Desigo Control Point is a consistent concept designed to simplify operation and monitoring of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, and shading of plants, floors, and smaller buildings. In creating the product, Siemens was looking for technology that could offer a superior UI/UX and dynamically changeable graphics, plus easy and fast realization. Siemens’ developers worked with J2’s Professional Services team to apply FIN Framework to produce Desigo Control Point with it’s plug’n’play integration of existing Desigo controllers.
The result is an embedded building management station provided in three different sized HMIs as well as in a global controller. Siemens were particularly impressed with FIN’s energy dashboards that make viewing and managing energy data easy on desktop and mobile but also in kiosk mode. Plus the ability to have secure, remote access.
The Siemens IoT connectivity team had an urgent requirement to create a connect gateway for brownfield buildings to ensure cloud connectivity and allow data transfer from/to its own and 3rd party controllers and systems into their cloud solution, Building Operator. They worked with the J2 Innovations team to create the X300 Gateway which is a data pump that learns the connected devices so that modelled data can be easily consumed by Building Operator.
FIN Framework was chosen as it was used as a plug-and-play solution that can be integrated with little engineering and commissioning effort, saving time and resource. End users of the gateway can operate the building via the cloud and have full transparency of data across the site from anywhere.
The Siemens team were delighted by the result that was cost-efficient and highly effective.
