Hybrid IoT / BMS for on - premises energy management & control
Significant energy savings in less than a year:
• 30% total energy reduction
• ~33% electricity savings for a typical retail store
• ~26% savings on gas usage for a typical retail store
• Solution can be effortlessly cloned to 100s of locations
"Thanks to its highly integrated design, the SmartServer
IoT platform simplified and accelerated our task. We
exceeded our customer's expectations with respect to
energy savings and we estimate that the company will see
a return on its capital investment within 14 months."
-- Paul Wetherfield , CEO, global associates
• A hybrid IoT / BMS solution integrating DFS' legacy BMS and
infrastructure with edge computing, cloud enablement and the latest
LoRaWAN wireless sensors
• LoRaWAN sensors monitor a wide array of conditions; sensors and
other local devices feed into Dialog's SmartServer ™ IoT where a
common data fabric abstracts LoRaWAN datapoints and converts
them into virtual BACnet devices
• Datapoints feed into the pre - existing legacy BMS which uses data to
manage the building more efficiently
• global associates was engaged by retailer DFS to reduce overall
energy usage across 150 sites – initially targeting 10% energy
use reduction
• Needed to integrate BMS + LoRaWAN , but sensor outputs
weren't directly compatible with existing BMS
• They had to integrate numerous other sensors & devices
including concentrators, hubs, routers, and switches; altogether:
BACnet, Modbus, LON & various RS - 485 connections; LoRaWAN
wireless sensors and actuators for HVAC and lighting – all
integrated into a smart solution
