Automation

Your smart building is only as intelligent as the information it is able to share. If your various automated systems only talk to themselves, your company can be missing out on possible cost savings and operational efficiencies.

Our Automation team provides future-proof strategies that enable your building’s technologies to integrate seamlessly and expand as your business grows. They provide solutions that go beyond your immediate needs and improve how your building functions– intelligently.

Master Planning

Our Automation team experts create a phased roadmap to your organization’s goal– from what is plausible to what is practical– for the smart systems within your portfolio. The resulting master plan is a dynamic document that guides the automation technology to be used for one or a portfolio of your organization’s facilities. The goal is to understand needs and develop the best solutions to achieving a shared vision among key stakeholders.

Other Factors in Automation Planning and Implementation

Existing Systems Assessment

Assessment

We conduct a comprehensive inventory of equipment and systems across facilities to determine the scope of opportunities for improvement.

The result is an understanding of the existing system, what stage of life it is in, what are logical next steps, options for moving forward, and what is the return on investment (ROI).

Vendor Agnostic Design

Vendor Agnostic Design

As an unbiased partner, our goal is to determine the best solution to meet automation needs without any allegiance to a particular brand of equipment or software.

Every client is unique, and every design is tailored to the individual client and market.

System Redesign

System Redesign

Following a thorough inventory and assessment, we have the experience and expertise to redesign systems through retrofit, renovation, or replacement.

Likely the most challenging aspect to obtain competitive bids, our vast industry experience will help to compare “apples to apples.”

Regulatory Compliance
