ODIN Facility Management App Compliments Legacy BMS Front Ends

Have you given up?

How many times have you tried to make adjustments to your building systems using their BMS interface only to be frustrated because it was -

  • Slow
  • Difficult to navigate
  • Produced non-reactive results

Not to mention the fact that the only way to access it is through a workstation on the other side of the building.

So what are you left to do? Give up on the system and make manual adjustments? Live with the inefficiencies?

The traditional way of maintaining control over your building’s systems is no longer efficient or effective (if it ever was). What you need are not new systems, but a better way to operate them.

A Strong System With a Poor Connection

There are two sides to a mechanical system - the actual equipment performing a task and the front end controls. Those controls are generally accessed by a building team member through a BMS interface.

What can often happen is that the actual equipment, when maintained, performs as expected. The problem is that front end interface which isn’t always updated or maintained by the provider leading to lags in control commands and inefficiencies in overall system connectivity. When this happens the equipment doesn’t perform to its full potential.

A Fluid, Flexible Control Platform

It’s easy to get your building systems running efficiently with the ODIN facility management app. And it won’t take an entire IT team, or all new equipment to get started.

The ODIN facility manager app works directly with your existing BAS solutions. Centralizing all of your BACnet Objects into one uniform location, but one that you can access from anywhere through the ODIN facility management software app. This enables the work you need to do, like:

  • Adjusting setpoints
  • Checking alarms
  • Reviewing trends
  • Scheduling equipment

to be completed more efficiently and faster. And from anywhere you have Internet connectivity. You’ll no longer be spending half of your day going from one piece of equipment then across the building to a workstation and making an adjustment and then walking to the next equipment system and repeating that time-consuming process over and over.

And it’s important to remember that the ODIN facility management app works with those existing systems, connecting with them to do things that their current BMS interface can not.

A system of savings

In many ways, the ODIN facility management app undoes the operational inefficiencies and costs you’ve been experiencing with your legacy BMS interface.

By including user roles and compartmentalizing activities through simple interface navigation elements it’s easy to view real-time trends, customize schedules, and set precision alarms. This can help you avoid:

  • Not knowing when equipment isn’t performing at optimal levels
  • Systems being under, or over, used
  • A reliance on a single individual and computer to manage and maintain all of the building’s systems

This leads into:

  • Cost benefits from systems that are running more consistently
  • Faster response times to potential equipment performance concerns
  • Time-savings from doing multiple tasks at one time, in one location
  • Less wear on equipment as it’s only being run as needed
  • Savings on energy costs
  • Lower levels of stress and frustration because you’re avoiding the inefficient performance of the legacy BMS interface

The Only Facility Management App You Need

Don’t give up on controlling your building systems. The streamlined simplicity and intuitive nature of the ODIN app can give you the greater ease-of-use and more detailed insights into your building systems that you need. And because it works in concert with your BACnet objects, you are not replacing anything, only enhancing the performance of those existing systems.

ODIN is not a one-size-fits-all solution either. We feature scalable plans so that your building, and your team, have just what they need to go from frustration with the way things used to be done to the excitement and confidence that ODIN offers.

Find the ODIN plan that will help you improve system access and performance, and free your team from being tied to a single workstation.
