Lack of building management systems leads to poor network connectivity

 

Infrastructure is one of the major components that play a significant role in the efficient functioning of an industry. Be it any domain, manufacturing, packaging or assembly, seamless operations help in meeting the deliveries in time. This in return establishes goodwill of the company. Now, to bring this into place, building management system can act as the pillar supporting such positive development.

Building Energy Management Systems

With technical advancements and various research and developments happening round the clock, it is now possible to deploy Internet of Things in the industrial setup. This means that the industrial components like machines, display panels, data centers, access points or even gates can be connected in a secured network. This network can be controlled by a central hub making network connectivity sustainable.

In the absence of such advanced connected systems, companies have faced unwanted conditions of inefficiency and losses. The primary cause of such shortcomings were recorded to be human errors, incorrect analytics of raw material and output from the machine, or downtime due to power outages.

Numerous plants have now realised the importance of predictive maintenance, power distribution, and overall network connectivity. A significant chunk of challenges faced have been looked after and served of great help to the business. The perks of investing in a network connected ecosystem are:

  • A complete track of how, where and when power is being consumed; therefore saving on electricity by turning off the air flow and lights when not required
  • Knowing and understanding how the machinery behaves, the throughput it generates on different input levels and optimising the product
  • Decreasing the equipment operating cost and expenditures by about 15% annually. This practice ultimately results in reducing expenditure. This results in increasing the value of the property and ultimately, the company.
  • Proving regulated flow of electricity, air, lighting and temperature in the interior of the office space and the workstation where the machinery is kept
  • Ensures absolute security of location where only authorised access shall be granted. This has helped to secure a lot of researches patent by names of specific individuals or companies.
  • Integration of third-party devices like CCTV, biometric controls, etc. has added mainly to a disciplined access structure.

Apart from this, the employees also enjoy working in a technically sound workplace with reduced human efforts. This in return has fetched a lot of brownies to the company.

  • With the technology coming into power, a lot of human calculation and analytical work comes to a standstill. The entire computation is computerised, thus promising accuracy.
  • Reduces the harmful emissions in the plant, giving them a different perspective to the workplace.
  • Granting access at different floors or rooms of the building will help in ensuring customised comfort for people at various places in the office or industry.

Moreover, indulging in such practices will help to add an environmental factor in the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the company as well!

EFF: No Digital Surveillance of Iranians at the U.S. Border—or Within the U.S.

No Digital Surveillance of Iranians at the U.S. Border—or Within the U.S. Only days into heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, media outlets have published disturbing reports of increased scrutiny of people of Iranian descent at U.S. borders, including in at least one case involving a traveler’s phone. EFF strongly opposes any targeting of people for digital surveillance based on their race, religion, or nationality, at our border and in our interior. And we remind all members of the public to practice surveillance self-defense. Disturbing Reports from the Border On January 5, media outlets reported that more than 60 people of Iranian descent, including U.S. citizens, were held at the border between Canada and Washington state for many hours and questioned about their perceived connections to Iran. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) denied that it detained or refused entry to Iranians based on their national origin, a claim contested by accounts f

EFF: Corporate Speech Police Are Not the Answer to Online Hate

Corporate Speech Police Are Not the Answer to Online Hate A coalition of civil rights and public interest groups issued recommendations today on policies they believe Internet intermediaries should adopt to try to address hate online. While there’s much of value in these recommendations, EFF does not and cannot support the full document. Because we deeply respect these organizations, the work they do, and the work we often do together; and because we think the discussion over how to support online expression—including ensuring that some voices aren’t drowned out by harassment or threats—is an important one, we want to explain our position. We agree that online speech is not always pretty—sometimes it’s extremely ugly and causes real world harm. The effects of this kind of speech are often disproportionately felt by communities for whom the Internet has also provided invaluable tools to organize, educate, and connect. Systemic discrimination does not disappear and can even be ampl

Living on the (IT) Edge: Schneider Electric at HPE Discover 2018

Image
We’re here at HPE Discover 2018 , proudly sponsoring the event and enjoying a jam-packed few days in Las Vegas. The data center industry has experienced tremendous disruption in the last decade. The fourth Industrial Revolution, with its IT/OT convergence, the proliferation of IoT, and insatiable demand for digital connectivity, is creating the opportunity to push the envelope of performance beyond the obvious and create new business value. And there’s no bigger opportunity right now than at the edge. At the same time, these new paradigms are also driving more complexity: companies today are trying to manage a combination of environments, from large centralized data centers on-premises or in the cloud, regional edge data centers, to local edge data centers. We have more data centers, intertwined across more locations, and with more data, than ever before. All of this adds up to promising opportunities on the horizon for our customers – but an equally daunting number of new challenges
