HAZARDS AROUND

While working live in the energized grid, presence of voltage around the workers requires special attention. However, live-line (live working) techniques are widely applied for decades, several accidents in the past prove that the level of safety must be improved to minimize the number and seriousness of injuries in the future.
In the high voltage grid, bare-hand method is a common technique for safe live work. In the surroundings of any energized equipment,...

Using Building Automation Analytics to Drive Operational Insights

Building automation systems (BAS) continuously generate an enormous amount of data on HVAC equipment operation, energy consumption patterns, sensor readings, and more. This data, when properly harnessed, holds the key to unlocking critical insights that can significantly enhance building operations. Advanced analytics, tailored for the building automation domain, transform raw data into a wellspring of actionable information.

Building automation systems (BAS) constantly collect a vast stream of data. Temperatures, equipment runtimes, energy consumption patterns, sensor readings – a modern BAS generates an incredible amount of information about the inner workings of your building. However, this raw data alone doesn't provide much value. The true potential lies in harnessing building automation analytics – tools that transform that data into actionable insights, empowering you to make smarter decisions that optimize your building's operations.

Harnessing the Power of Analytics

Imagine analytics as a set of specialized lenses for examining your building's data. Descriptive...
