- Many people are using the cloud today From consumers who stores their pictures and music to Corporate America who use the cloud with in their facilities for their CRM like salesforce and ERP systems. So why not the building and the devices that are with in it….. Today, we will speak about 5 good reason why she should push BACnet data to the cloud. And 1 good reason why not to do it.
- What's not to love 20 years of BACnet technology in the market. 1000’s and 1000’s of devices connected. Grown to 60% world wide market share. Incredible success story Hallmark of good standard is its ability to adapt over time. Anything that is to ridged falls by the way side with the next big technology leap. BACnet has what you need in well structured standard. That is why it continues to be the most popular building automation protocols in the world
- We were talking with our engineers about BACnet and where is came from. He went running to his book shelf and pulled this out. Here is our dog eared copy of the Ashrea standard for BACnet. I believe is dated 199X. I can see but it is extremely out. Our heritage and legacy as a company goes back a long way. You see 37 up there. We have a vender ID of 37. There are over 1000 today. We have been doing this a very long time. How long people have been working with Bacnet is important when you consider the source of knowledge, the source of the products and the companies that you are working with. We did not wake up one day say everyone is doing, lets get into this bacnet thing. This one that we believe in. We have been contributing to and following BACnet for years and years.
- A problem with a specification that has been around for 20 years is the weight of expectations. “Success Breads Success” People also say BACnet would be great, if we could add this or put that in it. OR we throw through these tweaks into it and we can go after this part of the market or it solves this other problem. This becomes very difficult. I have seen other standards collapse under weight of expectations of features and technologies. The key to maintain success in the market place is focus. This is way we have focused work groups to flush out these new requirements for BACnet. There are other things that need to be addressed. Interoperability which is addressed through BTL, and Security is one of them will need to be really looked at in the future. With this, it is very easy for a standard to get defocused. Especially when it has become very successful. People do put a lot of expectations on it.
- The next step for BACnet is to make its information available in the cloud and for people using this technology remotely.
- A lot of people do cloud technology because it is the hot new thing. Everyone thinks they need cloud. Unless your delivering some business value with some practical application of the technology, it is not going to take off and hold interest.
- Here we have outline a partial application for the cloud which has 4 key points. 1. Extract intelligence 2. To enable Mfgs to add value I highlight MFGs because there are already a lot of BMS systems out there that are providing cloud based access. That is fine because that is a different part of the market. What about mfg’s/people that are deploying equipment in the field, how are they able to take advantage of a cloud based system to get better information about their equipment? 3 Use this cloud based system to improve field support. 4 Use the knowledge that you gain by pushing all this data in the cloud to gain a competitive advantage through better knowing their equipment.
- This is what you should expect from a practical application. Bacnet network and BMS is already putting information into the cloud. click As a mfg, there a lot of BACnet clouds. Click So you as an OEM mfg, what are the 5 things you are going want out of a cloud. These are the 5 points
- 1 remote access and visibility See what my equipment is doing in the field. Want to help my support people gain access into that equipment. I want the ability to remote login and attach – Like being able to tunnel into product’s webserver Overall this gives better visibility into the products in the field.
- People like to see their data. Numbers are flat. Charts and grafts are much easier to a pattern in my data. And see what is going right and wrong.
- Analytics/trending Now that I have this data, I can apply intelligence to it. Look for trends over time where things might be going wrong. Example – Weil-McClain Capture all events in an ignition sequence that happens with in 2 seconds and suck that data in. They want to look at 100’s of ignition sequences over weeks and months to find where there are variabilities. That the sequence in operating properly.
- 4 Alarming and Notification. I would like to know that there is problem before my customer does. As an OEM, I can be notified that there is an issue. I can take actions Roll a truck, notify and on site supervisor that their a problem before some knows it. Wattson study That is a value add that cloud based analytics can provide.
- Product registrations are lacking. No card. As an OEM, you want to know when a product was sold and who it was sold to. Using the cloud, you can start the support and Warranty process. It allows you to manage your customer base and customer experience much better. We can automate the process and suck that information a deliver it to the manufacturer.
- Lets think about how we built a practical cloud. Can we – Yes for all for. With all this, mfgs can a competitive advantage by using the cloud. If that is what you are trying accomplish, how do you do it?
- The key thing about BACnet is the metadata is already there. So you need a good BACnet IoT gateway to get the data up to the cloud. IoT gateways Explorer Connectivity
- You could build your own. Amazon offers a service, platform and you do it your self. This approach will cost $1000’s of dollars The big manufactures all have their cloud. It has taken us 3 years to get where are with our cloud. Any one else wanting a cloud it going to take the same time. Your are working with people who are not cloud developers and this is distracting you from building the best darn piece of equipment for your market. I would urge you to buy. We take the risk off the table and offering free, secure data access through 22.
- Enter on BACnet IoT Gateway Enter on Cortex reads data
- So I made case of you why you want the cloud. Lets talk about why you would not. Hoodies/Hackers that lie in the deep dark web. More data you put in the cloud, the more risk there is. We at SMC take this extremely seriously. We have a lot of protection built on the Amazon platform to protect the data and identities of the people use the cloud system. I would be happy to deliver our security white paper to explain our position on protecting cloud data but we do an extremely good job of locking up and protecting the information. CLICK The thing about the hoodies: it not a kid in a his bedroom. It is a business with a row of “employees” sitting at a desk socking up the data an selling it on a store from on the dark web. You can by anything you on the dark web. This big business. It is important for you to pick venders that have a strong foundation in security that is willing to work with you to insure you have data protection and data privacy.
