u•biq•ui•ty (noun): the state of being, or seeming to be, everywhere at once
Ubiquity™ is a powerful building management system that allows facility managers to be “everywhere at once” via the Internet. Facility management is especially challenging to banks, retailers, restaurants and other businesses that must manage hundreds – or thousands – of remotely located buildings. Imagine how much easier it would be to manage facility assets and energy costs if those many remote buildings could be managed and controlled as if they were in a single location. That level of control and access is possible – and affordable – with Ubiquity™ Enterprise Management from TCS Basys Controls®.
Ubiquity™ represents the next level in facility management, monitoring and control by bringing together many enterprise functions into a single unified interface:
- Energy management / demand limiting
- Building network control and monitoring
- Facility maintenance management (CMMS)
- Documentation of savings
Ubiquity™ creates a synergy between energy management, environmental control, maintenance functions, document and asset management by utilizing a centrally hosted web server and browser-based interface. This central server maintains a constant connection with each site via the internet connection. All functions are performed within the browser-based interface, including programming, scheduling, monitoring and trending of controller data. All data for each site is stored on the centrally hosted server, with redundant functionality and data storage built-in to the onsite network gateway device.
Advantages of the Ubiquity™ centrally hosted server include:
- Lower cost of entry and no long distance charges
- Create and manage groups of sites
- Global capabilities including data aggregation
- Increased functions such as integration with energy management and CMMS
- Automatic software updates and XML support
- Utilize existing communications infrastructure
- Guarantee of up-time -- 24/7 connection
- Off-site data archiving
- Secured environment of server
- Tracking user access/changes
