HOW TO SPEC INTEGRATED AUTOMATION

BIDDING DIV. 25

Designing and bidding an IoT and Integrated Platform isn’t what it used to be.  Traditional controls contractors used to bid Division 23, and focused only on the building’s HVAC and control systems. Now that most building systems are connected to the Internet, a need for a better understanding of networks and the different network solutions available is crucial to our industry. Integrators and MSIs are now expected to be familiar with bidding Division 25 – Integrated Automation. This change in our industry introduces several challenges, such as:

  • Integrating more systems
  • OT Networks
  • Working with IT
  • Cybersecurity
  • Specification standardization
  • And more

Join us on our webinar with Greg Fitzpatrick, CxA, Business Development IoT and Integration of Cochrane Supply, and Ryan Hughson, Strategic Solutions Manager at Optigo Networks. We’ll walk you through the key issues of bidding on Division 25, and what skills you can and should bring to the table as an integrator.

BACnet networks can be brought down by excessive traffic, devices sending errors, and hundreds of other variables. Luckily Wireshark can help identify the troublemaker devices and root causes of network problems.

Get ahead of the curve with data that enables your team to make the switch to proactive maintenance. Facility teams are busy — automating even a small part of your workload opens up opportunities to drive change in your building portfolio.

Following our last webinar, there is a huge demand for another webinar on how to use Visual BACnet. Therefore, we are bringing this webinar back and sneaking it in just before the holidays!

Diagnosing problems in your IP network is getting easier. But when your MS/TP network breaks down you have to put on your boots, drive to the site, set up a USB dongle and capture traffic right on site. This becomes a time consuming fix.

How do you know if something has been misconfigured? Do you spend days wondering who is responsible for the recent outage? Failures can go unnoticed for a long time and cause catastrophic problems at inconvenient times.

Determining the health of a building network is difficult, yet extremely valuable. In an age of convergence, building systems often have a number of contractors working on them, adding devices and continuously optimizing the system.

Join us as we take an in-depth exploration into Passive Optical Networking (PON).  We will look at what makes PON unique and discuss how it can create the perfect Converged Building Operations Network in single building or campus projects.

BACnet systems are shockingly vulnerable. Are your systems secure? Join us as we discuss the role of Cybersecurity in BACnet.

6 million commercial building in the US are believe to be secure. Every single one has exposed building controllers, security cameras and access control systems that an entry level hacker can hack into.
