Agenda

• Integration Issues Introduction
• A Typical Building vs. An Intelligent Building
• Principles of Integrated Solutions
• Four Case Studies
• Service Support
• QA

3
A Typical Building Setup

• Systems operate in isolation
• Information not shared across platforms
• Asset data is often duplicated

4
The Intelligent Building

• Systems share information through a central,
  unifying system
• An interconnected smart building enables advanced
  control and a higher level of automation to save
  energy and improve productivity

5
Integrated Solutions for Energy Security Energy

Campus Integration Issues Compound

• Legacy Equipment, Policies, Administration, and
  Competing approaches
• Legacy equipment is easy to integrate compared to
  multiple buildings telecommunications
  infrastructures.
• Some are open, others are proprietary and/or
  obscure.
• Differing telecommunications infrastructures
• Transaction-based middleware cant provide
  consistent performance or reliability
• Differing densities of Measurement
  Instrumentation
• Some buildings have a sufficient number of
  sensors meters to provide sufficient data for
  an energy efficiency play. Others have little to
  nothing at all.

Second Line of Defense (SLD)

• Mission
• Strengthen the capabilities of partner countries
  to deter, detect, and interdict illicit
  trafficking of special nuclear and other
  radioactive materials at international border
  crossings including airports, seaports, and other
  points of entry/exit.
• Strategy
• Develop cooperative efforts to mitigate the risk
  of illicit trafficking through
• Search, detection, and identification of nuclear
  and other radioactive materials
• Development of response procedures and
  capabilities
• Deterrence of future trafficking in illicit
  nuclear and nuclear-related materials
• Goal
• Deliver an effective and sustainable global
  capability to deter, detect, and interdict
  illicit trafficking in special nuclear and other
  radioactive materials

Service Support

• The Long-Term Differentiator for Successful
  Projects

39
Support as a Success Factor(See Frost
Sullivan, March 2011)

• Maximizing Return on Automation Solution
  Investments through Effective Technical Support
• People, Process, Product
• The order is important
• Average Cost of 24 hours of Downtime 6.3M
• In some industries, 6.4M is the average cost for
  1 hour of Downtime
• Key Customer Criteria for Solutions Providers in
  Order
• Quality
• Support
• Price
• Delivery Time
• Vendor Flexibility

1. Reputation Expertise
2. Product Innovation
3. Warranty

  Agreements
• Without regard to the mix of vendor components
• Global Consistency with Local Availability
• One model for all locations with local resources
  familiar with site specific needs

Summary

• What Weve Learned.

43
Integrating Disparate Systems Requires

• Hardware Agnosticism from Sale to Service
  Support
• Even Greenfield projects are best served by
  multiple providers
• Realtime Middleware as the Glue for Integration
• Transaction-based middleware cant provide
  consistent performance or reliability
• A Service Support Offering for the Real World
• Not just a support offering for a single vendors
  offerings.
• A Solutions Oriented Approach
• Making The Most of Your Energy Requires more than
  a mere Collection of Components. It Requires A
  Big-Picture Solutions Mind-set.

Conclusions

• Facility Managers need solutions that can assist
  them to keep operational costs low, Energy
  Efficiency high, and their facility in top
  working order, such as
• Building Systems that can work together to extend
  beyond their individual capabilities and enable a
  truly intelligent building
• Top tier solutions for Facilities Monitoring that
  can scale from small buildings to large scale
  commercial enterprises and close the gap between
  Building Automation and Facilities Management.
• Solutions are currently deployed in Hospitals,
  Universities, Airports, High-rise offices, and
  Exhibition Centers. All of the power used in
  these systems is available and can be applied to
  your facility today.
