ Smart Equipment helps maximise control for greater efficiency, extended e quipment life and reduced operating c osts.
Smart Equipment-enabled products include chillers and rooftop units.
Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 – often called ‘the fourth industrial revolution’ – follows the first industrial revolution (starting with the invention of the mechanical loom and steam engine), the second (mass production assembly line manufacture and electrification) and the third (the integration of programmable logic controllers, computers, automation and IT). Industry 4.0 can include:
➙ Cyber-physical systems (mechanisms controlled or monitored by computer-based algorithms). ➙ The Internet of Things (the interconnection via the internet of computers embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data). ➙ ‘ Cloud’ computing (using a network of remote
‘Cloud’ computing (using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer).
➙ Additive or 3D manufacturing (whereby material is joined or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object).
➙ Cognitive computing or artificial intelligence (simulating human thought processes in a computerised model).
