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.

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.

Building owners, operations, and facility managers are always on the move, continually reacting to new emergencies and pulled in different directions. In a world where facility managers need a real-time building automation system, it certainly feels like learning all this technology occupies more time than it saves.

Today’s most advanced building systems seamlessly integrate user-friendly tech tools with smart building analytics. The result? Optimized operational costs, more convenient access, and precise control. The proof is everywhere.

Building automation service providers face frequent urgent requests. One minute you’re on-site for maintenance on a local building automation system and the next you’re rushing out the door to service another location. While it’s good to be busy, things could be simpler. ODIN users appreciate the time and money they save with remote monitoring and control.

Building automation systems have many benefits for owners, facility managers, and occupants. Here are just a few of the things automation can do for your facility:

Cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IOT) have changed the way we live, work, and play. We now use smartphones, mobile devices, and computers to communicate and access our data from anywhere, at any time — on-the-go, on-site at a service call, or in bed on a Saturday night. 

A unique set of obstacles regularly challenges technicians and facility maintenance contractors servicing assisted living facilities. You may have a campus of buildings to look after, a series of individual living units with unique resident needs, or even multiple communities that you serve. This can present certain technical problems that, in the past, were considered the cost of doing business.

It takes more than a skilled team of techs and a BMS to maintain an optimal, compliant environment in your residential care facility. The residents in your care are counting on you for fast responses to any HVAC issues and minimal disruption in their environments for maintenance or system checkups.
