What is IoT in Smart Buildings?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming data analytics of buildings, allowing real-time data analytics powering energy savings through connected devices, sensors, and equipment to the internet. This advanced connectivity helps Smart Buildings solutions drive energy efficient operations. IoT connectivity drives data-driven decisions, optimising resource usage, and increase overall energy efficiency. 

 

Why IoT connecitivty for BMS systems?

IoT technology offers numerous benefits for BMS monitoring of HVAC infrastructure:

  • Real-time Monitoring: Monitor and maintain the BMS for efficient operation in real time.
  • Data-Driven Decisions: Make informed decisions based on accurate data to improve energy usage and performance.
  • Resource Optimization: Efficiently manage HVAC infrastructure alongside other buildings systems for holistic control.
  • Automation: Automate irrigation systems, machinery, and other processes to save time and labour.

Enhancing building performance efficiency

Energy Efficiency: How IoT can reduce energy consumption by optimizing heating, cooling, and lighting.
Cost Savings: Reducing operational costs through better resource management.
Real-time Monitoring & Control: Access to real-time data for quicker decision-making.
Automation: Automating building processes for smoother operations.
Predictive Maintenance: Using IoT for monitoring system health to predict and prevent failures.

 

Where do Millbeck connectivity solutions fit in? 

With many BMS installers and facilities management companies, roll outs require multiple connectivity points with many hundreds of routers.

Milbeck have experience of widescale multi-country deployments allowing seamless deployment of connected routers and SIMs for use in multiple countries, without the need for localised connectivity. The ablility to rollout a single solution across all sites makes the solution flexible and scalable. 

A typical solution is a 4G industrial router with a roaming IoT SIM, managed through our cloud platforms to keep track of data usage and uptime.

To deliver a more seamless and complete service Millbeck provide pre-configured 4G routers for plug and play deployment. Engineers can then simply power up and connect the router to the controller and the system will be online and controllable. The IoT SIMs will connect to the best network in the local area. 

Overcoming Connectivity Challenges

IoT brings numerous benefits to BMS. Security risks are mitigated by connecting with IoT sims to a Private APN. Common concerns around poor quality and patchy coverage are often touted as barriers to adoption, however utilising the correct external antenna and network selection will overcome these concerns.
