Deploy Digital Workspace Solutions for the New Normal
With the majority of offices, public buildings and shops being closed due to COVID-19, building management teams were required to periodically, physically visit sites, ensuring that lighting, climate control systems and CCTV systems were all still working correctly. With each trip, they were potentially risking their own and others health. However, those with smart building systems implemented, building management were able to safely and remotely monitor systems and fix any issues, from the safety of their homes. As we anticipate a new normal in terms of safety and health, and as we look to start introducing more people back into buildings, smart building management systems will have the ability to support applications that can help to safely monitor and manage the threat of coronavirus.
Connect Your Equipment: Fast and Easy Secure IoT
The need to quickly connect and control distributed operations and existing control systems has never been greater than now. This session will demonstrate how customers are doing just that via edge devices with fast IoT. Create a secure operator console using data from existing control systems combined with the power of cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure to enable predictive maintenance and achieve operational excellence.
