FIN Intelligence is Here

FIN Intelligence-2

Exciting news from J2 Innovations! FIN Intelligence is officially here. This sophisticated new set of features is designed to harness the power of generative AI and leverage large language models (LLMs) to perform intelligent and complex tasks. The use of generative AI makes FIN easier to engineer (FIN Intelligent Tagging), easier to use (FIN Intelligent Assistant), and easier to operate (FIN Intelligent Optimization). 

By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, FIN Intelligence is set to enhance the way our products operate, offering better usability of all FIN-based products. With these powerful capabilities, users will experience a new level of efficiency, accuracy, and convenience.

FIN Intelligence is a holistic set of AI features deeply integrated into the applications and overall user experience of FIN Framework. The purpose of FIN Intelligence is to bring Building Automation Systems to the next level of simplicity for the end user, system operator, energy manager, and maintenance staff.

 

FIN Intelligent Tagging

For system integrators, FIN Intelligent Tagging makes engineering easier by substantially speeding up the process of tagging data. Many existing building automation systems are comprised of equipment and points that have been engineered by multiple contractors over the course of multiple years and can present a daunting challenge to tag properly. With FIN Intelligent Tagging, the use of generative AI automatically looks for patterns and utilizes prior learnings to apply the proper tags. 

System Integrators will now be able to create databases conforming to data standards, like the Project Haystack, more consistently in dramatically less time. It can help pre-format existing building data so that more buildings can benefit from metadata and, therefore, make them future-proofed by simplifying data analysis. 

 

FIN Intelligent Assistant

For system operators, FIN Intelligence Assistant dramatically improves how users operate their buildings using FIN. Through the use of an intelligent ChatBox, it's possible to ask for information about your smart building using natural language. This is an incredible benefit for different types of users.

For the end user, who is not an expert in BAS, it makes using your system easier. You can now just ask questions to the chat to get real-time or historical information about your building. Questions like:

  • Do I have any important alarms that need attention?
  • Are any lights still on in occupied zones?
  • How is my energy consumption this week compared to last week?
  • Are there any priority maintenance actions I need to take?
This makes the system easier to use for end users and maintenance staff as FIN Intelligence knows your smart building: the equipment, the points, the schedules, the historical data and more.

FIN Intelligence has also been trained to be an expert in HVAC and lighting and has a deep knowledge of FIN Framework. This means that system integrators can ask the system questions in natural language, like 'How can import a CSV file into a history?', and they will be presented with step-by-step instructions and product documentation to complete the task.


FIN Intelligent Optimization

For system operators, FIN Intelligent optimization makes it easier to operate smart equipment in your building. This generative AI feature is dedicated to optimizing the performance of chilled water plants. It can analyze the current demand and weather data to predict the cooling load of the building. It will then sequence and load multiple chillers to maximize energy savings and minimize maintenance costs. FIN Intelligence optimization is not limited to chiller plants; it can also be applied to heating plants and other major subsystems in the building. Stay tuned for more exciting applications and use cases. 

FIN Intelligence is a new-generation technology that we are excited to add to our FIN Framework platform. This new suite of tools makes interacting with our technology more intuitive (and human-centric) and is an exciting new development for the Building Automation industry. The current version is in beta and only available to selected OEM partners. If you want to be one of the first to experience FIN Intelligence, reach out to our team. We see this as a big step towards higher adoption of building management systems in buildings of all sizes, thus driving energy savings and a more sustainable future.
