Schneider Electric links building management and security systems

In a prestigious Dubai project recently, Schneider Electric FZE engineers used the OPC DataHub to integrate a building's security system with its energy management system to provide state-of-the-art energy efficiency at substantial cost savings.

"The project was straightforward to implement," said Mr. Pradeep Viswanathan, Schneider Electric's BAS Field Supervisor. "With the excellent support from Software Toolbox and Cogent for the OPC DataHub, and Al Hani Gulf Contracting and Lenel for their expertise with the Lenel OPC server, we were in very good hands. The system has been online for a few months now, and is working very well."

Sending end-of-shift reports by email

Using the OPC DataHub it is easy to configure summary reports as emails that are sent to managers by email on a regular basis. End-of-shift reports and weekly summary reports can be created as either plain text or HTML emails to present the data in desired format.
