Facility networking is a network application that manages facilities such as buildings. Specifically, the application manages energy, including the monitoring of meters and the control of lights, air conditioners and the water supply. The application also manages security using cameras and sensors.
The scope of conventional building management systems has usually been limited to the monitoring and control of a network environment within the facility. However, with the advent of IPv6-based networks that ensure safe and suitable bandwidth control, integrated monitoring and control of multiple buildings from a remote location has become possible. In this way, the application reduces operational costs in building management.
At this year’s exhibition, we will demonstrate remote integrated monitoring and the control of multiple buildings where different building management systems from different vendors are displayed.
Another demonstration will also be given in real-time of the three-dimensional checking of weather report from small, multi-purpose meteorological units located at more than twenty places around Japan through IPv6/v4 networks.
