3. Agenda ● Comments from AHR
● A New Deal
● What is the Edge?
● DDC Reimagined
● Q&A

4. Live from
AHR Expo
● 70,000 Visitors
● Mostly mechanical products
● Solid educational program
● “Data is the new Gold”

5. A New Deal
Changing the dialog between
BAS vendors & building owners
● Open Standards
● Digital Twin
● Service Transparency
Transparency is a key attribute
of the age of data.

17. Enabling the Future Fog
AnkaDOS runs in
ever smaller EAC
devices, eventually
sensors.
EACs are peers in
the Fog cluster.
The Fog allows
analytics to run at the
edge.

18. Reducing Labor & Engineering Costs
1. Setup DDC serial networks
2. Setup & program DDC logic
3. Setup gateway networking
4. Setup gateway mapping/trending
5. Configure gateway/supervisory
devices
6. Install & maintain PC
visualization/UI
7. Tag data on gateway or supervisor
8. Design & bind graphics to points
9. Set up analytics on premise &
cloud
10. Install optimization & informatics
Before AnkaDOS
1. Connect EAC to Internet
2. Discover - EAC auto configures
logic, tags, trending, analytics &
visuals
3. Adjust & customize (optional)
All done using the Internet browser
