Connected systems. Precise conditions.
For a new production building at QSIL Ceramics, cunnect contributed to building automation across several technical disciplines. Different requirements for room services, comfort and use were brought together in a coordinated automation concept. Our work focused on functional integration, parameterisation and common operation, making complex building services understandable and usable in an industrial setting.
The challenge
An industrial building places demanding requirements on the interaction of its technical services. Different conditions of use must be considered while shared functions and the responsibilities of individual systems remain clear. Good automation therefore requires more than connecting equipment: it depends on a precise understanding of what each function must achieve.
cunnect’s challenge was to coordinate room-related functions with the services supplying them. Measurement information, operating modes and user controls needed to form a consistent functional solution.
Particular attention was paid to the boundary between independent system functions and overarching building automation. This distinction is essential to integration that works technically and remains understandable and usable in everyday operation.
Our approach
We worked on the overarching automation logic and assigned the integrated information to its intended functions. Parameterisation and functional relationships were considered together so that individual building services could operate within a coherent overall concept.
Room-related operating modes were coordinated with the functions supplying those rooms. This allows the automation to reflect the relationship between use and technical supply while keeping the responsibilities of the participating systems clear.
A common visualisation brings relevant conditions and controls together in an understandable way. Additional comfort functions were incorporated into the same operating concept. The result is a coherent view of building services rather than a collection of disconnected displays.
The reference illustrates our strength where several disciplines meet: translating technical relationships into clear functions and understandable operation. This provides a well-founded basis for using complex building services in an industrial environment.
