Disparate BMS platforms block revenue
GHD DIGITAL, PART of global professional services company, GHD, and Mindtree Limited, a global information technology consulting firm, have come together to transform how cli- ents in the property and buildings sector view and manage their assets.
The partnership combines GHD Digital’s knowledge of building design and operation, with Mindtree’s extensive track record in cloud based, loT platforms and analytics, to deliver ef- ficiencies for clients and communities and cre- ate previously untapped revenue opportunities through the collection of data.
This will be achieved using a platform-based service to bring together data that may already
exist in disparate building management sys- tems, such as energy use, maintenance and oc- cupancy, and leveraging the latest advances in technology to support strategic decision mak- ing for owners.
GHD’s Global Digital Leader, Kumar Par- akala, said for many organisations there is a lack of integration between building manage- ment, IT and financial systems, making it dif- ficult to correlate data and develop an end-to- end view of their assets, especially for clients that operate many buildings with different proprietary systems.
He said most building systems work in silos. GHD and Mindtree will break down these silos

by integrating disparate data streams into a sin- gle ‘Connected Buildings’ management system.
“Insights powered by data are the new cur- rency that enables businesses to establish new benchmarks in performance,” Parakala added.
Chief Strategy Officer and Head of APAC for Mindtree, Gaurav Johri, said applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to aggregat- ed data creates vast opportunities for the prop- erty industry to offer a quantum leap in cus- tomer experience and operational efficiency.

Cloud-based analytics on steroids
BLUE IOT HAS launched Austral- ia’s first end to end IoT (Internet of Things) Intelligent Cloud Building Management System (BMS).
From edge devices through to a 100% Australian owned highly se- cured Tier IV data centre there is no more need for a traditional pro- prietary BMS that is both expen- sive, local and cumbersome, the company said in a statement.
“No more expensive sensors and cables to contend with. Blue IoT uses low cost and secure wireless sensors and edge devices,” the company said.
“These are capable of capturing and aggregating data from multi- ple sources. This Aussie first which can also be retrofitted for existing buildings and spaces, as well for greenfield projects is deliv- ered from a secure IoT cloud Intel- ligent BMS platform using a pri- vate secured network.” Blue IoT founder, Bob Sharon, said it is BMS on steroids which utilises a glob- ally supported data analytics plat- form as the brains to deliver all the traditional BMS functions. Sharon said the same platform simultane- ously correlates, analyses and ma- chine learns mountains of data every second in order to further op- timize building infrastructure ap- plicable to hospitals, HVAC, manu- facturing etc., all in real time. “The traditional BMS Solutions that are slow to deliver a Return on Investment (ROI) are a thing of the past.”
