Impi@nti: What it does
Impi@nti cooperate with Aff@ri (Community oriented Business Server) to manage Building Automation Systems (BAS), for the @-Condominium application, with its software hosted in the ISP/ASP Center.
Its features and performances cold be explained by the @-Condominium building automation facility CondoNet.
“Facilities managers are driving the change by demanding more-open systems. They're pushing BAS vendors to transform today's closed technologies into Web-enabled applications running over industry-standard IP networks. And the management of BAS is likely to increasingly fall to IT.” March 14, 2005 (Computerworld)
Impi@nti: how it is used
Interphones Video-Cameras Devices controllers.
Impi@nti enables the facility administration, by WEB based control consol, for all terminal equipments and peripheral devices of everyone building area of everyone condominium of everyone @-Condominium district.
The facility master-console enables to access to specific console, for each type of terminal equipments:
and its various peripheral devices (ex. RFID Readers).
For example the interphones-consol shows the physical location, functional role and status/usage of everyone Interphone, in the concerned area, and enables authorized personnel to add and [re]configure it.
Impi@nti: what results can be obtained
Impi@nti software architecture approaches the building facility management in very flexible way, independently from its size and complexity:
Everyone facility and components are identified by its unique code and correctly located into its right condominium area
The terminal equipments are Ethernet and Internet enabled (WEB-Server, Mail-Client, SNMP-Agent, etc.), as equipped with CPU and programmable Operating System.
The peripheral devices are controlled by the terminal equipments through local connections RS232/USB.
Each facility provides one modem/switch/firewall, that interfaces Internet with Ethernet LAN of the building area CondoNET.
Impi@nti: how it is different
“As building automation systems (BAS) that control heat, air conditioning, lighting and other building systems get smarter, they're converging with traditional IT infrastructures. Emerging standards are enabling data sharing between building systems as well as with other business applications, improving efficiency and real-time control over building operating costs.
Information security concerns, immature standards, the reluctance of vendors to give up proprietary technologies and ignorance among IT professionals of the convergence trend are all slowing the pace of this transformation, but it's gathering momentum.”
