Workplaces of the Future in Intelligent Buildings

The modern workplace is full of IoT sensors and new technology, all designed to make the space more efficient and productive. All of this technology, however, is traditionally dropped into silos or connected to the BMS with little thought given to interoperability between systems. Modern workplaces need to be made intelligent by connecting all spaces, equipment, and sensors to allow for automated workflows, to highlight insights to your operations team, to maximize space utilization, and, ultimately, to keep the occupants productive. Learn how ICONICS is the central intelligence of the modern workplace.

Learn from the Experts and Become a Power User

Want to learn from the experts? This is the session for you! We will feature some of our best and brightest partners, who will cover topics such as designing projects with an eye towards future scalability, effective use of the Bulk Asset Configurator, when and how to use cloning, aliasing and templating of graphics, developing “solutions” rather than delivering one-off projects, extending the ICONICS Suite with APIs, and overall, how best to spend your time as an integrator.

General Session III:
Make the Invisible Visible with Wearables and AR
Speakers: Mark Hepburn, Sanjay Jhawar (RealWear)

Data is all around us. Most of the time it's invisible, inaccessible. Grab that data and make it visible for you and your workers. This session will examine how wearables and augmented reality can bring your data front and center. Connect your workers a plant floor, in the field, or on the go to the data and expertise they need to not only succeed but excel. Give your executives the information they need to make key decisions wherever they are. Break your data out of its cage, make it visible, and get it where it needs to go.
