Counterfeiting Kills

Each year, the counterfeiting of well-known brands and products continues to rise, creating an even more threatening problem. Such well-known counterfeited brands, including consumer safety and critical electrical products, are estimated to be five to seven percent of world trade. The International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC) estimates that the counterfeiting of distinguished brands costs industries $600 billion each year worldwide and may result in as many as 750,000 lost jobs every year in the United States.

Using Building Automation Analytics to Drive Operational Insights

Building automation systems (BAS) continuously generate an enormous amount of data on HVAC equipment operation, energy consumption patterns, sensor readings, and more. This data, when properly harnessed, holds the key to unlocking critical insights that can significantly enhance building operations. Advanced analytics, tailored for the building automation domain, transform raw data into a wellspring of actionable information.

Building automation systems (BAS) constantly collect a vast stream of data. Temperatures, equipment runtimes, energy consumption patterns, sensor readings – a modern BAS generates an incredible amount of information about the inner workings of your building. However, this raw data alone doesn't provide much value. The true potential lies in harnessing building automation analytics – tools that transform that data into actionable insights, empowering you to make smarter decisions that optimize your building's operations.

Harnessing the Power of Analytics

Imagine analytics as a set of specialized lenses for examining your building's data. Descriptive...
