The Challenge
Client offered a Temperature Monitoring System which consists of Wireless Transmitters and Application Software. Third party BACnet Application such as a Building Automation System needs access to vital parameter such as temperature, humidity, CO2, etc., measured by wireless sensor devices. Client needed a solution to allow data exchange from its Temperature Monitoring System with BMS.
About The Customer
A leading manufacturer of wireless temperature- and humidity-transmitters.
The Solution
SoftDEL developed a software BACnet Gateway that converts the sensor data from the Temperature Monitoring System into a BACnet format. SoftDEL used its own BACnet/IP stack in developing the gateway solution. The gateway included a data logging facility for storing data until retrieval.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Medanta the Medicity
Medanta is one of India's largest multi-super specialty institutes located in Gurgaon, India. Some of the key challenges facing Medanta included: - No Monitoring & Control over Energy Use, Indoor Air Quality, Indoor Lighting Quality & Noise Levels. - No compliance monitoring of temperature & pressure in critical care wards. - Energy bills were a surprise with no way to forecast energy costs. - Missing data & insights that could be used for targeting areas of improvement. - Existing Billing Management System (BMS) was inflexible and could not be used across the enterprise to serve the needs of different users. Requirements Based on these challenges, Medanta was looking for a comprehensive solution to Monitor & Control: - Energy Usage - Power Generators - Clean Rooms - HVAC Temperature - Chiller Temperature - Hydrant Pressure - Air Quality & Noise Levels - Critical Wards

Ensures Cold Milk in Your Supermarket
As of 2014, AK-Centralen has over 1,500 Danish supermarkets equipped, and utilizes 16 operators, and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. AK-Centralen needed the ability to monitor the cooling alarms from around the country, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Each and every time the door to a milk cooler or a freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in southwestern Odense. This type of alarm will go off approximately 140,000 times per year, equating to roughly 400 alarms in a 24-hour period. Should an alarm go off, then there is only a limited amount of time to act before dairy products or frozen pizza must be disposed of, and this type of waste can quickly start to cost a supermarket a great deal of money.
