Museums play an invaluable role in connecting people with the past by preserving cultural history. With federal, state, and private support, the U.S. maintains more than 35,000 museums, housing everything from masterpiece paintings to iconic artifacts and scientific milestones.

Smart building technology has been a tremendous boon for facilities in terms of productivity, profitability, and reduced overhead. But the other side of the coin is that some of the valued smart building technologies have inadvertently created cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Many commercial properties with intermittent activities, such as churches, event halls, and sports arenas, may go largely underused for most of the day but may be packed with a large number of occupants for relatively short periods of time. 

Discover how Operator Display Integrated Network (ODIN) can smooth out the wrinkles in a building management system (BMS). The software finally makes it possible to take your building with you, no matter where you go. From standard metrics to emergency alerts, explore the features and functions of a truly remote building automation solution that helps you see what’s happening while you’re gone — and even fix problems without needing to travel on-site. ODIN can be the key to improving oversight while still leaving you enough time to take on new projects.

Building automation has faced several challenges as of late, many of which are related to safety and scalability. ODIN version 2.0 is our newest software release, and it includes a number of exciting improvements. We invite everyone to see how we’ve streamlined everything from the framework to the security.

With ODIN’s remote monitoring, building operators and maintenance engineers can connect to the buildings they manage and instantly find out the status of operating systems. ODIN has a “Trends” feature that helps managers and building engineers understand their buildings from an overall perspective. The Trends show what floors/areas of the building have the most activity and when they are used. The system displays real-time information about how much heating and cooling is used each day and the comfort level of the building occupants.

Using building analytics software to manage a building helps optimize operational efficiency, enhance sustainability, and improve overall performance. A building analytics platform collects real-time data from various sources within a building to discover insights that help inform data-driven decision-making and automate important processes.
