Building Management Solutions

Building Management Services(BMS) provide a single sea for monitoring and control of various parameters in a building for all the utilities, integration with fire and life safety systems to offer precision controls, automation, safety lockouts, energy savings and advanced information management systems to enable take corrective actions – pre and post events.

The Building Management System monitors each area in the following ways:

In addition, the BMS also collects and stores historical data that can be used for trend analysis and examination. The data can help operators predict when there might be an issue or when maintenance needs to occur within a certain area of the BMS. The information comes through in real time, so engineers can immediately resolve an issue.

A Building Management System can help operators monitor the facility from any location, on any device. This allows the data center manager to be proactive if there’s ever an issue with part of the system instead of taking a reactive approach.

If there is ever an alarm for a system failure or issue, a facility engineer is notified and can immediately go to the site and resolve any possible problem. Some issues, such as temperature control, can be fixed through automation, so the engineer or manager does not have to visit the location.

Educational Institutions

When enrolling a child into school, one of the frequent concerns for parents is usually how safe the institution is. Installing security systems is bound to improve the parents’ confidence and peace of mind with regards to their child’s environment. In the recent past, video surveillance and biometric systems have become increasingly popular at educational facilities and administrators are using the extra levels of security this brings to enhance safety in a variety of ways.

It has been proven that students who are monitored are more focused and productive than unmonitored students because surveillance focuses the mind. It also makes students more self driven and results in independent individuals in the long-term.

Moreover, not only do security cameras in schools help maintain safety around the campus, they also encourage good behavior. Conspicuously placed school surveillance cameras have been shown to reduce threats of violence and vandalism drastically, so if an incident occurs in a part of the school where the surveillance system has been installed, it can be noticed and relevant action taken immediately.

Integrating security systems to facilitate the smooth running of activities in learning institutions, while keeping parents informed is the direction technology is taking. Cashless card systems for students to purchase their daily necessities, is not only safe but teaches the child how to budget, all this time alerting the parents with every swipe of a card. The same card could be used for identification, library access and book borrowing records, bus access to name but a few.  Paperless delivery systems where suppliers are pre – booked into a rota that is in sync with the accounting system.
