HAZARDS AROUND

While working live in the energized grid, presence of voltage around the workers requires special attention. However, live-line (live working) techniques are widely applied for decades, several accidents in the past prove that the level of safety must be improved to minimize the number and seriousness of injuries in the future.
In the high voltage grid, bare-hand method is a common technique for safe live work. In the surroundings of any energized equipment,...

Cloud-Based BAS: Benefits, Drawbacks, and Considerations for Remote Management

Cloud-Based BAS: Benefits, Drawbacks, and Considerations for Remote Management

The traditional model of building automation systems (BAS) has involved on-premises servers, software installations, and localized data storage. Cloud-based solutions are disrupting this model, offering the potential for greater flexibility, scalability, and ease of access. However, this migration to the cloud also raises important considerations around security, performance, and long-term data management.

Benefits of Cloud-Based Building Automation

Scalability: Cloud-based BAS can easily expand or contract to match changes in a building's space usage, equipment, or the addition of entirely new buildings into the portfolio. This avoids the limitations and upfront infrastructure costs of on-premises systems.

Remote Access and Management: The cloud enables authorized users to monitor and control HVAC systems from anywhere with an internet connection. This is beneficial for multi-building property management, distributed teams, and after-hours troubleshooting.

Reduced IT Overhead: With cloud solutions, the...
