In the pursuit of accelerated time-to-market and heightened productivity, plant managers often encounter the challenge of upgrading complex systems for digital transformation, which can be both time-consuming and costly. By adopting Advantech’s multi-protocol, cross-system integration solution, managers can seamlessly transition from traditional to future network infrastructure with minimal downtime and maximum adaptability.

System integration involves amalgamating disparate building systems into a unified graphical interface, ensuring cohesive operation. This consolidation simplifies facilities management tasks by providing a centralized access point for system controls, encompassing monitoring, alarming, graphics, and data trends.

Our advanced technology solutions, incorporating protocol gateways, data concentrators, and PLC, facilitate cross-system integration, protocol conversion, real-time data collection, and visual monitoring. This empowers factory managers to optimize production efficiency, ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery of high-quality products.

Integration is feasible across various building automation systems (BAS) platforms, with our experienced engineering team proficient in integrating major systems such as Trane, Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, and more.

Maximizing Efficiency through Integrated Systems

System integration offers numerous advantages for buildings and their occupants. It streamlines control, monitoring, alarming, and trend analysis by consolidating all building systems into one accessible platform, anytime and anywhere.

Various building systems can be integrated, such as:

• Interior climate control and monitoring
• Interior and exterior lighting
• Utility monitoring
• Energy management and reporting
• Elevator/escalator monitoring
• CO monitoring and car park ventilation systems
• PLC equipment
• Fire and alarm panels
• Alternative energy systems
• Critical environments like data centers, clean rooms, hospitals, etc.

Commonly integrated network protocols include:

• BACnet MS/TP
• BACnet IP
• Modbus
• LON
• KNX/EIB
• DALI
• OPC DA/UA/AE
• MQTT
