Smartstruxure™ System: Advantages Are Obvious
In February 2013 Schneider Electric – a world expert in the sphere of electric power management – presented on the Russian market its SmartStruxure™ system, which is included in the concept of EcoStruxure™ efficient management, which allows to provide monitoring, management and optimization of work of all the building’s engineering systems. This leads to reduction of operating costs of their service in the process of maintenance and guarantees energy saving.
SmartStruxure™ system goes beyond the traditional approach to the information and offers online access real-time to complex data within the whole building, graphics and diagrams, reports and mobile applications, which make maintenance of buildings very efficient. Besides, in the frames of this system there are many additional high-technology functions including analytics of automatic mechanical equipment and optimization of expenses on work of engineering systems of buildings. So, maintenance staff gets a lot of opportunities to explore data about consumption of energy resources and work of such engineering systems as lighting, fire safety, heating, air-conditioning and water supply. Of course, this suggests installation of control and record devices. SmartStruxure™ provides information at any time and in the needed form and, as a system of the new generation, has the whole range of unique advantages:
- SmartStruxure™ is elaborated to simplify integration of life-support systems and safety of objects, and their coordinated work leads to minimization of energy consumption.
- Scalability of the system created on the basis of open protocols.
- Support of WEB-services both from the side of the common server of the system (Enterprise Server) and from the side of local servers of automation.
- A possibility for various systems to exchange data among them by Bacnet/IP protocol.
- Lack of gateways for work on open protocols.
- A simplified access to data.
- Avaliability of ready-made applications for iPhone, iPad, Android and etc.
- Broadened opportunities for the arrangement of schedules, detection of trends, emergency data processing, adjustment of work space of users, and etc.
- An automatic record and analytics of resource consumption.
- Usage of the large library of objective applied applications.
- Intuitive and safe interface.
- Wide possibilities of integration (availability of xDriver and their large library)
- Increase of the safety level of a building on the whole. SmartStruxure™ is a comfortable and modern interface which is adjusted individually according to the requirements of every concrete user.
Being created once in the system, it is reflected at any point of the system while entering it. Users have an access to such data as graphics, emergency alarms, schedules of work of the systems, reports, which may be adjusted both for groups and individually that gives this system an additional security and transparence.
